the signup page itsel
www.your-domain.com/clientexec-installation-folder/signup.php

and also the other pages like where they fill out their details , and how to edit them ... or just any info on how to check the pages
I think you're looking for the administration pages here... that should be just www.your-domain.com/clientexec-installation-folder/
I suggest just going through all the options in the "Admin" section there. You can add custom fields to the signup page at "Admin->Custom Fields". You can add hosting packages and such at "Admin->Types & Packages". You can set up email templates at "Admin->Settings->Email Templates". This should get you started, but there's much more to explore :).

Welcome and have fun :D

...oh yeah.. and you can edit the look of the pages by editing the *.tpl files in the /templates folder in your clientexec install directory. You can also edit /signup.php.

I posted this a few days ago, and think it should help you:

In login_header.tpl, after the below:

Code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<html>
<head>
<link rel="Shortcut Icon" href="{CLIENTEXECURL}/favicon.ico" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="templates/{TEMPLATE}/style/style.css">
<div id="overDiv" style="position:absolute; visibility:hidden; z-index:1000;"></div>
<script language="JavaScript" src="javascript/overlib.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="javascript/common.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="javascript/checkform.js"></script>
<title>{pageTitle}</title>
</head>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------place your header html code such as:

<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
your header info here!
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Then open a table to CE:

<table><tr><td valign=top>

and close that file.

Then open up login_footer.tpl and close the above table with:

</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
your footer info here!!
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

You'll need to specify your table and tr widths of course.

Yup... that's how I did it on my site.... just want to make one minor correction though:
Then open up login_footer.html and close the above table with:
I think that should be login_footer.tpl instead :D

You are correct, I must have missed that. Thanks for pointing that out, and it is now corrected. I had a hard time grasping that at first, only because I'm always in such a hurry, and don't always think right. lol

It's fairly simple if you understand basic HTML.
Bahahah...

What's really funny is I just spent an hour editing all the .tpl files like mad. Loaded my custom folder, switched to it in the admin panel... you should have seen the mess I made. It was humorous to say the least.

So... I come here and find this thread on first looking. Amazing how hard we can make things on ourselves, regardless of how well you know HTML!

*sighs* Oh well, Thanks for the pointers folks!
