Template Customization

[lethal.network]

Hello, I recently decided to switch over to blesta and away from WHMCS. Right now I'm in trouble because I could not find any documentations for customizing templates or in my case 'converting' my WHMCS template to a bleasta template/writing a whole new template. In fact I installed blesta in the root of my domain and when i access it i only get a 404 rather than an index page.

 

If you could tell me about any documentation sources that would be quite awesome. 

 

Thank you, Stan.

your error "404" is certainly not related to blesta, you could create 2 files at the root of your blesta install

 

hello.txt

 

with content

Hello lethal network

info.php

 

with content

<?php

// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
phpinfo();

?>

and if both load fine in your Internet browser, your webserver config is ok.

 

Please note that all above is not related/specific to blesta, but if above do not work, Blesta will not be working as well

mostly regarding blesta template customization,

 

Frontend templates are here  MY-BLESTA-PATH/app/views/client

 

so there you could copy the bootstrap folder, & rename it to a custom name, What I did was to remame it like my domain without the extension, so later when I will be muti-domain (multi-company), I will have one template by company.

 

purpose to have your own template, is for not being rewritted when there is Blesta update

 

 

So in your template folder, there is structure.pdt file, it's from here your content come from.

 

Note also you need Portal/cms plugin activated at blesta, and also makes your front end template is set at the blesta admin panel

Regarding the 404, in my opinion it is realted to blesta. See here: https://lethal.network

 

 

I checked the template folder and im confused, maybe because im used to whmcs templating.

 

Do i have to style/code each page? im confused where my header/footer code goes into. im also wondering if theres a index page?

Welcome to the community looks like you managed to fix the 404 error.

There are companies out there who will integrate your Blesta for you like BlestaTheme.com and ModulesBakery.com
