What Is PhpCoin?

package is for small to medium sized businesses & web host resellers to
present information to a potential (or existing) client via misc content,
provide an interface for collecting client and order information, direct the
client to a "pay link" for billing, and provide a means to monitor these
items. The primary goal is to provide an integrated environment in which a
client or admin can perform the desired tasks within a single interface.
The phpCOIN package can assist you in the following:
PhpCoin Site Content- create and manage site information for easy
display for potential and existing clients. The content is searchable with
the "Search" module.

client information during order process, and provide a single "paylink" at
the end of the process to direct the client to third party billing. Search
orders feature available.

services in either a one-shot invoice, or as a recurring invoice. Search

ticket system. Search trouble tickets feature available.

system or contact forms) and for the admin to contact the clients.
Site or Addon: Making It Fit
The PhpCoin package is designed to operate as a standalone application (own
domain) or as an addon to an existing domain (subdirectory). The following
items are supported to make the installation as flexible as possible:
PhpCoin Theme Support- the PhpCoin package is designed to work with
"themes" or "skins" that can be developed by the end user, or in some cases
by others with a bit more artistic ability. In general- all fonts and color
characteristics are defined in style sheets (entire application via styles).
The button images and addional layout items can all be included in the
specific them.
PhpCoin Language File Support- the package incorporates a language
file system in that NO text exists within the code that is not editable
within the language files. If a desired language translation does not exist,
one can translate by simply editing the proper language files.
PhpCoin Localization- the package incorporates some localization
settings such as currency prefix / suffix, number formatting, locale
selection and format strings for date / time display.
PhpCoin Wrapper Enabled- and for those who have standard header and
footer files for their sites, the package supports html type files for
"wrapping" around the phpCOIN content. This feature can be easily turned
off/on as desired.
Flip of the Switch- the package has "many" configuration options for showing
/ hiding items, adjusting layout, optional viewing items, etc. that are
mostly handled by a simple "flip of a config switch".
PhpCoin Content:
The PhpCoin package provides several methods of creating and presenting
various site content to current / future clients. The built-in items one can
use:
AuxPages- the PhpCoin package provides a content module called "Auxpages"
which permits the admin to load single coded pages into the system by simply
creating the page and calling accordingly. This feature is to provide
capability more advanced than the standard "Pages" or "SiteInfo" content.
FAQ- the PhpCoin package provides a basic "FAQ" module which permits the
admin to create from the browser interface, "Frequently Asked Questions"
content for the site. Multiple FAQ's with questions/answers can be created.
In addition, the "FAQ" can be assigned to be viewed by all visitors,
existing clients, or admins only and can features on/off for each item to
permit "work in progress". The FAQ content is included in the "Search"
content options.
PhpCoin Menu System- the PhpCoin package provide top menu, and

for each button. In addition, left/right menu columns are also available for
additional menu functions.

"Pages" which permits the admin to create from the browser interface,
content for the site. The content can be in the form of plain text, or
common html with images, tables, etc. The "Pages" feature also includes
footer menu navigation options for "flowing" documentation (prev / main /
next buttons are configurable for each page). The Pages content is included
in the "Search" content options.
PhpCoin Site Info- the PhpCoin package provides a content module
called "Site Info" which permits the admin to create from the browser
interface, content for the site. The content can be in the form of plain

information items: policies, about, main index, announcement, etc. and
offers an on/off "Return" footer menu.
