Getting Started

Sample Module

The Email notification module that ships with WHMCS is not encoded so the source code is viewable. We recommend using this as a starting point for a custom module. This module can be found in the /modules/notifications/Email directory.

Choosing a Name

Notification Modules are stored in the /modules/notifications/ directory.

Each module has its own subdirectory within which all files relating to that module should be stored.

At its simplest, a notification module is a PHP file containing a class that implements the NotificationModuleInterface.

To get started creating a new notification module, follow the steps below.

  1. Choose a name for your module. Module names should be a single word, consisting of only letters and numbers. Names must begin with a letter, and must be unique.
  2. Create a new directory using your desired module name.
  3. Create a new file within the directory with the filename Yourmodulename.php
  4. Add the following code to the file, replacing all instances of Yourmodulename with the name of your module as appropriate.
<?php

namespace WHMCS\Module\Notification\Yourmodulename;

use WHMCS\Module\Contracts\NotificationModuleInterface;

/**
 * Yourmodulename
 *
 * @copyright Copyright (c) WHMCS Limited 2005-2017
 * @license http://www.example.com/
 */
class Yourmodulename implements NotificationModuleInterface
{
}
