WHMCS Templates Orbit - How to upgrade from V1.1 to V1.2

In this tutorial you will learn how to update your Orbit WHMCS template from V1.1 to V1.2.

First login to your account and go to My Account (top right) > My Products > downloads and download WHMCS template - Orbit v1-1 to V1-2 update.zip, extract it to your desktop.

1) Add new mini-settings

Open /templates/orbit-v1-1/header.tpl, copy and paste the following to the top of this file (above the doctype):

{* ------- Settings area ------- *}

{* General *}

{assign var="multilanguage" value="off"}

{* Home *}

{assign var="home_highlight" value="2"}

{* Wizard Panel pages *}

{assign var="custom1_highlight" value="3"}
{assign var="custom1_fullcomparison" value="off"}

{assign var="custom2_highlight" value="5"}
{assign var="custom2_fullcomparison" value="on"}

{assign var="custom3_highlight" value="2"}
{assign var="custom3_fullcomparison" value="on"}

{assign var="custom4_highlight" value="4"}
{assign var="custom4_fullcomparison" value="on"}

{assign var="custom5_highlight" value="2"}
{assign var="custom5_fullcomparison" value="on"}

{assign var="custom6_highlight" value="3"}
{assign var="custom6_fullcomparison" value="on"}

{assign var="custom7_highlight" value="5"}
{assign var="custom7_fullcomparison" value="on"}

{assign var="custom8_highlight" value="2"}
{assign var="custom8_fullcomparison" value="on"}

{assign var="custom9_highlight" value="2"}
{assign var="custom9_fullcomparison" value="on"}

{assign var="custom10_highlight" value="1"}
{assign var="custom10_fullcomparison" value="on"}

Once step 2 & 3 are finished the above settings allow you to control the highlight box and comparison buttons on all hosting pages.

2) Apply simple edit

Open /templates/orbit-v1-1/header.tpl and line the following line:

{include file="$template/includes/feature-boxes.tpl"}

And replace with the following:

{if $multilanguage eq "on"} {* This line loads the features boxes content (3 - 6 plan boxes) *}
{include file="$template/includes/feature-boxes-lang.tpl"}
{else}
{include file="$template/includes/feature-boxes.tpl"}
{/if}

3) Upload the modified files

The last step is to upload the contents of the upload directory to your WHMCS template directory overriding all files. These modified files will add the new functionality instantly.

Before uploading ensure you haven't made any edits to the following files, if you have they will need to be re-done but 99% of users wouldn't have modified these files.
