F.A.Q (Frequently Asked Questions)

How Do I Find My Product Key?
If you are using the none commercial version, in your admin area, click 'Purchase' on the top menu to view your product key.

If you don't see this link, access the following link in your admin area: admin/index.php?p=purchase
I've forgot my admin login details. Can I reset them?
Login details are set in the 'control/_cfg.php' file. Just change there.
Do I need any software on the server to run Maian Cube?
See the system requirements for what is required to run this software.
Can I edit any template files and change colours etc?
Yes, you can change anything in the free or commercial version.
Does Maian Cube support the 'ioncube_server_data' API?
No, this is not something Maian Cube has any benefit in using as the data returned by the API would always be the same. If you need to use this you should use it within your own encoded applications to gather data about the server where the application is installed and then send any relevant data to the Maian Cube installation. This would ensure that data sent from the target server is always relevant to where your buyers have your application installed.
For the API, can I log incoming POST data?
Yes, enable the 'API_LOG_POST' option in the 'control/options.php' file. Api Key is not logged for security.
Is there a reseller licence?
Yes, more information here.
How does the WYSIWYG editor work?

No emails are being sent, why?
Check your server error logs first. You should also enable SMTP debugging to help debug mail issues if using SMTP. To enable, open the 'control/options.php' and set the following value to 1.

define('MAIL_DEBUG', 0);
The log should be written to the "logs" folder.

If you are having issues sending email over SSL, this is nothing to do with this software or the mail system used by this software. Most likely your server's SSL is installed incorrectly. If you have issues, you can disable SSL checking in your mail settings (in favour of always allowing insecure connections). Whilst this is a workaround, it is NOT recommended.
Do I need to purchase ionCube?
Yes, you need to purchase the Pro or Cerberus version of ionCube.
Can I change the text in the software and add my own wording?
Yes, of course, see the language section.
Can I add additional files to the zip files?
Yes, add files to the "content/zip" folder.
Can I edit the PHP files?
If you feel you need to and know what you are doing. Note that PHP changes can break when the system is upgraded.
Can I change the X-Mailer header that gets sent out in emails?
Yes, via the 'control/options.php' file. Set a value in the 'MAIL_X_MAIL_HEADER' option.
Can I rename the log folder txt files?
Yes, via the 'control/options.php' file.
Can I use multiple languages at the same time?
This isn't supported, sorry.
Can I integrate the layout into my own site design?
Yes, by editing the template. See the templates section via the left hand menu.
How secure is Maian Cube in using the PHP command line function shell_exec?
About as secure as it can be. Where applicable, PHP functions "escapeshellarg" & "escapeshellcmd" are used to prevent issues with harmful meta characters. Regex patterns are also allowed for validaton checking on domain,ip,mac fields and any property field where user input is required.
Can I remove the version check link in the admin area?
Yes, via the 'control/options.php' file.

NOTE: The version check option sends ONLY the version number and script ID to the Maian Media servers for version comparison. No user identifiable information or information relating to your setup is sent.
Can I remove the documentation link in the admin area?
Yes, via the 'control/options.php' file.
Can I remove the Maian Cube links in emails?
No, this will disappear when a commercial licence is applied.
How much do I have to pay for upgrades?
Nothing, all upgrades are FREE.
Ok, I've purchased a licence. What do I do now?
Firstly, go to the Maian Media Licence Centre and log in with the username/password sent to you in the email you received after purchase. If you didn't receive this email, please contact us via the Maian Cube website.

Once you have logged in, use the options provided to generate your licence. Your new licence file will be included in a zip file along with a readme file. You should replace the default .lic file with your new one. This will unlock the free feature restrictions.
The shell_exec function is disabled on my server, is there an alternative?
No, sorry. This command line function is required for command line functions.
Can you recommend a good web host?
There are lots of good web hosting companies around. Try a search on Google. Read what other people say.
What is Twitter Bootstrap?
Its a frontend/mobile design framework. More information on their website here.
Can I get a discount for Maian Cube, I'm broke?
Regular monthly discount coupons are emailed to subscribers of my newsletter. It's an infrequent newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Can I show more latest products / licenses on account homescreen?
Yes, this is editable in your admin area. From the left menu click "Accounts > Account Dashboard".
Can I increase the amount of latest accounts and licenses on admin homescreen?
Yes, edit the 'HOME_LATEST_LICENSES' & 'HOME_LATEST_ACCOUNTS' options in the 'control/options.php' file and set higher values.
