==Upgrade Steps==

To upgrade your WHMCS System, simply follow the instructions below.

#Begin by taking a backup of your database using a tool such as phpMyAdmin
#Next, unzip the contents of the WHMCS V4.3 zip file download to a folder on your computer
#Remove the /images/logo.jpg file to avoid overwriting your customised logo
#Upload the files to your existing installation folder overwriting any existing files
#Visit the admin area as you normally would to login and you should then see the upgrade script
#Accept the license agreement
#Confirm you have backed up your database and click the upgrade button
#Once the updates complete, delete the install folder from your server
#The upgrade is now complete but remember to update your custom template with any new or changed template files as listed below

==Template Changes==

The following is a list of client area template files that have changed in this release.

*'''announcements.tpl''' (default template only - fixed twitter link)
*'''clientareahome.tpl''' (added support for addon output from hooks/modules)
*'''clientareacreditcard.tpl''' (disabled auto complete for cc fields)
*'''clientareadomaindns.tpl''' (added support for LogicBoxes remote DNS Record Interface)
*'''clientareadomainemailforwarding.tpl''' (same as above)
*'''creditcard.tpl''' (disabled auto complete for cc fields)

The following order form template files have also changed:

*'''viewcart.tpl''' (disabled auto complete for cc fields)

With the implementation of multi-language support for the admin area, nearly all the admin area templates have changed so we recommend a full replacement of the /admin/templates/ folder and files.

==Points Of Note==

*'''New Addon Modules System''' - Firstly, don't worry - all existing "admin" modules are backwards compatable with the new addon modules system so they aren't going to break or stop workingas a result of the upgrade. However, the new addon modules system will require you to '''activate''' any existing addon modules you use before they show up. This can be done in '''Setup > Addon Modules''' by full administrator level users, and we have created a brief video tutorial to demonstrate the new addon modules system management area and walk you through how to do this @ www.whmcs.com/tutorials.php?i=addonmodules

*'''Admin Area Template Updates''' - The admin area has had a new menu system implemented and so if you experience any display issues after upgrading, double check you've refreshed your browser cache for the new CSS definitions to take effect (either perform a hard refresh or clear your cache)
