Customizing the Subscription process
The subscription and the customer support pages are (or can be) visible from your
customers. All files with extension .html are HTML templates. You can edit every HTML page
in the directories
\Rodopi\olsplus
and
\Rodopi\olsplus-cgi
You can NOT use Front Page or other web-editing tool, because this can corrupt
the HTML template or the JavaScript code in these pages. Use simple text editor like
notepad.exe. Make backup of the HTML page before changing it so you can restore if
anything is wrong.
The only page that you have to change is the page:
Confirmation.html
in the olsplus-cgi directory. There you can put your ISP specific information like:
Link to Service Agreement.
Your server addresses (DNS, mail, news and others).
Customer support number.
Billing support number.
Dial-in Numbers.
DISCLAIMER.
etc
When you subscribe a customer you can send him/her this page by fax or mail. If the
customer subscribes online he/she will see this information.
Here is a list of the customer subscription pages with their locations and filenames, and
with the help HTML pages that you need to edit.
- Customer Info - /olsplus/CustomerData.html
Help page - /olsplus/CustomerInfoHelp.html
This is the first form which gathers information about a customer. All fields are
self-explanatory. The phone fields accept only digits. Note that the fields for the first
and last names, the street address, city name, state abbreviation and the ZIP code are
required fields, so the customer should not leave them blank. Also one of the two phones
(home or business) is required. Note that the customers should enter area code as well.
- Service Plans - /olsplus-cgi/ChoosePlan.html
Help page - /olsplus/ServicePlansHelp.html
On this page the customer can select the type of service and type of account he or she
wants.
Here the customer selects one ore more service plans. He or she can get a longer
description for each plan by selecting it in the list box and clicking the question mark
button. This will display a window with a description field which you have specified for
the Plan Info (see the Plan Info description).
The customer can also select a billing period. Also the customer may enter a promotion
code if he or she has one, by clicking the Add Promotion button. One can choose as
many plans as he or she wants, but can add only one promotion.

Here the customer have to fill information about plans he has chosen from
the previous section. This information is validated and if not correct the
same page will show error messages.
