  1. app_model.php hotfix-php7 encoded as type [1/56]

    in Bugs

    Posted 

    Installed Blesta 4.0 on nginx, php-7.1
Installed ioncube_loader_lin_7.1.so
After applying hotfix-php7, I cleared the nginx error logs and refreshed browser, then tailed the log:
    #]tail -50f /var/log/nginx/error.log 
[error] 23279#0: *18 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Fatal error:  The file /usr/share/nginx/html/blesta/app/app_model.php encoded as type [1/56] cannot be decoded by this version of the ionCube Loader.

  3. Namesilo Plugin

    in Feature Requests

    Posted

    We don't have an ego on the matter, I'd like to support all the different domain registrars. We have limited resources though, so we are attempting to put them to the best possible use by developing the most highly requested features first.

     

    An argument can be made that not many people have requested NameSilo because of the fact that we don't offer it, and doing so would open up the market. I talk a lot about widening the funnel for Blesta. Offering more integrations widens the funnel, and increases our market reach. So yes, NameSilo would be great.

     

    Right now we have been focusing largely on core features. Shoring up the core, so that we can focus more of our efforts on extensions in future releases. Pro forma invoices, pro rata, price overrides (all part of 3.3) are considered by many to be critical features. Only we can work on the core, but other developers can build extensions to integrate with an endless number of 3rd party services and APIs.

     

    We are also working on a domain registrar plugin, that will allow for simpler set up of domain TLDs and pricing, and consolidate many of the features of domain registrars to make module development for registrars simpler going forward. It's difficult to take time away from highly requested features, to build a registrar module a few people want, that we'll have to rewrite later anyway to make it work well with the domain registrar plugin.

     

    So, we hear ya. We know we need more integrations like NameSilo, and we aren't saying no. We just have to prioritize, and it's a difficult thing when we have so many great feature and extension requests. The community has had a large impact in the direction of development since our initial alpha releases, and we consider that dialogue of vital importance.

     

    Would you consider opending up a plugin/module marketplace like Opencart?   I think that business model would really help.  Let othe developers pitch in and sell their software, and you take a small percentage from each sale.   Blesta get's extendability while you focus on the core product.

     

    Opencart has a neat way of adding some of the marketplace plugins to the core product. I'm not sure how they swing that in the agreements with the developers. It's something to consider at least.

    Well, I'm a business analyst and not a developer. But a simple plugin would increase your customer base and provide more resources in the form of sales.  If 70% is devoted to software development and 30% is devoted to business development, Blesta would experience greater gains.

     

    If you think I'm wrong, based on this forum alone and your passion for the product alone then so be it. I think Blesta has great upside so I hope you guys know I've no been arguing against it. I've been arguing for Blesta and it's success. Passion can sometime be blinding. 

     

    Well, once a Namesilo plugin is available you'll in a single instant get 3 more paying customers (I think I saw two from another post) once the availability is known and there isn't already a significant investment in another platform.  (FYI, Namesilo is one of the fastest growing registrars so it will benefit Blesta:  http://www.prweb.com/releases/2014/01/prweb11497507.htm)

     

    Good luck!

    This may be true that they are lazy in developing a blesta module.  However, the plugin benefits Blesta more than Namesilo.   I don't foresee any Namesilo members choosing Blesta over Namesilo.  In the end, Namesilo members will be forced to other hosting applications. 

     

    Remember, people don't buy hosting applications and then see which domain registrars are available. It works the other way around. Those who are members of domain registrars look to see which hosting platform is available for them. Therefore, Blesta's growth depends on which providers are supported, but domain registrars aren't dependent on which hosting platform supports them.  People get domains first.

     

    Not too long ago a Clientexec plugin popped up on Namesilo. So that will leave Blesta out of the mix.  I have a Hostbill and WHMCS license. However, development is more open on Blesta (for which I have use for custom plugins I want developed).  However, if  I cannot , why would I consider Blesta over the others?

     

    I do hope a Namesilo plugin is developed though. I'd like to invest in Blesta because of it's openess in which I can have customization. Because of this, I would invest in Blesta for a long term.

     

    My suggestion would be: If it's sooo simple to develop a Namesilo plugin, Blesta should just lose the ego and take the small amount of time to get it done, an done well to start capturing more sales, which would help in further development and growth.  A simple business logic, from a Business Analyst.

     

    Just food for thought.

    have you request them to do a plugin for blesta ?

    https://www.namesilo.com/contact_us.php

     

    Yes I did. This was their response:

     

    Hi Jbincs,

    Unfortunately, their documentation appears to be extremely sparse. I cannot imagine how a module could be written given how little they have provided. Perhaps the best thing to do would be to contact Blesta and request that they create the module. Our API is extremely simple and I would imagine it would not be much work for them.

    Sorry to be passing off responsibility, but unless there is more thorough documentation there is not much we can do.

    Thanks,

    Skyler

     

    -----------------------------------------

    So I informed Blesta and asked for their help and this was their response:

     

    Hi Jbincs,

    We don't have a NameSilo module at the moment, and we're holding off on any internally developed registrar modules until we complete the domain name plugin that simplifies domain pricing. Someone on our forums may be interested in helping you develop a module though, there are some 3rd party developers there.

    Either way, the best place to start is a feature request. :) http://www.blesta.com/forums/index.php?/forum/11-feature-requests/

    Cheers
