Hi Ron,
Re: CD signup scripting
From: Lewis Watson
Date: Sunday, January 25, 2004
Time: 8:09:41 pm
At this time I have it configured where ISPWizard offers the choices for
the phone number after the user signs up. After the server passes the .ins
file back to ISP Wizard it asks the user to choose a phone number and the
ISP Wizard screen with the user's newly created information is already
filled in. The user has to choose a phone number and then click OK. I
have not decided the final way I want the phone number handled.. I have
considered having the phone number chosen based off the clients number but
I don't know if this could possibly set me up for legal trouble. At the
same time most clients know what's local for them and what is not but the
number of people who really don't know what's local for them is pretty
amazing. So... for now they choose from the numbers specified in ISP
Wizard but this may change in the future for me.
I think Optigold does pass the number back. I had this line included when
I used the stock Optigold pages. I don't think that the Optiskin pages
offers the numbers at all though - however I may be wrong on this as I
decided to use ISP Wizard to offer the numbers to the client.
Thanks,
Lewis
