[Is Blesta An Option For Dedicated?]

There was a Dedicated Server module for WHMCS... I think I even have a copy of that script, but it's an extremely old copy.

 

Hmm... maybe I should convert it to Blesta?

Can you describe a little bit more about this module? Perhaps provide a link to the WHMCS one you are referring to?

I'll look into it and see if there's anything that can be done. Honestly, the closest thing that comes to managing dedicated servers would be NOC-PS's NOC-PS module, but that's mainly for OS reloads and stuff.

 

Ironically, I have a project right now with ModulesBakery that's currently on hold for developing such a module. It ties into Ubersmith... well, the providers that utilize Ubersmith such as QuadraNet have enabled Ubersmith's APIs.

If you'd like to have access to such a module that makes use of the Ubersmith API for dedicated servers... I'd be happy to get it open-sourced instead of copyrighted and locked to our company only.

We evaluated Ubersmith and HostBillApp as a replacement for our current setup (custom orders forms that backend via SQL to WHMCS v3 with Kayako and Cerberus .. ugh what a mess) as a replacement and ended up going with Blesta (slowly making transition). While Ubersmith is very with modularizing the order forms, the price point did not make sense to us (the cost would be the same to hire a developer vs Ubersmith). HostBillApp also suffered from this, plus the lack of support (unless you call pay per ticket ... support).

If you could describe a little bit more as to what being worked in, I think it would interests a lot of folks here. Making the plugin/module free to use and opening sourcing it would be great for the long term (maintainability, feature inclusion, etc.)

Edit: Looks like the module for dedicated servers was abandoned. And a new version of the module has been released for WHMCS.

 

I'll take a look-see at it and see if I can help with getting it converted over.

Keep us up to date,

[Swagger For Api]

Howdy,

 

A suggestion I have for the API that blesta offers is to replace (or add to) the Confluence page you have on API[1] and use Swagger[2] to automatically generate the docs for you.

 

The benefit is that its developer friendly for Blesta AND consumers of the API. You also get some added benefits like a free command line tool to interact with the API. All Swagger does is generate 'swagger doc' (think IDL/WADL) that drives the online web pages or command line interface, or xyz. This[3] is the classic pet store example.

 

thanks,

/adam

[Blesta Developer Wanted]

The work was sold with the copyrights to the client @dhabets, so you better PM him and see if he would be willing to selling it to you.

 

I have PM'ed the user and have been waiting. While it is unethical for you to provide me their contact information, would you be willing to email them, on my behalf, and have them kindly check their PM?

 

Cerb 7 just came out that introduces a lot of new features and rather then start from scratch, I would like to build off the work if possible. 

 

Thanks,

-Adam

[Observium Module]

Howdy Folks,

 

Has any progress been made on the observium front? We currently use a mix bag of monitoring programs, everything from Nagios to Observium to paid for monitoring services and home made scripts. Part of our process, besides evaluating moving to a newer billing and ordering software is to integrate one of these services to the customer facing side. We are currently looking at Icinga and Observium as final choices. Knowing about the observium front will help us make a wide number of decisions.

 

Let us know! thanks,

-Adam

[Blesta Developer Wanted]

Howdy All,

 

I was wondering if work has been published towards making the Cerberus module available?

 

Thank you,

[[Order] Allow To Set Quantity When Placing A Order.]

Howdy,

 

I realize this is an old thread (in terms of date) but I am currently evaluating Blesta as a replacement to our current system (a story for another day) and this quantity field was throwing me off. What I mean by this, is both by a administrative/staff perspective (how do I set a quantity on a product / product configuration, etc) and by the end user trying to place an order.

 

Reading the thread, it appears this a static number "1 @" that is injected on the order form. For my current evaluation, I am recommending that the template remove all references to quantity for the sake of HCI.

 

Thanks,
