-- SUMMARY --

The registrar_api provides an interface to 3rd party domain registrars to
allow registration, renewal, and domain management through a Drupal
installation.

-- Registrar APIs --

Currently there is only support for Namecheap.com's (http://www.namecheap.com)
API. If you want support for another registrar, either implement a new .inc
file (using namecheap.inc as an example) and submit a patch or let me know
about the registrar and I'll look into it.

-- REQUIREMENTS --

Each registrar has different requirements in order to use their API and you'll
likely need to create an account with them and obtain an API key at the very
least.

-- INSTALLATION --

 * Install as usual.

-- CONFIGURATION --
 * Configure user permissions in Administer >> User management >>
   Permissions >> regisrar_api module:
   
   - register domains
    Users in this role can register domains
    
   - edit own domains
    Users can edit their own domain information
    
   - manage domains
    Users in this role can manage anyone's domain settings and renewals.
 
 * Configure the registrars API settings in Administer >> Settings >> Registrar API

-- CREATING DOMAINS --
 * Before creating a domain you should fill in the generic contact information
   on the user profile form My Account >> Edit >> Registrar Contact Info

 * The registrar_api front end adds a new node type called 'domain'. This will,
   by default, pull in the data entered on the users profile form and can be
   changed at the time of registration.
