This small Howto shows how you can add into the component further fields for the addressformular. This is only valid for the addressformular and not for the other sites. The way of proceeding becomes showed by means of a field for the customer number, but it can be under observation of references be used in any fields. The HTML-Code on step 3 has to be accordingly adaptable.

Create menu items for categories
To make use of the category feature of the Webhosting Component you have to create menu items of the type "Link". There you insert the URL of the component (without Itemid) and add the variable 'catid' to it.
Then the links looks like this:
index.php?option=com_webhosting&catid=5
You can get the catid from the Category Manager ("Plan Categories"). At the right site of the list there is a column with the title "Category ID".
Create a menu item for all plans
You can anyway create a menu item of the type 'Component'. On that page will be shown the following plans:
- all published plans without a category
- all published plans of a published category
So the plans of an unpublished category will not be shown on that menu item. But on a menu item for that category they will be shown! So you have the possibility to show the items of a category only on the category page.

To get the first insight into the functionality of the component it can be a big help to load the examplefiles. You can load it under Components / Webhosting / Examplefiles. With one click on it the spokenfile within the stored SQL-Code it becomes accomplished and the examplefiles will be load into the MySQL-database. As long as there wasn´t any errors you will be lead to the offering-site of the component and it appears a success message. The inserted offers, features and feature catagories can be matched as you desire or deleted again later.

To perform an upgrade of the webhosting component you have to uninstall the old version first. All data like plans, features and feature categories will be kept. But the configuration settings will not. So best you write them down before or keep them in mind.
After you have uninstalled the old version you can install the new one by simply using the component installer. If there where some changes in the database structur these will be made automatically.
