  1. Thanks, I managed to login to blesta.store. I was trying to log into the licencecart site, and didn't have access to my domains email server. But now managed to get a password reset email from blesta.store and my licence is there. Many thanks for your help!
  2. I purchased a licence on 2nd May 2015. Ather not using it for the last few years I have tried to use it this week, but it no longer works and says it's invalid. Can someone help me to find out why my licence key no longer works. Many Thanks Jon
  3. Well for example, I offer rouncube or zoho email option with hosting. So the customer sees either option 1 Zoho mail - (£10 one off setup charge £0 mothly) option 2 roundcube mail - (£0 setup and £0 monthly) Just thought, an area to display more info would be good, a hover over could display an extra field from the New Package Option page. As a designer, most of my customers are not as tech savy as a typical hosting customer, they tend to need a bit of hand holding. something like this...
  4. Is it possible to have more info displayed when hovering over an add-on in the order forms. So that the customer can get some information regarding certain add-on and why they may need it. In a similar way as an <a> tag can use the title=" " attribute.
  5. Any update on this? A quote system whould be much appreciated. Renaming drafts is fine, but no way to email to the customer, other than PDF download, then email manually.
  6. Thanks for the quick responce. I had an image link in the welcome email. I removed it but the same error. So then i removed {package.email_html} from the responce, manually filled out the email for that specific customer, and it worked. Then readded, the stock response. I presume it will be ok for normal account activation? Hi {contact.first_name}, Your service has been approved and activated. Please keep this email for your records. {package.email_html} Working now, but I have 3 services the customer. Is it OK to manully remove the earlier services from the database? It only generted 1 invoice fortunately. Thanks for your help.
  7. Oh noes!Array to string conversion on line 18 in /home/admin/web/mydomain.com/public_html/vendors/h2o/h2o/datatype.php I tried it but got the above message.
  8. Have you changed your setup? or do you use the standard blesta ISO database? I've manually edited the country to UK and the random mix of states, counties and local authorities to the full & correct County list. Just have to deal with SYK for (South Yorkshire) in front of the postcode. If you know specifically where to change from the 3 letter code to the full State / county, it would be good to know. I'm pro EU, My wife's family all live in Crimea, and a lot of friends were on Maidan Square in Kyiv. So I see the bigger picture, and know friends of friends that have already died for the EU... it's strange to see so much anti EU sentiment, after all the main founding aim of the EU has been a 100% success. No war in europe, by containing nationalism, unforunatly the side effect is culture homoganisation, but we knew that when we signed up. The ironic thing is if we left the EU, Scotland would 100% leave the UK and then blesta will need to update the database, because ISO won't.
  9. Yes. it's very flexible app\models\states.php looks promising
  10. Anyway... Just editing the database is not possible, because the state can only be 3 letters. Changing to larger Varchar code length in mysql is possible, but then when you choose an edited state / county in blesta, the code will only allow 3 char maximum no matter what the you choose in the database . so even if editing the database, stuck with 3 letter code for the county.
  11. The technical definition Great Britain is the name of the main Island, and United Kingdom is the name of the country. It's the same as Holland vs Netherlands. The country is Netherlands, and Holland is simply the biggest region. here's the EU link http://publications.europa.eu/code/pdf/370000en.htm Excluding Cameron and Fararge I've never heard anyone from UK call it "Great Britain" . Apart from the fact it's not the name of our country, it's embarrassing. Great? Is there anywhere else that's so weird? How about Mega Macedonia, Or Fantastic Finland... What about Awesome Australia or Super Spain.
  12. Opened another thread because the other one was closed without debate. ISO is not a standard used in the UK. They still call it GB, and the country is UK. It's not been GB since the year 1707. If a data source used is old hat, defunct or incorrect. Don't use it. The EU states on their website ISO standards should not be used for UK and Greece. Because it's wrong. It's a bug in the data used and should be raised as a bug. Thanks for the heads up about all i need to do is edit the database. I will do so. but you are being defensive about blesta, rather than being open to the fact it's not ideal. Because you're from the UK too... and be honest, have you ever had a single letter in your life that has a 3 letter ISO code on the address and no county? The royal mail were famous for getting the letter there no matter how. You could just put a slice of toast in a letterbox with the postcode, house number and a stamp. Chances were the slice of toast would get to the address, but the Royal mail was privatised last year, so the good old days are over, and now they demand correctly formulated address. A good proportion of my customers still like to use a phone and fax. And I've already had my first customer ask for paper billing. I'm not having a dig a blesta, just pointing out, the one size fits all address system does not fit the UK very well at all. The suggestion is designed to make blesta better. It was not my concern to think off the development time that would be needed to implement the changes, just that it would be an improvement.
  13. The UK counties in blesta are not correct. Posted in the bugs forum, but told not a bug and the thread was closed. But is actually a bug, because there is no way to add a customer correct address to Blesta if they live in the UK. As has been pointed out to me, Blesta uses http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:GB A standard which is not currently used for addresses in the UK, and is incompatible. The UK uses The UK postal system not Switzerland's ISO sysetm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_counties_of_the_United_Kingdom Saying we use ISO standard for UK is like saying we have Blesta translated into Greek but used the Latin alphabet. Due to using ISO standard, blesta has an incomplete mix of some counties, some countries and some local councils in the "State / Province" address field. For example. I Live in Sheffield. The county is South Yorkshire (not listed in Blesta) (blesta lists the city council (sheffield)) London is the worst example, The county of London is not on the list either, and London appears to have been divided into political local borough council seats. For example Lambeth, Barking and Dagenham, Hackney. Additionally the list is not even complete, it has some counties, some boroughs and countries too (England). Dividing London for example into Lambeth, Barking and Dagenham, Hackney is fine but messy I guess (Address line 2 would normally be the correct place for Lambeth.), but if it's going to be done the way it is currently, where is Chelsea, Kensington & Finsbury? London falls into; Kent Essex Middlesex Hertfordshire Surrey London (County) which includes "City of London" (Which is not actually London the city, it's very small area inside London) Dividing the UK into political local boroughs instead of counties, is not ideal, as there will be plenty of people that don't even know what local council they fall under. I understand a degree of local knowledge is needed, and If you guys are from the states the data is taken form elsewhere.. And even if you are from the UK it's confusing. It gets more confusing though, because some areas are Special postal towns. These are places that don't need a county (but you can add one if you wish). London, Sheffield & Bristol are all examples of special postal towns. For example, these are places that a letter will get delivered to whether the county is present on an envelope or not. EG 1 Station Road Sheffield S1 1SS is the same as 1 Station Road Sheffield South Yorkshire S1 1SS But in Blesta, the only way to write the address is 1 Station Road Sheffield Sheffield S1 1SS which will produce the address 1 Station Road Sheffield SHF S1 1SS The only way to sort this for the UK is to add the correct list of counties remove the 3 letter province code, and display the full name here (South Yorkshire), Optional (rename Zip code to Postcode) Optional (rename state / province to county) Optional but not advised (make county (state / province) field optional for customers) Provided these 2 rules are followed, Blesta can then store correct UK addresses in 95% of cases, and the other 5% will have a duplicate line eg (London in London) It's important from my perspective, because in many cases it's not possible for a customer to add the correct address to their profile. Hopefully it's possible to manually edit the info. But for those that are interested here is the correct list of UK counties. (England) Avon Bedfordshire Berkshire Buckinghamshire Cambridgeshire Cheshire Cleveland Cornwall County Durham Cumbria Derbyshire Devon Dorset East Sussex Essex Gloucestershire Hampshire Herefordshire Hertfordshire Isle of Wight Kent Lancashire Leicestershire Lincolnshire London (London boroughs should be completed on address line 2 including "City of London") Merseyside Middlesex Norfolk Northamptonshire Northumberland North Humberside North Yorkshire Nottinghamshire Oxfordshire Rutland (optional but best to include) Shropshire Somerset South Humberside South Yorkshire Staffordshire Suffolk Surrey Tyne and Wear Warwickshire West Midlands West Sussex West Yorkshire Wiltshire Worcestershire (Northern Ireland) County Antrim County Armagh County Down County Fermanagh County Londonderry County Tyrone (Scotland) Aberdeenshire Angus Argyll Ayrshire Banffshire Berwickshire Caithness Clackmannanshire Dumfriesshire Dunbartonshire East Lothian Fife Inverness-shire Isle of Arran Isle of Barra Isle of Benbecula Isle of Bute Isle of Canna Isle of Coll Isle of Colonsay Isle of Cumbrae Isle of Eigg Isle of Gigha Isle of Harris Isle of Iona Isle of Islay Isle of Jura Isle of Lewis (Wales) Clwyd Dyfed Gwent Gwynedd Mid Glamorgan South Glamorgan Powys West Glamorgan If the developers are not wanting to concede this is a bug (the bug being using an incompatible standard) then is there a way to manually edit the php files?

  15. Despite the ambiguous title, i'm just wondering how big other peoples blesta installs are. I have 25GB on my VPS, including OS, packages, software etc, solely for hosting blesta. And have been given the opportunity to double my RAM and drive space for 2 euro extra a month (the offer expires soon) I noticed log_cron is the biggest area in my database, and is growing quickly. I wondered if this will simply keep growing forever, or does it delete old entries after so long? My PDF invoices are about 250KB (with the logo + header), and my customer base will be small compared to a hosting company, as im primarily a designer. So do people think 25GB will be more than enough, or should I upgrade? How big is your database and total install? How many customers? How long have you been running blesta?
