Blesta Addons

With 9 location offerings and 3 packages per location, my package list is growing quite full.
I decided to convert my reseller offerings to 3 packages, with 9 configurable options instead.
To accept the order, I have to select the correct server (as opposed to the default package one) that correlates to the configurable option, and that's that.
Some sort of automated connection between that configurable option and the server would be great to automate this.
Cheers.

Thank you, it is PHP 7.3.17.
Based on the latest Blesta release notes and core developments, I would say every one is working very hard. Happy to be patient on this one
 
 

@SmallWeb Which version of PHP are you using when the issue occurs? This is a known issue with the XML parser in PHP 7.3.17 and 7.4.5 specifically and not neccessarily Blesta itself https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79528
There is currently an open pull request for the namesilo module that fixes it https://github.com/blesta/module-namesilo/pull/9 and the next PHP releases should also fix the issue with the XML parser, but we will likely have to wait until early next week for the changes to be merged into the blesta module's master branch (cant work Jono too hard, he's probably already got too much on his plate)

Maybe something like this?

Or with input-sm

I like the changes, let's do it!

Nice Work ?, i predict that more more add-ons are coming from our fiends.

for me the 4 point, this is not only for plugins but also for core specially the Pre/Post actions. 
for other part, the docs in first time was not a really strong enough to help me make addons, but i have learned for blesta source code and the practice that make from us a long time .
 

some of our clients asked us to change the mass mailer plugin to limit the emails sent on the cron, as the actual one some times block the smtp or the hosting account if the list is a big one. so we have decided to look in the code and i have found a simple way to do the jobs, and since is simple we have decided to share it with the community .
open the file plugins/mass_mailer/Cron/Email.php and change this lines (begin from line 55)
while (($task = $this->MassMailerTasks->getByJob($job->id))) { // Send the email $this->MassMailerEmails->send($task, $email); // Delete the task $this->MassMailerTasks->delete($task->id); } $this->completeJob($job->id); by this one
$counter = 0; $limit = 15; while (($task = $this->MassMailerTasks->getByJob($job->id))) { if ($counter > $limit) { break; } // Send the email $this->MassMailerEmails->send($task, $email); // Delete the task $this->MassMailerTasks->delete($task->id); $counter += 1; } if (!$task) { $this->completeJob($job->id); } you can set you limit by editing the var $limit, in our example every cron (5min) it well send only 15 emails.
i hope if Blesta staff can look into this simple task and add a limit to the mailer plugin  via the plugin setting.

What is blesta contact form?
Contact form plugin for Blesta is the best solution to receive messages from customers right to your email address(-es). It's a clean and simple, secure, plug-&-play contact form. The contact form has fields for Name, Email, Subject and Message. For added piece of mind this plugin also allows you to add a google reCAPTCHA. The contact form plugin has user friendly interface, so it should be relatively easy to use for most users. The contact form plugin can be installed with multi companies each company can use different email address(-es) and google reCAPTCHA.
Why do you need it?
If you're running a company that sell online products you really need to use our contact form plugin for pre-sales questions. Most customers have a lot of questions before buying a product as many of you know that blesta come only with support ticket system and this confuse the customer as they only want to ask one or two questions and need direct reply to their email address that’s why you need to use our contact form plugin for blesta
How it works?
After installing the contact form plugin, the admin can manage the plugin on how it going to work for each company. The admin can enter multi email addresses and an option to enter google reCAPTCHA site key and secret key if you need to use google reCAPTCHA. The contact form plugin creates an item in the client area menu so that customer can easily find the contact form. Every time a customer uses the contact form an email will be send to the email addresses the admin enter in the contact form settings.

we are in 4.8 beta, and we are from v3 waiting something for a real hosting market .
blesta has added a subdomain feature for cPanel module, from professional view is unused features with that way, companies that sell subdomain with a defined domains can be hosted in cpanel or plesk or vesta or any platform that support subdomains in account creation (almost all panels support this), this feature should be a part of order plugin and not a with cpanel or plesk module, because the client in the first step should select the domain then select the hosting (please make a view in other apps that they have already this done),  and of course the check availability should be working for subdomain, i think a simple way is to check if exist record A for the subdomain with a simple php function dns_get_record() .
unify functions in registrar modules, like (get name server, set name server, update whois, get whois, get epp, set lock, get lock status,  ....ect ) 
pricing system for domain, now a lock for transfer/restore  prices .
bundles package, is a trivial features that all hosting companies need it to make offers/promotions .
in the end i can say another time Blesta is a good software for almost any thing unless hosting industry .

is good news that blesta has more client every day, and getting more migrating to Blesta than away from it. but i'm still insist that blesta has not touched yet the big market (Hosting Market), if blesta can concentrate in this market, you will get more clients than what you imagine, we are working with the two billing system and we know exactly what are locked and missed in blesta, if you want @Paul any suggestion or ideas about how the hosting market work i'm ready . 
whimps has a big team (in term of persons) and a big company behind it, and of course a big base clients for it, and they are totally in the hosting market for so many years and they know well what the market need. why not blesta look at the other side a try to make a collaboration with Plesk, interworks and directadmin ... ect, and why not searching for investors, it a win win contract, because the time is money nowadays .
 

Enable error reporting in blesta config file, then the error will be shown for you.
 

It would have to expand to the next digit.

I would love to see this feature... I would like to use {year}{month}-0001 (plus a prefix) for my numbers since I don't have more than 9,999 invoices in a month's time.

when a client is logged in, blesta set the client info to the global structure view, but for staff is not the same, we can't get the staff name, email ... ect  in the structure, this info is only available in the edit setting for profile.
sample case, we need to show a welcome message (Hello mr xxxxxx, ....) in our theme .
i think the code should be like this, and it should be done in the app_controller.php asi think, adding it to the admin_controller.php is not take any effect that because all admin_xxx file inherit from AppController directly
$this->uses(['Staff']); $staff = $this->Staff->get($this->Session->read('blesta_staff_id')); if ($staff) { $this->structure->set('staff', $staff); }  
or the magic option is to allow as inject vars to the structure view from preAction event or any new similar hook, let say i want to inject a list of PM's to the structure to use it in our custom admin theme .

ome plugins add/edit/delete entries in the menu, after the upgrade the modification is not viewed instantly, we need to clear the cache after every upgrade to see the change .
 

Declined means the bank declined the charge. Error means there could have been a problem with the gateway and the charge may otherwise go through. In both cases, the charge did not complete and will not settle. However, there is a major distinction between the two. In the case of a decline, there can be many reasons. Account doesn't have the funds, or the address doesn't match the one provided (AVS mismatch). Whatever the case, you should check Tools > Logs > Gateway to see what the raw response was from the gateway which may give more clarity to the reason.
