Wouldn't it be possible to use a PHP include to import the specific page from WHMCS into the actual Joomla content area (assuming both accounts are on the same server)? I'm pretty sure WHMCS has variables to use for this exact reason and I've seen some pretty customized integrations from a few companies around the forum.

yup i was thinking the same thing, i wanted to learn to do it myself and i know it has been a talked about subject around the net.. now my problem is i lack the skill to get it done :) i'm aware that there is a J!WHMCS plugin out there.. but i'd rather run WHMCS on its own.. bridging with Joomla will just slow things down

If you're worried about slowing things down, I would just customize the header.tpl and footer.tpl file in WHMCS templates using the header you are using on the Joomla frontend, should be able to blend things in fairly nicely with a little work. You'd then have the same links in the header/footer but not include Joomla at all during this process.

thanks i would like to do that... i'm still trying to figure out what exact code to take from my joomla header/footer over to whmcs... would you have any approximation? i could then need to add an include function in whmcs correct? many thanks
