Great feedback, thanks everyone.

Thank you, sirs. I will look into blestacms. I wasn't aware of such product.

This. Yes, please. I had a shopper wondering where the credit card payment option was, because they didn't relate "Paypal Payments Standard" as an applicable option for them. Here's a thread about it, and a quick work around by adding a one-liner of html.

That's the spirit.

I'm not a wordpress fan, either. At some point, I'll abandon wordpress, and revert to a pure implementation without CMS backends. I'll see what @ExpertIntegrations has to say about creating an integrated order form. Cheers.

Hi everyone. I'm hoping for some opinions on this matter; whether to integrate blesta with our wordpress based site: https://www.inumio.com/ or to just apply extra labor everytime we change a package (because I must change manually on wordpress, at the moment). I'm happy with the current rendering of the client portal, and don't really feel the need to "integrate" that anymore than it already is. However, the benefit of integrating the site with blesta new custom order form, cuts our workload down considerably when we make specification changes to the products. Who does this kind of contract work here in the community? Do you? Check out my site and tell me something.

I just dropped in a one-liner above the foreach construct, and it solved the problem. Thanks again.

@Licensecart Thank you, sir.

Hello everyone. I wish to improve my customer experience at the checkout. Currently, the payment options (paypal payments standard, and bitpay) don't have a clear CTA for customers paying with credit card. (See image below). What I'd like to do, is to simply add a small credit card logo next to the paypal payments standard label, which will make it a little more obvious for those using credit card. I've got some development experience (writing PHPBB extensions, et. al.), so I suppose it's not going to be a difficult job. Can someone possibly help me get started by just telling me a /path/filename to the appropriate template file this change should be made? If I can just edit it with my text editor and not need to setup my IDE on this laptop, it would be a wonderful thing.

@siteAdmin I ran into this as well... I expected that the package would be conditionally hidden from the order form (user) when inventory reaches '0'; however it's not the case. Good luck with your mod...

@serge Your solution still works! Thanks for that!

Sorry, please ignore this necro bump... wasn't looking at the OP date.

No frustration, and we've long resolved this issue. Cheers.

Insulting prospective customers is a new marketing technique, I guess.

https://docs.blesta.com/display/user/Requirements Had this been a bit more accurate, it would have saved me about three hours of wasted labor.

Trying to install blesta but am running into some issues. Anyone have some input on this? Surely the blesta docs would mention an incompatibility at the requirements screen, so I assume it's something I am missing.

Ah, no problem. I can certainly make ready the VPS for your install tasks. I'm very familiar with nginx, but wanted to make sure it was a supported web server for Blesta. Thanks for your reply.

I'm going to purchase the install service (leave it to the pros) for the monthly unbranded blesta to see how it does in production for a few months, at which time I'll upgrade to the lifetime license. My questions are: I'm planning on spinning up a KVM in proxmox to put blesta on. Any officially supported or suggested linux environment over another? When I pay blesta team to install to said VPS, will you install and configure nginx instead of apache? Will such a configuration be supported? As long as the deps are met, blesta is stand alone, correct? I don't need or plan to install any other software, such as cpanel on this VPS. It's dedicated to billing / provisioning. Thanks for your time.

Excellent input, folks. @Max Understood. I was mostly concerned with ensuring best-practices for encrypting the service data, as Paul has mentioned, and not having the credentials sitting in plaintext in a DB record. @naja7host Should I PM you to discuss further this development? Thanks everyone.

@timnboys Wonderful. Thanks very much for the details!

@naja7host It sounds really great. Could you possibly have a go at these other questions when you get time? Can the module inject into the customer portal somewhere a list of credentials for the customer to view? Will the credentials be encrypted? How? Can we add an additonal field to the username / password table for "IP / URL"? Since cleartext email is not a great idea for sending permanent login credentials, it's probably best to display those credentials in the client portal somewhere lieu sending them in plaintext email. My apologies for not deciding on this before. We need to add a field to associate the appliance IP (or URL) with the login name & pass. (three columns?) Regards

Thank you for your reply. So I understand your idea / solution, let me repeat to you what I think you suggest: We put the login credentials into a table in the module, and store the data in MySQL. A customer chooses from one of three firewall types, and clicks "Order". Blesta processes the order as usual, but also the new proposed module is listening for an event, upon which it fetches a set of credentials from MySQL, removes them from the DB, populates them in the welcome email (along with the typical new account information)? Hopefully I am clear on the suggested specification so far. If yes, please see the following questions: Would we be able to define different "pools" of credentials from which to draw? So if we have three types of appliances, we may have three "pools"? Can the module inject into the customer portal somewhere a list of credentials for the customer to view? Will the credentials be encrypted? How? Can we add an additonal field to the username / password table for "IP / URL"? Thank you for offering to code this. If we arrive at a suitable specification we will discuss cost?

@Paul Thanks very much for the reply. We'll label the packages with enough verbosity to avoid confusion. I'm glad to hear that this might be a solution. I will go back to the demo to continue testing. Cheers.

We only have eight of these appliances to rent. Is it not possible to configure each one as a product with it's own custom welcome email that could include the login credentials? In other words, can I create eight products, each with a stock level of 1, so when it is rented we send the email, and the product goes inactive or out-of-stock?
