Parameter Examples

Example of using multiple parameters in a shortcode:

Lets say you want to set the form button text with "Find", purchase domain text with "Buy Now" and input field place holder as "Domain Name Here". So just add "purchase_btn_name", "button" and "search_pholder" parameters to the shortcode like this:
[dominion_shortcodes_domain_search_1 button_label="Search" purchase_btn_name="Buy Now" search_pholder="Domain Name Here"]

List of All Parameters are given here.

WHMCS integration is too easy with Dominion. All you need to do is just put an URL in Purchase Button Field. If you have your WHMCS installed in your server, you will have a domain purchase url like this YOUR_SITES_WHMCS_PAGE/cart.php?a=add&domain=register&query=. You just need to put that url in the given field of the shortcode.

If you need to allow the users to search for only specific TLDs, you can do so by inputting only those TLDs in the drop-down field given in the Shortcode.

How to translate the Dominion plugin in my native language?

You need a free software to translate the plugin's all English text in your language. The software name is Poedit. The Poedit is a common program which you can use to translate the plugin. It's available for free on poedit.net.

After you have installed Poedit in your computer, you can open it and select File > Open. Then select the dominion.pot file from the plugin you wish to translate which you can find in the /languages/ folder of Dominion plugin.

Then go through every line of text and translate it to your native language. Afterwards go to "File > Save as" to save the catalog with your language code (for example "dominion-es_ES.po" for Spanish language). Poedit automatically creates a new file "dominion-es_ES.mo" and saves it, too.

After that upload those language files (.po and .mo files you just created) to wp-content/languages/plugins folder using FTP or Cpanel. That's it.

Why is my form does not display in full section?

You may find your form section is not displayed in full section, that can happen when there are empty parameters in your shortcode and that's why you are finding only those elements which are not empty (ie, button_label). The parameters you can use in the shortcode are given here. Some of them are important to get the form's view like our demo. Those important parameters are:
title [Used for Title/Heading of the section. For example: title="Find Your Domain Name"]
sub_title [Used for sub heading of the section.]
text [Used for text below the title/sub-title.]
domain [Used for inputting Domain TLDs. Value of this parameter can be any domain tlds like .com, .net etc. And each should be placed in new line, like this:domain = ".com .org .net"]
padding [Used for controlling section padding. For example: padding="5px 8px 2px 10px"]
margin [Used for controlling section margin. For example: margin="5px 8px 2px 10px"]

So, if you add the above parameters with values, your domain checker form should be displayed in full section like our live demo.
