With this extension, a WHMCS user will not need to install a massive CMS/Blog application like WordPress, Drupal or Joomla. This will make WHMCS behave like those site managers and therefore eliminate the need to have a separate website to manage.

It provides GUI methods to easily add or manage:

• unlimited post categories
• unlimited pages
• product detail page type
• custom menu items
• sidebar widgets for various content types
• template manager to customize display
• assign different template to categories, product groups and menu items
• image manager for all page types to insert image
• page view permission system
• data shortcode output system
• multi-media content for all page type
• add social share buttons

Page Types

• Product group
• Product detail
• Post categories
• Post category
• Post detail

Formatting Shortcodes

Every page type has a display layout textarea which allows easy custom formatting by simply arranging shortcode placeholders to place the page's data objects anywhere.

Shortcodes which can be used in any page type:

• [title] output the title of the page
• [image] output the image if available
• [text] output the text body
• [videoplayer] output a video playlist
• [video="https://youtu.be/2k9MpD1gM14"] output a video
• [gallery] output a photo gallery
• [socialshare] output social share buttons
• [facebookcomment] output Facebook comment field
• [disqus] output Disqus comment field
• [slideshow] output an included slide show of any media type
• [product="4"] output a specific product with image (if exist), title, price, add to cart button
• [post="23"] output a specific post with image, title, 150 characters from text body
• [widget="7"] output any widget with all its data source
• [contactform="mail:site.com"] output a basic contact form
• [map="43 main st tucson az"] output an interactive Google map
• [countdown="02/07/2019"] output a count down clock to highlight a sale
• [download="downloads/file.zip"] output a button to download a file. Will show a counter, filename and size and hash value

The arrangement of the shortcodes will give each page its unique appearance. The arrangement can be set globally via the global configuration or per category / product group or per post / product detail.

There are also [div] and [span] container elements shortcodes and class attributes to fine tune displays.

Product Detail Page

The product pages can now be displayed individually instead of solely as a group so a reader can share just one product to social networks and include a poster image.

Menu Manager

The menu manager is similar to most CMS and makes it easy for the user to create unlimited menu items and menu groups. So a site can have unlimited groups of navigation menu items placed on different pages in any sidebar position by using the included menu display widget.

Language Editor

There is a language editor which makes language value override simple without FTP access. A simply search method will return the constant and its value and the user simply change and save to the current language override file.

Template Manager

A template manager is included and makes it simple to create child templates and edit the files in the admin area. Templates can be developed to include a GUI configuration whereby the user will not need to make any code changes but simply choose values.

Different template child themes can be assigned to product groups, post categories and menu items.

Viewer Permission System

A viewer permission system is also included which will allow a user to set access based on viewer level : Public, Guest, Client, Client Group, Support Staff, Admins.

Data Objects Shortcode TinyMCE Plugin

The shortcodes can easily be inserted to a post by using the TinyMCE plugin created for the purpose.
