Upgrade instructions

The upgrade process varies depending on whether or not you have made any changes or customisations to any of the theme files (including theme-options.tpl, custom.css or any other theme files).

If you have not changed or customized any of the theme files, you can simply download the latest version of the theme files from our website and upload them to your web server, overwriting the previous version of the theme files.

For details of how to download and install the theme files, please follow steps 1 and 2 of the installation instructions section above.

If you have made changes or customizations to any of the theme files, the following upgrade process is recommended.

Step 1: download Simplicity theme

To download the latest version of Simplicity Theme, please follow the steps below:

1. Log in to My Account
2. Select Account Overview from the My Account menu
3. Scroll down the Account Overview page to the My Products section and select Simplicity WHMCS Theme from the list of available products
4. Scroll down the Simplicity WHMCS Theme page to the Product Downloads section
5. Choose the version of the theme you would like to download (we would always recommend using the latest available version of Simplicity Theme) and click the download button
6. Extract the contents of the downloaded zip file on your computer

Step 2: check which files need updating

Please refer to the Simplicity theme release notes and changelog to identify which theme files have been changed/updated since your installed version. If more than one new version has been released since you last installed or updated your current version, you will need to check the release notes and changelog for each subsequent version to identify all the files that need updating.

Step 3: update required files

After you have identified which files need updating, you will then need to update each file individually.

For each file that needs updating, check whether or not you have edited or customized the installed version of that particular file. If you’re not sure, you can use an online tool such as diffchecker.com to compare the original version and the version on your server to check for any differences.

If you haven’t edited/customized the file in question, you can simply upload the new version of the file to the relevant location on your server, overwriting the existing file.

If you have edited/customized the file in question, you will need to either upload the new version of the file and re-apply any edits/customizations, or manually apply any changes in the new version to your existing edited/customized version of the file (see the release notes and changelog for details of file changes in the new version). Which method you choose will depend on the amount of changes in the new version of the file and how extensively you have edited/customized the original file. You will most likely want to choose the method which results in the least required work.

Tabs & sidebar options

WHMCS version 6.0 saw the introduction of client area sidebars to provide additional contextual menus, such as data-table filters, common actions and quick links to other relevant pages, throughout the client area.

Simplicity makes use Bootstrap’s inbuilt tabbed navigation functionality to present some of these menus in a more user friendly and intuitive manner. We’ve also incorporated bootstrap-tabdrop.js to improve the display of tabs on small screen sizes, for a completely responsive experience.

Prefer the default sidebars to tabs? Not a problem. Our theme options allow you to choose between tabs, sidebars or a combination of the two.

More information on client area sidebar menus (introduced in WHMCS version 6.0), including how to edit the menu content, can be found in the WHMCS documentation on the WHMCS website here.

If neither the primary or secondary sidebar is shown, the main content panel will automatically increase in size to use up the empty space.

Option 2.1: enable or disable primary tabs display

If primary tabs are enabled, the primary sidebar menus detailed in the table below will be displayed as a tabbed navigation menu, below the page title, instead of the default sidebar list menu.

On pages not listed above with primary sidebar menus, or if any of the pages listed above have additional primary sidebar items not included in the list, these will be displayed as sidebar items in the default style (unless the primary sidebar is disabled by option 2.1).

When tabs are enabled and there are no additional primary sidebar items, the primary sidebar will not be displayed.

This option applies to all screen sizes / devices and can be changed by editing line 63 in the theme-options.tpl file, specifying a value of either enabled or disabled for the variable itPrimaryTabs.

For example:

{assign var=itPrimaryTabs value="enabled" scope="global"}

or:

{assign var=itPrimaryTabs value="disabled" scope="global"}

If no value is specified, the default behaviour is disabled.

Option 2.2: enable or disable primary sidebar display

This option allows you to choose whether or not the client area primary sidebar is displayed throughout your website. If primary tabs are enabled (see option 2.1 above), the menus defined in the table above will be shown as tabbed menus, shown below the page title, rather than in the sidebar.

This option applies to all screen sizes / devices and can be changed by editing line 66 in the theme-options.tpl file, specifying a value of either enabled or disabled for the variable itPrimarySidebar.

For example:

{assign var=itPrimarySidebar value="enabled" scope="global"}

or:

{assign var=itPrimarySidebar value="disabled" scope="global"}

If no value is specified, the default behaviour is disabled.

Option 2.3: enable or disable secondary sidebar display

This option allows you to choose whether or not the client area secondary sidebar is displayed throughout your website.

If no value is specified, the default behaviour is disabled.

Resource minification options

The following options allow you to define whether minified or full versions of the main theme and order form template JavaScript and CSS files are loaded. We would always recommend using minified versions for day to day use, but it can be useful to useful to load the full versions for customization/testing purposes.

These options were introduced in Simplicity theme version 2.1.0.

Option 3.1: enable or disable use of minified CSS

You can enable to disable the use of minified CSS by editing line 74 of the theme-options.tpl file, specifying a value of either enabled or disabled for the variable itCSSMin.

This option can be configured by editing line 38 in the cart-options.tpl file, specifying a value of either enabled or disabled for the variable itCartProductsTabs.

For example:

{assign var=itCartProductsTabs value="enabled" scope="global"}

or:

{assign var=itCartProductsTabs value="disabled" scope="global"}

If no value is specified, the default behaviour is disabled.

Option 3.1: enable or disable currency chooser on all cart pages

This option allows you to choose whether or not the currency chooser button is shown at the bottom of relevant pages (when applicable). This is a useful alternative way of allowing users to change currency if you decide to disable the cart sidebar. This option can be configured by editing line 43 in the cart-options.tpl file, specifying a value of either enabled or disabled for the variable itCartCurrencyChooser.

For example:

{assign var=itCartCurrencyChooser value="enabled" scope="global"}

or:

{assign var=itCartCurrencyChooser value="disabled" scope="global"}

If no value is specified, the default behaviour is disabled.

Option 4.1: Configure the number of products shown per row on the view products page

This option allows you to choose the number of products shown per row on the view products page, choosing between 1 and 6 products per row.

This option can be changed by editing line 48 in the cart-options.tpl file, specifying a value of either 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 for the variable itCartNumberProductsPerRow.

For example:

{assign var=itCartNumberProductsPerRow value="1" scope="global"}

or:

{assign var=itCartNumberProductsPerRow value="2" scope="global"}

If no value is specified, the default behaviour is 1.

This option was introduced in Simplicity theme version 2.2.0.

Simplicity Slider order form template options

The Simplicity Slider order form template has its own cart-options.tpl file, however these options will only apply to the Simplicity Slider view products page. This is because Simplicity Slider is a child templates of the Simplicity Standard order form template, and all other cart pages are handled by the Simplicity Standard template.

Option 1.1: enable or disable sidebar display on order form / cart pages

This option allows you to choose whether or not the sidebar is displayed on all order form / cart pages. This option applies to large screen sizes / desktop devices and can be changed by editing line 24 in the cart-options.tpl file, specifying a value of either enabled or disabled for the variable itCartSidebarDisplay.

For example:

{assign var=itCartSidebarDisplay value="enabled" scope="global"}

or:

{assign var=itCartSidebarDisplay value="disabled" scope="global"}

If no value is specified, the default behaviour is disabled.

Option 1.2: enable or disable mobile friendly sidebar display on order form / cart pages

This option allows you to choose whether or not the sidebar is displayed on all order form / cart pages. This option applies to small screen sizes / mobile devices and can be changed by editing line 27 in the cart-options.tpl file, specifying a value of either enabled or disabled for the variable itCartSidebarMobileDisplay.

For example:

{assign var=itCartSidebarMobileDisplay value="enabled" scope="global"}

or:

{assign var=itCartSidebarMobileDisplay value="disabled" scope="global"}

If no value is specified, the default behaviour is disabled.

Option 2.1: specify page header text for view products and view addons pages

This option allows you to choose the text that is displayed as the main page header / title on the view products and view addons pages. This option can be configured by editing line 32 in the cart-options.tpl file, specifying a value of either default, category or custom for the variable itCartProductsHeaderText.

For example:

{assign var=itCartProductsHeaderText value="default" scope="global"}

or:

{assign var=itCartProductsHeaderText value="category" scope="global"}

or

{assign var=itCartProductsHeaderText value="custom" scope="global"}

If category is specified, the current product category will be displayed (as defined in wHMCS admin) for the view products page, and the text “Addons” for the view addons page. If custom is specified, you can define custom text to be used in option 2.2 (see below). If default is specified, or no value is specified, the default text will be used – the language variable {$LANG.navservicesorder} – by default in English this would equate to “Order New Services”.

Option 2.2: specify custom page header text for view products and view addons pages

If you have specified the value custom for option 2.1, this option allows you to specify the custom text to be used, by editing line 35 in the cart-options.tpl file and specifying a value for the variable itCartProductsHeaderCustomText.

For example:

{assign var=itCartProductsHeaderCustomText value="My Awesome Products" scope="global"}
