Installing the front-end

If you are using the new Six template SoluteDNS can add the required menu entries automatically, meaning you can skip the next steps.

1. Open your template folder and locate clientareadomaindetails.tpl.

2. Open the file in a text editor and locate:

{if $dnsmanagement}<li><a href="clientarea.php?action=domaindns&domainid={$domainid}">{$LANG.clientareadomainmanagedns}</a></li>{/if}

Example code

3. Change clientarea.php?action=domaindns to index.php?m=solutedns

further on in this document you may have this code:

{if $addonstatus.dnsmanagement}
<a href="clientarea.php?action=domaindns&domainid={$domainid}">Manage</a> | <a href="clientarea.php?action=domainaddons&id={$domainid}&disable=dnsmanagement&token={$token}">Disable</a>
{else}

Also replace here clientarea.php?action=domaindns to index.php?m=solutedns

4. Safe the document in your template folder.

5. When necessary clear your template cache: Go to: Ulities > System > Cleanup en click ‘Emty Template Cache’.

 

You are now ready to use SoluteDNS!
