  5. Suggestions Ratings/tracker

    in Feature Requests

    Posted

    This is not a feature request at all for Blesta...but figured this would be a good place to put it.

     

    Since Paul, Cody and Tyson are awesome and like to prioritize things by what the users want...wouldn't an actual "Suggested Feature Tracker" be a good addition to the site?  Instead of people posting new suggestions on the forums (or they could still do that but have a dedicated team to take the best suggestions and add them to the tracker?), they could add their suggestions/features to this tracker where everyone else could vote yay/nay...which would make it a lot easier for the devs to see what people want most...instead of counting +1s in a thread.

     

    Just an idea :)

     

    I agree and actually thought the same thing.  The features with the most votes go to the top of the list.  As well as a bug tracker.

  7. Migrate Google Checkout Gateway To Google Wallet

    in Feature Requests

    Posted

    My bet is Google becomes more and more hostile to the hosting industry, as they encroach further and further into it.

     

    That's more of a Microsoft tactic.  Companies like Google and Amazon let small businesses build the marketplace so that they can swoop it up later without enduring the cost of building it themselves.  They'll always beat us on purchasing power.

  8. Whmcs Migrator (Beta) - Updated 2013-11-12

    in The Lounge

    Posted

    I've noticed one thing around here and that is that everyone seems to have the a module, plugin, importer, feature that they need.  Sometimes there is this insinuation that the devs aren't doing enough or list of things which they 'should' be doing.  They can't just drop everything on focus on just one client with their specific needs alone (show me one company that does?).  Mind you that it's a client management and billing system.  It has an open modules/plugin system which means you can develop or have someone develop your modules.  You can also have your own importer build.  But if you're going to wait around for the complimentary modules and importers that come at no cost to you then a little patience are in order.  Especially if your going to critique them about their so-called 'behind-the-scenes problems' as someone described it.  If it was so easy and you want get migrated so badly why wouldn't you just build it yourself?  Nothing is stopping you.

     

    Blesta is build with quality in mind and this takes time.  The community couldn't be more helpful.

     

    I don't mean help this topic run away but good grief!  It had to be said.   :huh:

  15. Rasberry Pi?

    in The Lounge

    Posted

    I'm thinking about turning my Pi into a sprinkler control system, and creating an interface to configure schedules over the internet, and possibly tie into weather monitoring service (NOAA) to automatically disable/reschedule during rain showers.

    It could be fun to play around with when used in conjunction with my video surveillance system. :D

     

    This is definitely an awesome idea and I'd love to see it done!

     

    If you can code and know electrical theory than skys the limit. I have some code in my Github deal with the Arduino.

    There is also the BeagleBone/BeagleBoard line and WandBoard. I've used a BeagleBone A6, it worked well enough for reading sensors, not media though.

     

    The $45 BeagleBone Black is supposedly more powerful than the Pi. Source

    Texas Instruments has been investing in the embedded linux scene lately.

     

    I was just looking at the BeagleBoard Black today as a matter of fact.  I love it's form factor and how it doesn't have a bunch of ports hanging off of it that are worthless to me.

  16. Pay For Features

    in Pre-Sales Questions

    Posted

    We are available for sponsored and custom development, email sales and we can discuss. If it's an extension it's a lot easier than a change to a core feature. For sponsored development, we only implement changes that we want to add to the product but can't do yet due to heavy demand of other features. For everything else it's custom development where we would make the change or build the feature just for you, and not include it in a future release.

     

    How can you do custom development in core without maintaining it on every release?  That sounds hectic.

  19. Invoices Without The Customer Vat Number?

    in Bugs

    Posted

    Issue fixed,

    I've added the following code:

    if(!empty($this->invoice->client->settings['tax_id']))
    $address .= $this->invoice->client->settings['tax_id'] . "\n";

     

    Very nice, and thank you for submitting the details to add it.  If this is required by law it probably should be added as a feature.  You might want to submit this as a feature request.

  21. Custom Client Fields Value In The Invoice

    in The Lounge

    Posted

    Can anyone reply?

    Thanks in advance.

     

    What state and law out of curiosity?  I'm not familiar with a 'fiscal code number' requirement as I'm in US.  Is this specific to your company or per client?  

     

    Custom client fields can be added by going to Settings > Company > Custom Client Fields

     

    Invoice templates can be edited If you require something special to be added.   One of the devs can help you out there and it may be a good feature request if more companies from the same location require it.  Being that it's the weekend you will probably get an answer at the beginning of the week if you don't hear from anyone by tomorrow.

  23. Rasberry Pi?

    in The Lounge

    I don't have a Rasberry Pi, I opted for something with more power and went with the PandaBoard from Texas Instruments. They have opensource graphic drivers for Ubuntu, so I can play full 1080p MKV files perfectly fine.

     

    In addition to using it as a media server, you can setup a VPN tunnel, hook up various sensors (temperature, ambient light, CO2, water flow, etc.). Home automation seems to be gaining ground. I have an Arduino that talks to my Pandaboard sending data from it's sensors. I'm sure you can accomplish the samething with a Raspberry Pi.

     

    Now we're talkin... I'm going to check that one out as well.  That sounds like more of what I'd be after.

     

     

    As I previously said, I use mine for a media player.

    For a long I didn't buy one because I thought it would be a joke. But a few weeks ago I borrowed a friends and I was blown away at how powerful and well HD movies play.

    I have been very impressed with the pi, I may even consider buying another or two.

     

    My only concern about running media on the Rasberry Pi was 1080p.  I watched some youtube videos which is not always the most accurate source of info but the comments can be revealing sometimes.  It appeared to run 1080p without any problems but only if the hertz was dropped down to 24 or something to that effect.  What are you running yours at? 

     

    Also another thing I don't like is the RCA video and analog audio port.  The only thing I'd ever need is ethernet, USB, and hdmi w/audio pass through.

     

    Very cool that Blesta geeked out on one and posted a video already.   :)

  25. Rasberry Pi?

    I have one.

    I really like it. Its not as powerful as I would like but for the money its very nice.

    I use mine as a home media center basically. I run raspbmc on it and it loads all of my media off of a NFS. It works really well, it could be better but it is still good.

     

    That's what I was interested in using it for.  Other than just a toy I can't think of any other use for it.  Are there any other alternatives or is Raspbmc the only one?
