I've spent the last few months wiring my house, so I thought I'd share my experience and the process. The Goal My house was built in the 60's, so had no structured wiring of any kind. The telephone wires were 4 untwisted pair, which predated CAT3 by about 20 years. Lukily, just about every room in the house had a telephone drop, so I figured I could replace each drop with CAT6. Thinking about it some more, since I didn't already have cable to each room I figured I might as well bundle that in as well. The goal for phase one was to add 6 drops, each with 2 CAT6 and 1 RG6. Each drop was to terminate in the coat closet due to its central location in the house. This would become my network closet. The Materials 1000' CAT6 1000' RG6 quad sheild CCS (this was a mistake, more on that below) 100' RG6 dual shield pure copper 100' CAT5e 10 pack of 4-slot keystone wall plates 200 pack of CAT6 connectors and matching boots 25 pack of CAT6 keystones 8 pack of RG6 keystones 10 pack of blank keystones 10 pack of low voltage wall inserts Hinged 4U wall mount rack 24-port CAT5e patch panel 24-port CAT6 patch panel 2 desk grommets (2 3/8") 1 RG6 4-port splitter 1 RG6 8port directv splitter RG6 external enclosure Tools: Punch down tool RG6 compression tool RG6 cutter RG6 stripper Wire strippers (only needed to strip the CAT5e to connect to the telephone NID) Philips head screwdriver The Process I planned the following drops: Master bedroom Bedroom 1 Bedroom 2 Bedroom 3 Kitchen Living Room I would also neet the following utility drops: Network closet to external enclosure for CATV and SATV utilities Network closet to Telephone NID This is what I was replacing at each drop: I estimated the distance between the drop location and the network closet, then added 5 to 10 feet to ensure excess, and in some cases, avoid electrical lines in the attic. I cut the RG6 and CAT6 from their spool and labeled each, then attached to the existing telephone line and climbed in the attic to pull through. Lucky for me, the following was true: In the 60's low voltage wires did not have to be stapled down. 2 CAT6 and 1 RG6 is just thin enough to fit through the 1/2" opening already drilled in the joist. Due to the sloe in the roof it would have been impossible to increase the diameter of these holes Punched down Compression fitting RG6 quad shield CCS was a bad choice for a couple reasons. First, Directv requires pure copper for the SWIM. That's why I had to get another 100' of RG6. Second, manipulating quad shield CCS is super difficult. That stuff is rigid. I wasn't able to pull RG6 through Bedroom 1 because that drop went down and made a 90 degree turn through a stud. The quad shield couldn't handle it. While RG6 CCS is fine for video, it sucks for pulling, and has the added limitation of more resistance than pure copper. If I did this again I would have gone pure copper dual shield. The finished product Next I drilled two 2 and 3/8" holes to drop into the network closet. I inserted the rubberized desk grommets to prevent insulation from falling out of the ceiling, and pulled through. The CAT5e is gray. I daisy chained this across the first 8 ports of the CAT5e patch panel. This allows me to patch through telephone to any one of my drops. Each telephone port supports up to 4 lines. You can see here I'm patching the phone into my office. After running the CAT5e for the telephone (and my internet). My speed changed from 7.26 Mbps / 0.92 Mbps to 7.28 Mbps / 2.20 Mbps.

Looking good Can you add an extra option to be able to publish by installed language also? Thos way we can anounce in every language and each client can read on there own language

this is the admin view of the plugin http://host-image.net/v.php?id=71102annonce_admin.png

Phase 2 will be running electrical to the network closet so I can install a switch, router, and other equipment.

No problem, happy to help.

You can disable notifications for Reseller Club In the reseller client area; Settings > System notifications > Email Under 'Mail Sent to your Customers' - Disable this. In doing so, you can then simply have Blesta take care of all your email correspondence and have control over what login link get's sent to your customers.

We have found the problem and fixed for you The problem was that the default session directory was not writable, so it can not store session. To any user that has the same problem, here is the fix: open the file: [blesta instalation folder]/plugins/live_chat/vendores/blc/index.php After the line 9: @ini_set('session.cookie_httponly',1); add this: @ini_set('session.save_path','/tmp'); // to set the default session directory Hope that help outhers Regards, PV

thanks for the share . the protect privacy need a custom module to be attached to the logicbox module . we are looking for solution to achieve this task . Solution 1 : 1 - separate module (should be package just for addons ) 2 - integrated with logicbox ( the probleme we have in this it should have a separate price from the module it self (desisbled = 0 , enabled = 2$ ) we have successfullt added it to the logicbox module ,now user can enable/disable protect privacy from client side area . but we have not released it tothe public , as we know the pricavy will not be free in the future , so it can produce a probleme for reseller , as the client activate the privacy and not paying for it . sorry , we can't publish it now , until we have a logical working solution .

app/views/client/bootstrap/structure.pdt contains the header & footer for the client area. If you make a lot of changes, you can clone the bootstrap directory with a different name, and select the new one under Settings > Company > Look and Feel > Template.

One thing I'd like to see also, is a "test email" option where I can send a copy of the email to myself, perhaps randomly selecting a customer whos details will be used. This way, if I have a stupid error in the email I can correct it before sending it to everyone.

That may be possible, language definitions work similarly. I'll discuss with the team.
