How to install

1. In your WHCMS installation, in the modules/registrars/, create a gandi directory.
2. Download the latest release.
3. Unzip & copy all files in the gandi directory.
4. Make a symbolic link named resources/domains/additionalfields.php pointing to modules/registrars/gandi/resources/domains/additionalfields.php.
5. Activate the addon in the Setup->Domain Registrars section of WHMCS admin.

How to configure

In the Setup->Domain Registrars section of WHMCS admin, you have access to the following settings:

• API key: set it your own, personal, API key for Gandi APIs.
• Organization: select the organization to which domains operations will be billed.
• Registration / transfer templates: chose the DNS templates to apply after registration / transfer success (these templates are set in your gandi reseler account).
• DNS to use: if you choose Gandi Live DNS, all domain registrations will specify Gandi LiveDNS as DNS and all DNSSEC and snapshots options will be available to your customers (see note below).
• DNS record types: choose extended to take full advantage of Gandi LiveDNS (needs template customization)
• Security, privacy & performance: check to display a summary in the domain details page of the client area.

💡️️ Gandi Registrar for WHMCS allows you to delegate your DNS handling to Gandi LiveDNS. To do so, you have to select "Gandi LiveDNS" in this module settings and have livedns.gandi.net as default name servers in WHMCS main domains config. Note livedns.gandi.net is not an existing host, it's just the easiest way to fill some gaps in the WHMCS APIs.

Languages

To have this module's interface in your own language, you have to copy the content of the right file located in /resources/lang/ directory and paste it in your main WHMCS language file.

If you have translated these strings in a not yet supported language, please share it ❤️
