If you are wondering where the domain name registrar function buttons such as Register, Renew and Transfer in the admin area have disappeared to in WHMCS 4.41 then take a look at the permissions for the administrator role that your account belongs to. It seems that WHMCS v4.41 added a new permission to control the use of these domain name registrar module function buttons from the admin panel called “Perform Registrar Operations“. As usual, this change is not reflected anywhere in the release notes for version 4.41.

Sunday, December 19th, 2010Nominet Automaton bulk modify
Friday, April 2nd, 2010The bulk modify feature of the Nominet Automaton can be a real time saver when you need to update a load of domains in one go.
For example, I just used it to add a tertiary name server to a load of domains under the FREETHOUGHT tag. To make sure that I only updated domains using the Freethought nameservers, I put a filter on the bulk update:
operation: bulk
filter: ‘primary.freethought-dns.co.uk’ in nservers
update: nservers = [ 'primary.freethought-dns.co.uk', 'secondary.freethought-dns.co.uk', 'tertiary.freethought-dns.co.uk' ]
Nominet have some quite useful documentation along with several examples of the various update commands and filters available to control each of the different Automaton fields available on their web-site at http://www.nominet.org.uk/registrars/systems/auto/bulkmodify/
