.. _Introduction:

Introduction
------------


.. _What-does-it-do:

What does it do?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This extension provides a small frontend plugin with a form. The
visitor may choose from a predefined list of top level domains, type
in a domain name and will get a message if the domain is still
available for registration.

The layout of the form can be changed by stylesheet definitions. All
messages support TYPO3's language model. The whois servers as well as
the top level domains which are available for the query may be defined
in an external file.

Screenshots
^^^^^^^^^^^

Is your domain still available?

.. _Adminstration:

Adminstration
-------------

Just install the extension like any other. You will be asked if you
want to use a different whois server definition file. That file
contains an array defining the toplevel domains you want to make
available for the queries. Additionally it contains information about
the whois servers and the messages they return if a domain was not
found in the database.

See the file whois\_servers.php in the extension's pi1/ directory for
a working example. You may copy that file to a different location and
set the whoisServerFile property accordingly.

.. _Layout:

Layout
------

You may take influence on the layout by defining your own stylesheet
definitions. This extension does not yet support TYPO3's css editor.

See the following HTML code this extension creates. You'll find all
the CSS classes you need:
