In case you want to register **.FI** domains, please add the contents of the file "**additionalfields.txt**" to "**resources/domains/additionalfields.php**". In case you are registering **.EU** domains, please note that as of plugin version **1.3.4** you should remove the **"\[.eu\]"**-section from "**resources/domains/additionalfields.php**", since they now have been implemented by WHMCS directly. The configuration of the Joker.com registrar module is done by using the **WHMCS admin section**. For this, please login as "admin" into your WHMCS installation, and navigate to **Setup -> Products/Services -> Domain Registrars** Pick "Joker.com" from the list, "Activate" the plugin, and enter your Joker.com Reseller's credentials - **the same you are using for DMAPI**. Alternatively, you also may use Joker.com API keys. You also may choose to use the "TestMode" for dry run on our OT&E platform, or to configure the free Joker.com nameservers as a default for new domains. Once activated, you may always change these settings by clicking on "Configure". Don't forget to "Save Changes" after doing so. #### Usage: You will find most options for domains in section "**Clients -> Domain registrations**" - **click on the domain name** to see all domain details. A special command there is "**Sync**" at the '**Registrar Commands**' - this will trigger a manual sync of a domain's status and expiration date with Joker.com, in case it was modified outside of WHMCS. This is usually also done automatically by the '**WHMCS domainsync cron**' - please make sure that you added this with your WHMCS installation. Please send us your feedback: Enjoy! 1) the WHMCS plugin is provided "as-is" without any further obligation or promise of quality or reliability. The normal Joker.com Terms & Conditions apply.
