Hey guys, I have worked on so many different sites that use WHMCS for the billing and administration, it was only last week where I decided to work on a small reseller for myself to get some experience with client management (have a friend helping with the technical). Neither of us had heard of Blesta but the reseller offered us a licence for it and well, we couldn't be happier. The script is amazing, we love the default layout, the way everything works and just how damn easy it is to use. We're now a week in customising the website and Blesta and i've had to consult the manual twice, both times it's been a simple issue of me not looking close enough. Then the topics on this forum, especially the marketplace, it's honestly amazing to see a group of people work together and contribute so much. My only regrets is not finding Blesta before, so kudos to everyone here, I shall definitely be suggesting this script over other billing software from now on. (Bit of an odd first thread but I felt it was needed seeing how impressed we were about the script)

Oooh. You mean the other portions of your tutorial. Gotcha. I will be messing with this, yes. I plan on doing that when I head back home for the night and work on the dev server hosted there.

Hey, good to see you both. Been staying busy?

Do you have the GD library available to PHP?

Awesome, and thanks Mike! (It's good to have someone in the UK on the forums while it's dark here )

Don't worry, you helped me, it was the cron job, I did not set them up properly . It's solved now, thanks tho.

We have some agents whom we would only want to have access to only specific group of Clients and be able to manage their Invoices, Upgrades and Downgrades. Unlike the way it is now that each staff can have access to every client account.

this would be an excellent addition +1

Worked. Thanks.

+1 ... good additions

In The Netherlands postal codes are in the format "1234 AB" That doesn't prevent the system from getting confused if there are additional character codes added to the address though. I know, because the postal services here attach a sticker like this to your mail if delivery has been delayed, because it had to be manually processed: Occasionally receive those on mailings from the USA, where the sender's software added some kind of invented state code (like XX) to the address on the same line as the postal code. The sticker suggests you contact the sender and tell him to put a properly formatted address on the envelop next time.

Would be good for account managers so +1 to this.

The meta data is added during a POST request from the manage page of the module. You would need to check the POST data being submitted from that page.

It's the javascript then try moving the JS for Blesta and your integration around.

The read notification is annoying. I never, ever, ever send read receipts. Some mail servers like Mandrill can make use of message tagging and track opens, which are useful for statistical purposes for various types of emails. It would be interesting to be able to add special headers to outgoing email to enable some of these features on a per-template basis.

Writing credentials to the database doesn't mean the credentials worked. Would be nice to have a test script that sends and confirms SMTP authentication.

Is the smoke coming out of the module black or white? Or could you be a tiny bit more specific, than "doesn't work"?

Admin passwords in WHMCS are interestingly slightly less secure than their client passwords. They are MD5, and can be supported by enabling legacy password support in config/blesta.php. Client passwords on the other hand are salted, and Cody says they can be supported if we make a core change to Blesta to support both legacy MD5 and the ones WHMCS uses. We haven't decided if this is something we want to do yet.
