WHMCS 8.0 and later
We replaced this system theme with [New_Twenty_One_Client_Area_Theme the new Twenty-One system theme] in WHMCS 8.0 and later. We plan to remove Six in a future release. The information below applies to the time period immediately after the release of Six.
Introducing Six
WHMCS 6 introduced a new client area system theme. It's fully responsive, has a modern, clean new look, works on both desktop and mobile, and has more functionality than ever.
Order Form Templates
Order Form templates are our next target. A little while ago, we embarked on a project to design a number of new order form templates, and we got a long way into it, with some great new designs, but we ran into a problem. First, we needed a client area that was based on the latest technologies, and was responsive - but 6.0 takes care of that.
However, the client area system theme update presented a challenge for the existing order form templates. Updating them to require the assets and resources available to the new system theme in WHMCS 6.0 would have created a problem for any custom client area system themes not based on the new 6.0 design. As well, investing time in updating those, would take time away from other things, such as delivering entirely new order form templates.
The result in the end has been that we've consolidated our order form template offerings, discontinuing some in preparation for replacements, with Modern and Boxes being the two order form templates that are updated to take full advantage of the new 6.0 client area system theme.
The other order form templates remain as they existed previously in WHMCS 5.x, and will continue to work with older custom client area system themes.
Both of these order form templates now require the latest version of Bootstrap to be loaded via your client area system theme to display as intended. The Six client area system theme does this by default. To use these in conjunction with custom themes and templates, your custom theme will need to include the Bootstrap CSS framework.
Older Themes
For older client area system themes, which do not have Bootstrap available, we recommend using one of the other order form templates. Similarly, for the new Six theme and custom themes that do include Bootstrap, we recommend using one of the two order forms that we have updated, above.
We will be releasing several new order form styles that take full advantage of the new client area system theme over the coming weeks and months.
