There have been a number of threads lately with users asking how to create a shared login system with Blesta. That is, how to log a user into Blesta from Joomla, or Wordpress, or some other system. Since the plugin to do such a thing is so simple, we decided it'd be best if we just create the plugin. So I spent the last 45 minutes or so working on it, and it's about 90% complete. It just needs the management capabilities to configure the shared secret value from within the plugin management interface, and a little more testing. Look for it on Monday, November 25. UPDATE: The plugin is now available. Extract to /plugins/. Documentation on using the shared login plugin can be found here. shared_login.zip

Hi i cant see in the blesta demo a section to create quote or estimates for future clients thank you very much.

I like to bill on the first of the month. Monthly: When a client signs up, it's for the remainder of this month and next month. Quarterly is Jan-Mar, Apr-Jun, Jul-Sep, Oct-Dec. Clients pay whatever is left on the quarter. Same for annual, Jan 1 - Dec 31. Client pay remainder. This is standard billing practice at most companies. Hosts, credit cards, and cell phones are the weird ones, basing a billing date on a sign-up date. When billing happens on one day, it's done in a few days, and the person can do other things. Messing with billing every day is ridiculous. Anyway, want to see this feature in Blesta. WHMCS has it, but Blesta was better in many ways. This is the only thing missing. It shouldn't be that hard. It's nothing more than manual billing with a calculator in-app that automates it. Thanks!

I have a blesta unbranded license for sale Looking to sell it at a price of 140$(only today ) .It's already verified by blesta staff.Serious buyers can contact me . Selling very cheap Bought it from Licensepal Very urgent .. I'll offer free installation though Price is slightly negotiable if paid today Thanks

Hi all, I'm new here, so please excuse me if this is in the wrong place! So, for my company we're looking at making a move to Blesta. WHMCS is slowly driving us all up the wall, and of all the other products we've ever considered or evaluated, Blesta is certainly the best. The only thing is, there are a few things that Blesta doesn't yet have modules for which we need - GoCardless and DuoSecurity being two. For those not in the know; GoCardless (www.gocardless.com) is a payment provider offering Direct Debit payments in the UK, and soon SEPA Direct Debit payments in the EU. The fees are low, customers get security and protection - it's all good. DuoSecurity (www.duosecurity.com) is a provider of 2FA services. The service is free for the first few accounts, and rather reasonably priced after that. There are a whole bunch of integrations already done for everthing from Microsoft Exchange to *nix systems. Yea, there are other 2FA providers out there, but Duo has worked really well for us. Blesta doesn't seem to have modules for either of these yet, and I'm guessing due to the limited appeal they're not going to be high up on the "todo" list either. What we were wondering, is if there is any interest from others here for these modules? The idea would be that if we went and developed them to a suitable standard, to offer them in the marketplace for a nominal fee to both open the option of these service providers to other users, and to help us recover initial development costs and fund ongoing improvements. So in summary - would anyone be interested in these two modules? If so what features and methods would be "must haves"? Thanks, Jon

I saw this article mentioned in the ARIN mailing list recently, and found it quite interesting. http://www.renesys.com/2013/11/mitm-internet-hijacking/ Apparently, route hijacking has been on the rise in 2013. Worth the read if you have a few minutes.

I was just thinking about changing staff titles and thought it would be cool if there was a feature to edit staff titles: Eg: Michael Dance - Chief Executive Callum S.... - Director of Operations Ones without a custom title get the default "Support Staff". So on a ticket: [Picture] [Full Name] [staff Title]or[support Staff]

Guys is there a date set for the beta tester version of 3.1.0 coming out, so excited to try it as usual .

Morning folks, Any idea when this feature can be expected? As it's currently preventing us from moving to Blesta from WHMCS. And we REALLY want rid of WHMCS right now Thanks, Jon

Hello, We are currently developing a tcadmin module. Of course it's going slow but we plan on having a full working version out soon. We are still debating on if we will offer this module for free or for a very small monthly licensing fee. Don't pay attention to the horrible logo job. We'll update as we keep moving forward on this project.

I have one. This is the site I am using to update every thing related to RPi https://plus.google.com/b/100101100233768197353/100101100233768197353/posts Currently I have configured RPi as headless.

Figured I'd ask here since I know Paul at least likes Interworx...anyone happen to know where I can get VPS licenses for Interworx? (without signing up for new VPSes...trying to find some to use on my current servers...)

Any way to track CORE-832 ?

nodes have to be selected at the package level. I have added a task however, CORE-832 that will allow SolusVM Node Groups -- as defined in SolusVM to be selected for provisioning. This will allow you to assign new nodes to groups in SolusVM and be automatically added to the pool.

Hello . I'm having a blesta.com unbranded direct license for sale . Willing to let it go at 155$(price Update) only via paypal Plus free installation on request PS : It's not a licensepal which had been previously posted . It's another license i have for sale Thank you

Did you really need to open a second topic to advertise your license?

What game?

Nice domains I would be interested in one, but then I read "GoDaddy" and I hate that registrar as a customer however I do like the Owner Bob Parsons, a clever man.

Go figure Im lost again. I want to set up some products that have no configurable options. Since I HAVE to choose a module, and "None" is no longer availalable, I chose the universal module. This forces me to add a "product" to the module . I dont really understand this step, but I added a text box called commets,.. When going through the checkout process, It displays the text box with no lable, under rhe statement "Configurable Options". What If my product has no configurabkle optuons and I do not want this to display during the checkout process? Im sure that I am missing something so maybe someone could post how to create a package that has no congfigurable options and wont display configurable options during the checkout process? thanks for all your help! Bob

I probably wouldn't be a Blesta customer if it weren't for that promo, and I've since purchased Add-On company licenses, totaling me at well over what the full-price ($210, right?) license would cost me today. I've also purchased the ModuleGarden cPanel module for Blesta, which I assume helps to further grow the 3rd-party community around Blesta. Despite Blesta's current shortcomings or immaturity, we are making it work for several of our businesses. So, I must say that I'm a proponent of the $99 sale which happened, because for me it lowered the barrier of entry enough to justify giving something new a try. I struggle to see the excessive "flipping" which most everyone here seems to be convinced of. I'm sure a case or two exist, but in general I have seen a lot of people selling a single license with minimal margins over $99. If I were in their shoes, I wouldn't sell my copy for $99 either, I'd try to recoup a few extra bucks too! It seems to me that if people were serious about flipping licenses in such a manner that they would have purchased many licenses and be selling them en masse. Most of what I'm seeing is one guy with one license and a business which could have used Blesta. The evidence of my take on it goes further, though: If Blesta were already in high-demand then we wouldn't be seeing so many licenses sit unsold, and these $99 buyers would be running out of licenses quickly. But, what we're seeing is a lot of people willing to undercut the Blesta direct price by ~$50 and still not selling the license. I bet if Paul published the Blesta sales over time we would see that licenses were selling dramatically faster during Beta at the $99 rate than they are now. I myself could justify dropping $99 without knowing much about what I'm getting, just for the off-chance that it gets me away from WHMCS. Like many others who felt the same way, I ended up with a Blesta license long before I ever used the software. I personally know several people whom purchased during that $99 period and who can't yet make Blesta work for them so they are just sitting on the license and keeping an eye on Blesta's progress. It's no surprise to me that others whom purchased at $99 and Blesta didn't work for them are selling their licenses now. It's also no surprise to me that these licenses are sitting unsold, as I think the hosting community (at least) has more awareness about the state of Blesta than it did during the Beta. Any license "flippers" who purchased a lot of licenses with intent of resale only provided Blesta with more income during Beta. How is this any different than a reseller, really? They paid consumer rates for bulk at the time, betting on Blesta to become popular. It's almost like we should appreciate these guys, not belittle them. Now these guys are serving as Blesta salespeople out posting on forums, which can only help expand the active community. If solid demand for Blesta existed, their $99 licenses would be history by now. From my perspective, we have a whole lot of license holders and potential customers waiting to see Blesta progress before they make any decisions. I suspect as we see 3.1, 3.2, more modules, etc. come to light, and the current 30% direct discount ends, these licenses will begin to dry up. I say this because buyers on the fence will feel more comfortable, and because less people will be inclined to sell their license.

I like the sound of that, if you did a feature request I'd +1 it and you can't do that yet mate.

I'm looking for guidance in the domain reseller business. I need to offer .com.mx and .mx domains, among other LATAM ccTLDs. Competitive, sort by pricing: http://www.domainbox.com/pricing/ http://www.name.com/pricing http://www.dynadot.com/company/prices.html Absurd prices, but available: http://www.opensrs.com/site/services/domains/pricing https://www.srsplus.com/other-products-and-services/complete-pricing.aspx https://www.123-reg.co.uk/domain-names/cheap-domain-names.shtml I was on the impression that this is the only way I could offer domains, but maybe I'm wrong because I have no experience with it and don't know the details about how it works behind the curtains. For example, I don't see NameCheap offering a domain reseller account, but every major billing system has a NameCheap integration. So.. would it mean that we register the domain at our name and place our customer info in the Whois? Are there other ways to offer domain registry online with Blesta? Can I connect directly with each country's NIC and have a custom WHOIS? Or should I just wait and pray for a domain reseller integration that fits my needs?

Does anyone else think the fees charged by PayPal are rediculous? I let 2 customers pay that way and got charged way more in service fees than Bluepay charges me. $165USD payment was a $5.09 fee from PayPal.

Looks great, upgrade went well as all of them have.
