02 Jul 10 Integrating the Storefront features with your website
If you already have a website entertaining your existing clients, Gossimer even allows you to integrate the essential Storefront features with your website, enabling your Customers and Sub-resellers to access all your products and services via your website.
All you have to do is copy the script for the feature that you wish to integrate, and paste it to your site. The major features that you would wish to integrate are listed here.
You can integrate Customer Login as well as Reseller Login with your website. You need to put in the following code to integrate the Login with your Website –
action=_quot;https://www.foundationapi.com/servlet/AuthenticationServlet_quot; name=”LoginForm”>
<input type=”hidden” name=”redirectpage” value=”null”>
<input type=”hidden” name=”currenturl” value=”http://<Your Branded URL>“>
<input type=”hidden” name=”pid” value=”<Your Reseller Id>“>
<input type=”text” name=”username” value=”" size=”30″>
<input type=”password” name=”password” size=”30″>
<input type=”hidden” name=”role” value=”<role>“>
<input type=”submit” value=”Login” class=”submit”> </form>
<Your Reseller Id> - You can get your Reseller Id from your Control Panel by going to Settings -> Personal Information -> Primary Profile. Here the first field is the Reseller Id, the value of which you need to put in here.
<role> - If you are integrating Reseller Login, then you need to put in role as Reseller and if you want Customer Login, then put the role as Customer.
Integrating New Domain Purchase [Check Availability] Tool with your website
The steps for buying a New Domain Name are as follows:
1. Checking Domain Availability
2. Filling the Domain Order Form
3. Payment Process
4. Actual Registration
Of these steps, you can choose to have the Check Availability box at your end on your website or on the Reseller Storefront Server.
In order to directly link to the Check Availability page use the link below -
http://<#YOUR BRANDED URL#>/servlet/CheckAvailabilityServlet?actionkey=add
Replace <#YOUR BRANDED URL#> in the above URL with your Branded URL, which you can find at Settings -> Storefront & Control Panel -> URL, in your Reseller Control Panel. This will bring up the Check Availability box from where any of your Customers can start placing an Order for a Domain Name.
If, however, you wish to have the Check Availability box on your server as a part of your website, you can use either of the Check Availability form codes given below.
<form name=”ChkAvailForm” action=_quot;http://<#YOUR BRANDED URL#>/servlet/CheckAvailabilityServlet” method=”get”><br>
<input type=hidden name=”suggestalternatives” value=”true”><br>
<input type=hidden name=”validatenow” value=”true”><br>
<input type=hidden name=”actionkey” value=_quot;add_quot;_gt;_lt;br_gt;

<input type=”submit” value=”Check”><br>
</form>
Integrating the Domain Name Transfer Link with your website
If any Customer of yours wishes to Transfer their Domain Name from their Current Registrar to us, you can simply point them to the below link or you can have this link on your Website. Replace <#YOUR BRANDED URL#> WITH Your Branded URL [in your Reseller Control Panel go to Settings -> Branding -> Storefront & Control Panel -> URL]:
http://<#YOUR BRANDED URL#>/servlet/CheckAvailabilityServlet?&actionkey=transfer.
Integrating the Whois Lookup tool on your website
You can integrate the Whois Lookup into your website in two ways:
In order to directly link to the Whois Lookup page use the link below. Replace <#YOUR BRANDED URL#> WITH Your Branded URL, available at Settings -> Storefront & Control Panel -> URL, in your Reseller Control Panel.
http://<#YOUR BRANDED URL#>/whois?
If however you wish to have the Whois Lookup box on your server as a part of your website, you can use the Whois Form code given below. Substitute <#YOUR BRANDED URL#> with your Branded URL.
<form name=”WhoisForm” action=_quot; http:// <#your BRANDED URL#>/servlet/WhoisServlet” method=”get”>
<input name=”domainname” value=”">
<br>
<input type=”submit” value=”Whois Lookup”>
</form>
The StoreFront is now DEPRECATED and will be removed shortly. All Resellers are encouraged to stop using the Storefront and begin using the new powerful SuperSite and PartnerSite.

29 Jun 10 Integrate your Website’s Domain Name Registration/Transfer Form with the SuperSite
If you have a website catering to several other products/services (than those offered by Gossimer) and wish to target Customers/Sub-Resellers from your website itself (rather than using your SuperSite as your website), then you may want to include the following domain registration forms on your website:
Integrating Domain Name Check Availability form on your website with the SuperSite
The steps for buying a New Domain Name are as follows:
1. Checking Domain Availability
2. Filling the Domain Order Form
3. Payment Process
4. Actual Registration
Of these steps, you can choose to have the Check Availability box at your end on your website. In order to directly link to the Check Availability page on your SuperSite, use the link below -
http://<#SuperSite URL#>/domain.php
This will bring up the Check Availability box from where any of your Customers can start placing an order for a Domain Name.
If, however, you wish to have the Check Availability box on your server as a part of your website, you can use the Check Availability form given below.
<form name=lookup method=”post” action=_quot;http://<#SuperSite URL#>/domain.php?goto=metarefresh&formaction=domain.php“>
<input type=”hidden” name=”action” value=_quot;check_availability_quot;_gt;
<input type=”hidden” name=”showrelated” value=”true”>

</form>
Replace <#SuperSite URL#> with your Branded SuperSite URL, which you can find at Settings -> SuperSite & PartnerSite -> URL, in your Reseller Control Panel.
The code listed in red in the above form is optional. Setting the value for the showrelated variable to true will display availability of the same Domain Name under other extensions. By default (without the code being used), the value is set to true. You may choose not to display this information by setting the value to false. However, it is advised that the value be set to true so that your SuperSite presents more buying options to the user.
Other attributes that can be used are -
- shownotavail – indicates non-available Domain Names
- showinvalid – indicates invalid Domain Names
- showunknown – displays the check availability status for a Domain Name as unknown in case connection to the corresponding Registry could not be established
It is advised that the value for these variables be set to true so that proper messages are displayed to the user.
Integrating Domain Name Transfer form on your website with the SuperSite
You may use the example form provided below, to integrate the Domain Name transfer functionality of your SuperSite, with your website:
<input type=”hidden” name=”action” value=_quot;domain_transfer_summary_quot;_gt;
<input type=”hidden” name=”nextstep” value=”true”>
