Stellar - Premium WHMCS Template

- Implemented a dark color scheme with a toggle option to instantly switch between light and dark - a highly requested feature from clients.
- Customized some image colors to suit both light and dark colors
- Every one of the main menu colors and some spacing can now be customized using the new CSS variables found in variables.css. Using these variables you can easily override any single color from the main menu. This update is in preparation for the dark color scheme option.
- Replaced image based main menu icons with Font Awesome - Using Font Awesome icons instead of images is faster and allows the colors to be customized with CSS (instead of editing images). 
- Highlight tag (new, hot) support added to the single dropdown. Previously only available for the mega menu.
- Single dropdown now uses a font awesome icon for each dropdown item. Can be removed by setting the icon in variables.css to empty.
- Used a new and much more efficient method for displaying the mega menu image icons - this new method reduces required CSS from 10+ lines to 3.

• Fixed bug where footer social icons would display on other WHMCS Themes

v3 is a huge update adding a multitude of features and enhancements. We have moved the old .tpl based functions to Wizard Panel for improved speed and usability (plan generation, banners, features, why choose us, testimonials, social icons, addons, domain checker & more). Removed many settings from the language files to Wizard Panel (notably the homepage slider and service page banners). Language files are much more simple to understand and more is editable via Wizard Panel (when multi-language is set to off).

The addition of image support for all feature boxes means the template could be used as a WHMCS based physical product ecommerce site with up to 100 products & 10 categories (unlimited using HTML Snippets).

V2

Our biggest update yet, this update has taken 7+ months of development. Brace yourself:

• Main Changes:

  • Complete re-development of Stellar. Every line of code has been re-written from scratch to be as efficient as possible
  • Child Theme - Stellar is now a child theme of the WHMCS Twenty One template. As a child theme Stellar now loads 95% of the template files from WHMCS. This will ensure that updates going forward are significantly easier and faster.
  • New Mega Menu - The menu has been re-developed and functions perfectly on all devices making use of a burger dropdown for tablets/smart phones. New 2 column layout supports text/content applied to each menu dropdown category.
  • New Client Area - Stellar now uses the Twenty One template as a base. Twenty One has many improvements to the client area design/UI over the previous Six template.
  • Wizard Panel v2.1 - improved efficiency, speed & more settings
  • All of the default content has been re-written. Some less relevant default Wizard Panel service pages have been replaced with IPTV and Web Design
  • Font Awesome icons - The majority of icons now use font awesome, you can easily replace any icon with a choice of over 7000
  • Slider Layout - Each sales page now supports a product slider layout
  • CSS Variables - css/template.css now utilises CSS variables. A CSS variable allows a value to be inputed once but used though-out the file. This is especially useful for changing the color scheme of Stellar. Change it in one location to update every color within the template.
  • Order control - You can now re-order many of the elements on the template including pages, plans, features, social icons & more
  • Language text - You can now duplicate most content within english.php to generate a new block on a page (up to 10). For example if you want to add a new feature to the shared hosting page simply duplicate a feature block and increment the number reference. We have also made each content block intelligent in that if for example you leave a string blank it will automatically adapt in the front end. E.g leaving a button URL as blank will remove the whole button. You will also find some variables defined at the top of english.php, these allow you to instantly update values across the whole file from one location (for example setting your company name)
  • Page Highlighting - Site wide page highlighting. Set any page as hot/new and it will display a badge throughout the template (main menu, footer menu)
  • Slideshow/banner - The slideshow now supports up to 10 slides along with complete control over each individual slide. Background image, opacity, content image, 2 buttons along with font awesome icons and even video support. Each of the 10 Wizard Panel pages now include the same banner allowing you to better show off the features of each product/service you provide
  • Domain changes - The old registerdomain.php page has been replaced with the WHMCS domain pricing page, this page benefits from a WHMCS generated domain pricing table. The old transferdomain.php page has been replaced with the WHMCS transfer domain page for improved reliability
  • New items in cart banner - As with the previous version Stellar will display a banner when 1 or more items are added to the cart but the user navigates away. We have re-developed this feature to include a cart total (pulled from WHMCS), coupon display incentive, contact support button and an apply discount cart button that automatically applies the coupon.
  • Toolbar - Choose between the My Account dropdown and WHMCS menu for clients. When logged-in the toolbar will now more clearly display the account links (since the new changes to WHMCS profiles)
  • Notifications badge and popup - When logged-in the toolbar will now display the notifications total as a badge. When clicked a popup will open showing the notifications
  • Cart steps bar - The steps bar shown on the cart will now display a check icon as each step in the cart process has been completed
  • FAQ block - We have added a new FAQ block to the homepage and all service pages. This block will display a contact button and up to 10 FAQs that you can define on a per page basis.
  • Affiliate Program page - All new commissions table - easily set your own specific commissions for the products/services you provide. Marketing tools section added with 3 default banners (PSD files included)
  • Addons pages - New design of all elements. The logo and banner design pages support you promoting these services yourself or as a white label service from Zomex (Simply create the services in your WHMCS and change the order URLs to go to your services.)
  • Marketconnect pages within the main menu and footer menu are now loaded as includes from separate files. This ensures that every time WHMCS add a new page Stellar can be updated without overriding your menu file or requiring you to manually apply the changes
  • We have included a text file containing the WHMCS version support (stellar/template-info-whmcs.txt). This file will be updated with every WHMCS update so it is easy to see which version of WHMCS your template supports

• Wizard Panel v2.1

  • Improved efficiency and UI
  • Slider layout - new layout option for displaying your plans
  • Re ordering - you can now change the display order of both pages and individual plans (limited to the table and feature box layouts)

  • Plan highlighting - now supports various badges including hot, popular, free and new
  • Free pricing - you can now set a price to "free" (case sensitive) for any plan. This will automatically remove the currency prefix and suffix for that plan in the template and display the word free (translateable)
  • Suffix - supports content displayed after each price (e.g $3.99 "AUD")
  • Client Area Menu - Choose between the toolbar and WHMCS menu when a client is logged-in
  • Font Awesome icons - Set your icon (or leave blank for no icon) for the footer links, check/cross comparison tables, buttons
  • Slideshow - various new settings for the slideshow including support for up to 10 slides, auto slide, speeds & adaptive height
  • WHMCS Marketconnect pages - you can now enable/disable these pages within Wizard Panel (for a page to display it will need to be enabled in both WHMCS and Wizard Panel. This allows you to test a page enabled in WHMCS without displaying it in the template). Also define custom SEO data for each of the pages
  • HTML Snippets - improved layout including tabbed display and snippet preview images, new HTML snippets added including the new slider layout
