[edit] Installation and Configuration

We will guide you step by step through the whole installation process.

[edit] Installation

1. Log in to our client area and download the module.
REE 1.png
2. In the downloaded file you might find one or two packages that support different PHP versions.

In the most recent versions of the module, you will find only one package that supports PHP 7.1 and later.

PHP71 74.png
Previous updates of the module may contain two packages dedicated to various PHP versions.

The first one that supports PHP 5.6 up to PHP 7.0, and the second one addressed to PHP 7.1 up to PHP 7.3.
Note: Keep in mind that PHP versions 5.6 up to 7.0 are no longer officially supported and their security issues are not fixed or released any more. Find more info here.

PHP56 73.png
Note: You can check the current PHP version in your WHMCS. To do so, proceed to 'Utilities' → 'System' → 'PHP Info'.
3. Extract the package and upload its content into the main WHMCS directory.

The content of the package to upload should look like this.

Dstfret.png
4. When you install Rackspace Email Extended For WHMCS for the first time you have to rename 'license_RENAME.php' file.

File is located in 'modules/servers/rackspaceEmailExtended/license_RENAME.php'. Rename it from 'license_RENAME.php' to 'license.php'.

REE 3.png
5. In order to configure your license key you have to edit a previously renamed 'license.php' file.

Enter your license key between quotation marks as presented on the following screen. You can find your license key in our client area → 'My Products'.

REE 4.png

[edit] Server Configuration

6. Set up a new server and a product.

To do so, log in to your WHMCS. Move to 'Setup' → 'Products/Services' → 'Servers'.
Afterwards, press 'Add New Server'.

REE 5.png
7. To proceed, you will need to obtain your Rackspace API keys. To do so, log in to your reseller 'Rackspace Account'.
Find 'Manage Admins' in the Common Actions box on the top right corner. You will be moved to the 'Administartors' setion.
REE2 6.png
8. When you are on the ' Administrators' page, click the 'API KEYS'. You will find it on the left, in navigation menu.
REE2 7.png
9. A popup with 'Your API Key' will appear. Copy your 'User' and 'Seccret Keys', you will need them in the next part of the module configuration.
REE2 8.png
10. Enter your server name and choose 'RackspaceEmailExtended' from a 'Type' dropdown menu.

Paste the previously copied 'User Key' and 'Secret Key' into 'Username' and 'Password' fields.
Enter the 'Hostname' address to your Webmail server - it is required for the 'Login to Webmail' function in the client area.
Afterwards, press 'Save Changes'.

REE 8.png
11. After you configure your server correctly, you will see a following screen.

Now, you need to create a new group for your server. For that purpose press 'Create New Group'.

REE 9.png
12. Enter name, click on your previously created server, press 'Add' then press 'Save Changes'.
REE 10.png

[edit] Product Configuration

12. In order to create and configure product, move to 'Setup' → 'Products/Services' → 'Products/Services'.

If you do not have a product group, 'Create a New Group'. If you do, simply go to step 13.

REE 11.png
13. Enter product group name and press 'Save Changes'.
REE 12.png
14. When you have a product group, you can create your product and assign it to Rackspace Email Extended. If you already have a product, go to step 15.

To create a product click on 'Create a New Product'.

REE 13.png
15. Afterwards, choose your product type and product group from dropdown menus, enter your product name and press 'Continue'.
REE 14.png
16. Now, go to 'Module Settings' section, choose both 'RackspaceEmailExtended' and your previously created server group from dropdown menus.

Decide which of the service types you would like to use and choose it from a dropdown menu.
Afterwards, enter desired values in configuration fields and press 'Save Changes'.
Please note that values do not need to be constant. You can use configurable options to adjust the values.
Obtain more information about configurable options here.

REE 15.png
17. In the last step you need to create a new client custom field.

To do so, proceed to 'System Settings' → 'Custom Fields/Custom Client Fields'.
Fill in 'EmailCustomerID' into field name, tick 'Admin Only ' and press 'Save Changes'.

REE 15 1.png
18. Important! Our module does not automatically download 'EmailCustomerID' for the proper Rackspace customer.

To prevent duplicating accounts on Rackspace side you have to manually fill in 'EmailCustomerID' with appropriate value before running 'Create' function.
You can find more about it here.

REE 37.png
Good job! You have just correctly set up your first product with Rackspace Email.

Product after a successful activation presents similarly to the one presented on the screen below.

REE 16 1.png

[edit] Management

In the following sections we will try to present all the possibilities of Rackspace Email Extended For WHMCS features.

[edit] Configuration of Orders

Rackspace Email Extended For WHMCS allows you to offer a product tailored to customers needs. Let's create such an order.

For this purpose you need to create at least one configurable option. In this guide we will create a few more to present you the possibilities of our module.
If you are not familiar with configurable options yet, you can read more about them here
These are configurable options fields created by us, connected with our Rackspace Email Extended product.

REE 17.png
Proceed to your product 'Module Settings' tab now.

Here, you need to fill in the marked fields with desired configurable option names as shown on the screen below.
Afterwards, press 'Save Changes'.

REE 18.png
If you fill out 'Module Settings' with correct names, during order made from the admin area, you should see similar screen to the one below.

Otherwise, ensure that configurable option names are filled out correctly.

REE 19.png
Let's see how it looks like from the perspective of your customers.

As you can see, owing to configurable options, they are now able to define mailbox size, amount of mailboxes, extra storage and many other options.
This makes each order perfectly suited to your customers needs.

[edit] Email Hosting

Email Hosting is an internet hosting service that manages electronic messages through an email server.

[edit] Mailboxes

Let's start with some basic functionality of the module, that is the mailboxes management.

Creating a mailbox is quick and easy.

The first step is filling out 'General' form, where you can define user details, password and mailbox size.

It enables sharing of business critical information online or through enabled wireless devices.

[edit] Mailboxes

As in Email Hosting you can create new email accounts and manage them.

[edit] Management of Billing

When you combine Rackspace Email Extended For WHMCS with Advanced Billing For WHMCS, you will be able to set up additional billing options.

[edit] Management of Existing Account

You can easily use Rackspace Email For WHMCS module with your already created rackspace account.

Instructions below explain how to set it up:
1. Follow Installation instructions.
Remember not to click 'Create' button during the entire process. That would unnecessarily create a new rackspace email account.
2. Log in to your Rackspace Email server.
3. Look for 'Acct#' values, these are your clients IDs.

[edit] Upgrading Product

You can offer an upgrade from Rackspace Email to Rackspace Email Extended.

To set it up correctly, proceed to 'Setup' → 'Product/Services' → 'Product/Services' and edit your Rackspace Email product.
Now, proceed to 'Upgrades' tab and choose a previously configured 'Rackspace Email Extended' product (in our case it was 'Email Accounts - Email Advanced' ).
Additionally, if you wish to offer an upgrade along with possibility to define product resource, tick 'Configurable Options' checkbox.
Next, press 'Save Changes'.

Choose 'Upgrade/Downgrade' from 'Management Actions'.

[edit] Tips

1. You need to be registered in Rackspace as a reseller, only then Rackspace Email Extended For WHMCS will work properly.
If you have a regular account in Rackspace, Rackspace Email Extended For WHMCS will not work.
2. Please note that although action 'Suspend' is available in Module Commands, the action itself is not supported by Rackspace API.
It is not possible to call this action currently.

[edit] Update Instructions

An essential guidance through the process of updating the module is offered here.

Ensure successful completion of the module update by carefully following each step, thereby preventing data loss or any unforeseen issues.
Additionally, you will find a current list of supplementary actions necessary for a smooth update process there.

[edit] Upgrade Guide

Seeking a solution that offers greater flexibility, customization tailored to your precise needs, and unrestricted availability?
There is an option that not only proves to be cost-effective in the long run but also includes prioritized support services, making it a truly valuable investment.

Opt for the Open Source version of your Rackspace Email Extended For WHMCS module to unlock these benefits.
Simply click on either the Get Source Code or Upgrade To Lifetime button found on the product's page in our client area to complete the one-step upgrade process, with a dedicated discount already applied.

Follow a comprehensive guide covering the transition process, the advantages it brings, and step-by-step instructions on what to do next after the order has been successfully finalized.

[edit] Common Problems

1. When you have problems with connection, check whether your SELinux or firewall does not block ports.
2. If any undesired numbers appear in your client area, like the ones shown on the following screen, you can easily remove them.
REE 42.png
To do so, edit 'your_whmcs/templates/your_template/clientareaproductdetails.tpl' . Find and delete the following code: 
{foreach from=$configurableoptions item=configoption}
<p><h4>{$configoption.optionname}:</h4> {if $configoption.optiontype eq 3}{if $configoption.selectedqty}{$LANG.yes}
{else}{$LANG.no}{/if}
{elseif $configoption.optiontype eq 4}{$configoption.selectedqty} x {$configoption.selectedoption}
{else}{$configoption.selectedoption}{/if}</p>
{/foreach}

Keep in mind that code may slightly differ from the one shown above.

3. If customer rackspace accounts are duplicated go to step 17 of 'Installation'. You will find there a solution.
4. If, after clicking on 'Login to Webmail' , there is no correct redirection, make sure that the hostname address to your Webmail server is correctly entered in the WHMCS server configuration.
