15. Administering Installatron installations
This demo assumes you've already logged in to Direct Admin
Now let's learn how to manage the Installatron installations in our reseller plan
1) Click the Installatron Administration link
2) Click the Edit Script Groups link here
This is the main administration page for Installatron
Installatron is an auto-installer program, that allows your customers to install dozens of free scripts and programs, with just a few clicks
Let's take a look at the administration options available to us
3) There are currently no script groups created..... so let's go ahead and create one
From here we can create a script group, which will allow us to allow certain customers access to only a specific selection of scripts in Installatron
This is useful if you want to be able to charge a fee for making certain scripts available to your customers, or if you want to make certain scripts only available to customers that have your largest hosting plan, etc.
4) Enter a name for this new script group
5) Let's assign this script group to all customers having the Bronze package..... click here
We can setup this new script group so it's available to specific users.....
..... or available to customers who have the same account package
Scroll down...
6) Let's make a custom list of available scripts..... click here
7) We now must choose which scripts are to be available to these customers..... choices are all scripts, no scripts, or a custom selection
8) Then choose the scripts you want to make available
Scroll down...
9) When finished, click the Save button
10) Let's return to the Installatron Administration page
That's it! We've successfully created a new script group, which is listed here on the script group page
11) Clicking the Build Lists link will rebuild your installer list files
12) Now let's click here to View Install Overview
13) Let's return to the main administration page..... click here
This page lists all the installations of Installatron scripts in all accounts in your reseller plan
Scroll down...
The Upgrade Email Notification tool is useful in that it allows you to automatically notify customers of the availability of new versions of their Installatron scripts
14) When finished click the Save button
Message of the Day allows you to include a message at the top of your customer's main Installatron page
If List Builder is enabled, installer list files will be created, and can be incorporated into your websites to advertise the scripts available through Installatron
This is the end of the tutorial. You now know how to manage Installatron installations in your reseller plan, and how to create custom script groups making only certain Installatron scripts available to certain customers
