Blesta Addons

So, I'm not an expert on Blesta or NGINX, but I have learned the easy way to make the two work and wanted to share. Credit to cloudrck for starting the project on github (I have used a lot of his work in the config.)
 
1.) Fire up a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04 64-Bit (DigitalOcean works great for testing)
 
2.) Install EasyEngine (easy way to setup a LEMP server)
curl -sL rt.cx/ee | sudo bash ee system install 3.) Create your site with EasyEngine
ee site create youdomainname.com --mysql 4.) Install Ioncube
cd /usr/local sudo wget http://downloads2.ioncube.com/loader_downloads/ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64.tar.gz sudo tar xzf ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64.tar.gz mv /usr/local/ioncube/* /usr/lib/php5/20121212/ nano /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini zend_extension = /usr/lib/php5/20121212/ioncube_loader_lin_5.5.so service php5-fpm restart 5.) Apply PHP 5.5 Hotfix
 
Prepare your files before you upload. Copy the "blesta" folder from the PHP5.5 Hotfix folder to the main "blesta" folder. This will overwrite the files that need to be replaced.
 
Zip up your "blesta" folder contents and upload to your new server instance.
 
6.) Edit your NGINX Conf
cd /etc/nginx/sites-available/ cp *yourdomain.com *yourdomain.com.backup nano You can use the following NGINX config as a starting point (it should work out of the box for you after you edit the paths.)
# MYSQL NGINX CONFIGURATION server { listen 80; listen 443 ssl; server_name *your FQN*; access_log /var/log/nginx/*log directory & file* rt_cache; error_log /var/log/nginx/*log directory & file*; root *local directory for Blesta install*; index index.php index.htm index.html; server_name *your FQN*; ssl_certificate *SSL Cert File*.crt; ssl_certificate_key *SSL Key File*.key; location / { error_page 404 = @blesta; #IF file doesn't exist log_not_found off; } #Core rewrite location @blesta { rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php last; # rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php/(.*) /$1 permanent; } location ~ \.php$ { try_files $uri =404; # Tweak for Nginx to work with PHP from vendors fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$; # NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini fastcgi_connect_timeout 60; fastcgi_send_timeout 180; fastcgi_read_timeout 180; # Buffer settings increase to compensate for increased time/size due to SSL fastcgi_buffer_size 128k; fastcgi_buffers 4 256k; # fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 256k; fastcgi_temp_file_write_size 256k; fastcgi_intercept_errors on; fastcgi_pass php; fastcgi_index index.php; include fastcgi_params; } # Disallow access to any file with .pdt extension location ~ (\.pdt) { return 403; } if (!-e $request_filename){ rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php; } #Core rewrite location @blesta { rewrite ^(.*)$/index.php/(.*) /$1 permanent; } include common/locations.conf; } Now save the file as *yourdomain.com (Press CRTL-X, then Y and type it in.)
 
This should have overwritten the current config (the one you just made a backup of.)
 
7.) Test & Restart NGINX
nginx -t (if all goes well, you will see successful) If successful, then restart service nginx restart 8.) Set database password and create a database (assuming using root user for this tutorial)
mysqladmin -u root password YOURnewPASSWORD mysql -u root -p *ENTER PASSWORD* create database DATABASEname; flush privileges; exit 9.) Install Blesta
 
Follow installation instructions.
 
10.) Make the SEF URL's work
cd /var/www/*yourdomain.com/htdocs nano lib/init.php Find the HTACCESS line and replace with this: define("HTACCESS", true); Note: This tutorial does not address security or hardening in any way. I will leave that up to you. I am simply sharing a good starting point to get Blesta up and running. I'm using Ubuntu in this instance as it works great for starting out with EasyEngine and UFW.
 
Feel free to add to this and let me know if I have missed anything!

how do you fix the isseu ?
can you share your conf for other users and to add it to blesta wiki .

It is the intended behavior for attachments to not be sent out via email, and instead users should login to view the ticket and download them.
 
A new email template tag may be useful to determine whether there are any attachments, and the template can be updated to indicate that the user should view the ticket in the UI to download the attachments. CORE-1274

Well the quick / easy idea for using Twilio for automated payments appears to be a no go at the moment...
 
 
 

This would be a beneficial feature for those of us who lock SSH to key-based authentication only.

the SFTP use the SSH port , so it should 22 as default .

We considered doing this with Twilio, or a native Asterisk server for making payments by phone, verifying orders (Call the customer, ask them to enter a code into the order form), and more. We haven't had time to fully vet things, but Twilio appears to be a very useful service.

Thought I'd share a notable, recent find!
 
PRINCIPLES OF MOBILE SITE DESIGN whitepaper published by Google, April 2014.
 
https://www.google.com/think/multiscreen/whitepaper-sitedesign.html

Just tested this out to verify naja's post above.  The order form only shows the first term if the term "length" is the same.
 
Would certainly be nice if you could have more than 1 for the same term to accomplish this .

i was thinking about a feature that give as the option to make the price with setup fee or without setup fee ,like
package price = 15 $ ; Setup fee = 5$
OR
package price = 17 $ ; Setup fee = 0$

This can impact your system by boots and spams .

Hello Again
i believe the australian can read/writre well in english , not as the poor one i in english .
OUT of the subject , paypal not accepting INR currency . your can re-read the entire link in your post "When the customers complete the sale the funds get sent to your PayPal account and convert to US Dollars"
here is the list of accepted currency in paypal https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/api/currency_codes/ .
paypal is not our probleme, paypal is just a exemple here , we are talking about gateways .
i can't tell you more , if any other can explain to you more are welcome .
another time :
1- add a new currency that are not in the supported corrency in your gateways .
2- affect this currency to a client .
3- generate a invocie for this cleint with that corrency .
4- show me now how you can pay it with gateways .
THIS IS WAS POSSIBLE in v2.5 , and in all the other competitors billing system .

@naja7host
I will try to make a simple mod for this to work for Blesta this week

It's becoming more and more important that we get The Marketplace finished up. Being able to install and upgrade extensions directly from Blesta, as well as browsing all extensions from inside Blesta or the marketplace website will make things easy. It will also have rating and review options.

We are talking here about currency that are not supported by some gateways .
let imagine you have a company in a country that thier currency is not supported by paypal !!! how you can accept payment with paypal ?
the only one solution is to add a conversion proccessor inside the system that convert a NO-SUPPORTED currecny to a supported one like USD .
another more realistic case , a client that select XXX as default currency . when the invoice are generated with that currency , making payment with no supported gateway is not possible in blesta system .
to understand me well ,
1- add a new currency that are not in the supported corrency in paypal .
2- affect this currency to a client .
3- generate a invocie for this cleint with that corrency .
4- show me now how you can pay it with paypal .
the worst thing now in v3 , that we should add all the world's currency to the gateways , and add the conversion inthe gateway. in v2.5 it was a simple option named multi-currency , when we disable it , all the active gateways appear to the client when he want to pay . now is impossible .
IF BLESTA stuff didn't se any benifict from adding a conversion rate in the gateways for no supportred currency . make as a option that let the gateways appear to all cleints , whithout checking the currency in the cleints profile .

Hi,
 
Blesta only has been translated to my language for 13% so I am eager to help,
I translated other solutions so I thought it would be again using a code editor and downloading the language files straight on the server, zipping them and uploading them somewhere,
However there seems to be an entire blesta translation project going on; nice idea!
 
However, it's taking me several times as long as editing straight in the files because the page has to load after each sentence/word.
 
My question:
- If I translate the language files via my editor, can I somehow upload them into the translate project for others to improve?
- Is it possible to get 20/30 sentences/words shown at the same time?
 
I really wanna help translate blesta but I find this way very time consuming and not very productive...

Well Adressed this idea, i was thinking to add a modal windows that the client should enter the email +password then it will login to thier webmail .
the default user is bad idea .
thanks

that because blesta do a dns query  , if the query failed the email is considerated as invalid .

We stopped shipping Blesta with Google Checkout. We have not implemented a Google Wallet gateway, as some have reported that Google was not friendly to accepting payments for hosting providers.

Its been a very, very long while since I added anything to this but here's a doozy of one.
 
If you use Git, and have access to GitLab (free to install and use), this plugin is definitely for you!
 
GitLab Time Tracking plugin is meant for freelancers to monitor the amount of work done on a project.  When a push w/ multiple commits is made, the plugin calculates how much time went between the first and last commit and stores that data.
 
That's not all, though!  It also will generate an invoice for you based on a pre-defined set of intervals (minutes, hours and days).  So, for example, if you charge $15 every 30 minutes of work, and you do 2 hours of work, it will generate an invoice of $60.  Invoices can either be active (default) or draft as well.
 
If you want to clear a project's data from the plugin, just click "Purge Data" and click "Yes" to the prompt.
 
While this only works with GitLab right now, it is possible to do this with GitHub and possibly others as well.  If there's interest this will be fitted to GitHub first and possibly others after.
 
The only thing we can address as a "odd" feature is that the quantity for the invoice is as specific as possible, but this is due to rounding issues causing different end money totals (i.e.: 10.1711 x $50/hr = $508.56 but 10.17 x $50/hr = $508.50).  This can be patched in but for now we are leaving it as is.  We want the community's feedback on this.
