Header and Footer

The Instant Reseller System uses the html of your web site to create a seamless integration of your site to the Instant Reseller domain registration engine.

Your html is split into two parts, part one being the header, and part two being the footer.
Splitting the html allows your Instant Reseller content to be placed precisely where you want it to show up.

Let's just say that your page is one basic table with three rows, one row is for your logo, the second row is for your content, and the third row is for your footer links.

Example "B" takes that code and splits it into a header and footer by selecting the <td> before where you want the IR content to reside. (See red code in example "B").

This code will become the header after it is placed into the management section of your Reseller system.

Example "C" uses the </td> to close the table row and the Instant Reseller will place content above this tag.

This code will become the footer after it is placed into the management section of your Reseller system.

Example "D" shows where the Instant Reseller content will appear.

Please note:
The IR system uses a secure server (https) to secure the transaction process. Your html will need to have the following in place to ensure an error free domain registration for your customer:

• Links to pages within your site will need absolute values:
  • http://www.mydomain.com/link.html
  • https://www.mydomain.com/link.html
  • normally links that reside in the same server will have a relative value such as, ../link.html. Relative values will not go to the pages intended
• Images will need to have secured absolute values to avoid the error message "This page contains both secure and non-secure items! Do you want to view non-secure items?"
  The link should look similar to this:
  "https://www.mydomain.com/images/mylogo.gif"

We regretfully do not offer secure image hosting at this time.

• .fieldtext controls text in fields.
• .notavailable controls text for domains that aren't availabe.

Example "B" shows how this default style sheet can be edited or expanded upon to add additional fuctionality.
Your style sheet can be added to the bottom of the default style sheet as well as being edited for your site.

• a.shead controls look of important links on the site.

You can also add to the style sheet by linking to an absolute secured style sheet that your are using on your existing site:

Links

The IR system uses an address that allows your customers access to your resellers system through links that typically look like this:
https://secure.registerapi.com/resell.php?goto=register&siteid=0000

This address has two standard parts:

• The link to the Reseller System:
  https://secure.registerapi.com/resell.php?goto=register&
• Site ID
  siteid=0000
• Your site ID will be provide to you in the Management section.

The Link supplies the domain registration engine, and the site ID tells the engine what header, footer, stylesheet, and product offering that should be loaded.

The site ID will be provided in the management section of your reseller system.

Frame

Frames will allow IR users to mask the url that would normally appear in the address bar during the registration process.

Example "A" calls the main.htm page that would typically be index page of your site. This page will show up inside of this frame.

Every link will from this point should show up inside of this frame, this hiding the url, and locking it on http://www.mydomain.com. This code has been tested in all browsers with success!
