Moving from reseller template to remote forms.

[Mike Litross]

After a reseller has a template set up on their own domain, one of the next steps forward is to look at the remote forms......well at least that's what I think and where I am.

As well as getting some info for myself, I also like the idea of documenting Q & As on a thread (this thread?) for those that follow me and for RP.

Here are two questions to start with:-

1-I have made a hosting order webpage and uploaded.....two different ways. (I might add at this point that I don't know anything about iframes.) They look similar to a visitor but by using the right mouse button and looking at the source code, they are very different. One has the same code which I cut and pasted from the RP control panel and the other has all the downloaded coding.
Q1-Which is better and why?

2-I've read about needing the store id and the plan id in the URL.
Q2a-Is this automatic?
Q2bHow do I check that my new site does this?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

Here are a couple of answers for you:

1. You definitely want to use the code that's provided in the Reseller Control Panel, as this will be the best guarantee of a smooth order process for your users.

2a. No, you would have to format this yourself. It is not automatically done.
2b. You can format the URLs, then click-through to make sure they display the correct plan on the order form.

Remote Forms Code

Thanks for your quick response.

It seems like my Q1 was misunderstood/not clear.

Both codes are from the Reseller Control Panel but the difference is the first seems to call the code from another domain and the second has all the code in my html.

I will try to paste a section of code below for each.

Some result but code is different

The first way has this code.......

<iframe frameborder='0' style='width: 1200px; height: 2000px' src='http://mydomainname.**********.com/?action=f_domain'></iframe>





The second page has coding which is very long for example..
var priceLayer = 0;
var presentTLD = null;
var presentCurrency = 'USD';
var currencySigns = {USD:'$',GBP:'&pound;',EUR:'&euro;',CAD:'$',AUD:'$ '};
var pricez = new Array();
var minPeriod = new Array();
var idp_prices = new Array();
pricez['com'] = new Array();
minPeriod['com'] = 1;
pricez['com'][1] = {
USD:7,
GBP:5.1982875,
EUR:5.918621625,
AUD:10.389148875,
CAD:9.25295175 };
pricez['com'][2] = {
USD:17,
GBP:12.6244125,
EUR:14.373795375,
AUD:25.230790125,
CAD:22.47145425 };
pricez['com'][3] = {
USD:27,

Rephrasing my questions

1-Is this second way faster?
2-Is the second way permitted by RP?
3-Are both effective when a visitor makes a purchase.


BTW, thanks for the other answer too.
I don't know exactly what format means but I will try to FORMAT the forms myself.
If I can't do it, is there somewhere I can find instructions or should I come back to this thread?

Thanks.

If you dont want to use the forms then you can use the API.

See here for more detail.
