Hi Lewis,
Re: CD signup scripting
From: Ron Lockard
Date: Sunday, January 25, 2004
Time: 9:26:56 pm
Yes it all works with the stock pages, but I was trying to implement the
same functionality with Optiskin. I almost have it but I don't know how
to get the real phone number passed back from Optigold to the Optiskin
pages after the user has selected it. That's my only problem at the
moment since I'd like to totally automate the PC configuration after the
signup is done.
I think I'm going to write a PHP script that will ask the user the same
selection process, but it won't interface with Optigold. That way I can
automatically update the number list also using the same CSV file that
is read in by ISPWizard during it's build. I was also wondering if what
you've done already was possible without actually writing the file to
disk. I was thinking it could be done on the fly so I'm going to give
that a try. I'll let you know how it goes and pass back the results.
Thanks,
Ron
