Blesta: Over A Year And Still Lacking Features...
niyo and one other reacted to Prime Media for a topic
So I purchased a Blesta license before v3 was released. Was very excited and was ready to move my entire business over, but then found out that a lot of the features we use were missing that made me change my mind. So I thought I'll try again sometime in the future after Blesta matures a bit more. The recent price increase by a competitor software was a push to reconsider Blesta again. But I am very disappointed at the progress! In recent times I've found our domain business is doing really well and now accounts for almost 40% of all sales. But the Blesta module for eNom has not been touched in years. I remember this being the main reason why we didn't switch. Fast forward a year +, and this is again the deal breaker for us. The eNom module is very limited and lacks very basic domain registration and management features, not enough for a business that has a growing domains division that accounts for 40% of all sales. Being a UK based company that manages a lot of .UK domains it still lacks more specific API field requirement options as well. It has already been raised and feature request submitted by another user over a year ago: http://www.blesta.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1990-enom-couk-registrations/ http://www.blesta.com/forums/index.php?/topic/2626-orguk-domains/ As you can see, no official reply posted and feature request has not been acknowledged. In the meantime, a competitor is really improving their domain / eNom module because they have already identified that domains are becoming big especially with hundreds of new gTDLs already released and more in the pipeline. Furthermore, they are adding NEW features. Features such as "Claim Your .UK" addon, domain name spinner, etc. etc. But Blesta development seems to have other plans and priorities lie elsewhere. This post isn't meant to be a complaint but rather the main reason why we are not using Blesta. It's competitor seems to be one step ahead. I keep on reading on other forums how Blesta is the best software and has ALL the features now but really we shouldn't kid ourself, it still is lacking some basic stuff, especially domain registrar modules. I'll come back again in a years time and see whats changed and if theres any new developments. /end2 points -
Im a BIG supporter for the new Domain Management system, we need badly, but for now we can close our eyes a litle, all of us developpers are also helping a lot on the Domain functionality, so if you need any special requriment just ask us to help you add it I think WHMCS 6.0 will be the turnaround for blesta did you check WebHostingTalk foruns recently lol, (i have a broken rib, and i can't laugh because it hurts eheh, but I cant stop it) For all visitores viweing this foruns, try blesta for free, and judge for your self the power in your hands2 points

Hey people, this is yet another alternative client login theme. Clean and simple design. Color based on Blesta's color: #1370a8 and #8dc248 No changes made to blesta's theme css. It uses custom css file "login.css" Instead of using company text "<?php $this->Html->_($company->name);?>", it will use theme's logo which is: <?php if (!empty($theme_logo)) { ?> <img src="<?php $this->Html->_($theme_logo);?>" alt="Logo" /> <?php } elseif (!empty($blesta_logo)) { ?> <img src="<?php $this->Html->_($blesta_logo);?>" alt="Blesta" /> <?php } else { ?> <img src="<?php echo $this->view_dir;?>images/logo.png" alt="Blesta" /> <?php } ?> I also changes lang output for $lang['ClientLogin.index.link_resetpassword'] = "Forget password?"; and $lang['ClientLogin.index.field_rememberme'] = "Keep me logged in"; Register at https://whtheme.com/billing/order/signup/index/register and after logged in, you'll be able to download. Thanks. Thanks and enjoy. Ken1 point

Don't forget to configure your SSL for stronger security! See https://mozilla.github.io/server-side-tls/ssl-config-generator/ to help you decide on what level of security you want to employ. The trade-off that comes with the strongest of security is dropping support for older browsers. For most of Blesta's markets, I suspect you won't be breaking things for very many customers if you go with "modern" security, and chances of breaking things for *any* customers are slim if you go with "intermediate" security. "Old" security includes support for SSLv3 which is known to be broken. Do not use the "old" option unless you absolutely have to. (Warning: if you haven't configued OCSP stapling or HSTS before, I strongly recommend you test them on a non-production server first, as screwing the config up make your site inaccessible... potentially for the duration of max-age. Use a very small max-age while testing.) The config generator mentions a "dhparam.pem." You can generate a DH parameter file with openssl dhparam -out dhparam.pem 2048 You want at least 2048 bits in light of the Logjam attack. We force SSL for all connections to Blesta. (Also, if you want to support ipv6, you'll need to specify that you want to listen on ipv6 interfaces.) server { listen 80; listen [::]:80 ipv6only=on; # This last flag can fix some issues nginx can have with binding to ports. server_name mydomain.com; return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri; #Force SSL } server { listen 443; #SSL Only listen [::]:443 ipv6only=on; #For ipv6 server_name mydomain.com; # The rest of the config goes down here } EDIT: If you want to be paranoid (e.g. security bonus points) your config directory should be readable by PHP, but not nginx. Similarly, your SSL certs should be readable by nginx, but not PHP. On top of that, your DB should be protected by your firewall - there's no reason for it to be listening to any requests except local ones. One more thing: you can tell nginx to ignore requests for sensitive files or folders. location ~ ^/(cache|config|errors|helpers|internal|language|lib|index.php/api|api) { deny all; return 404; } # If you're using your API with some kind of external service, you can remove those last two. # If that service has a static IP, you can add "allow x.x.x.x;" on the previous line, where x.x.x.x is the service's IP.1 point

I'm pushing for the mass mailer plugin after 3.5, prior to 4.0. That's my goal. If there are no big surprises, then hopefully we can stick to that.1 point
-
I think that is one of the issues that will be resolved when the definitions for v3.5 are added to the translator upon its release. Some expected data is missing which accounts for that error.1 point
-
We haven't forgotten about the mass mailer, domain manager, or refactoring coupons. I'm frustrated these aren't done yet either, but if they were, then other features would be missing instead. In all likelyhood the mass mailer will be the next major new feature after v3.5, but we still have more tasks to prioritize to determine what the next version will contain.1 point

GoGetSSL brought this issue up with us as well. Our module retrieves all products from their API using the API script they provide in their documentation, so I'm not sure yet what the reason is behind not being able to view all products. You should go to edit the package so that products load. This will make an API call, and the raw input/output will be logged and shown at the top of the list under [Tools] -> [Logs]. Click on the table row for that entry, and a list of the Input/Output data will be available. Look for something that starts with "<api-username>|ssl-products".1 point

[Module] Proxmox Reloaded - Beta Release
supadupa reacted to Blesta Addons for a topic
added a server to the proxmox module and it worked fine then i found proxmox reloaded so i uninstalled the old proxmox module and installed the new one and i haven't been able to add any servers since. enable debug mode on module, and see the output result .1 point -
Why should a customer have to cough up these development costs, when Blesta itself advertises eNom support on their front page? There aren't any "only works with .com and .net domains, not with .co.uk, .eu, .ca, etc." restrictions listed there, are there? Doing your own development make senses if you want a registrar not already supported, or an exotic feature. It shouldn't be necessary for core functionality.1 point

Hi Guys, We're working currently on a CMS plugin for Blesta which allows you to have your site entirely based on Blesta without any need for additional CMS software such as WordPress, or even PHP includes files, and we would like to hear from you if you're interested in such plugin and what features you want to have in this plugin. - Currently the plugin does a very extremly basic job which is creating pages with title, content and with specifying the name of the page in the URL, e.g: (www.example.com/example-page), just like the screen shot attached. Thank you guys in advance1 point

Blesta's Ordering System
EidolonHost reacted to Michael for a topic
Oh bugger sorry misread :L late nights again don't do well with me haha. Most people like me like confirmation pages so you can see what you are ordering fully and scan over it, find out how much tax / vat your paying and other stuff and the total. Same with shopping online they do it for https://groceries.morrisons.com/ and they try and flog more and then you get the full trolley then the payment, and you also get a email to confirm everything. It's just standard.1 point -
Integrating Plugins And Such To Client Dashboard?
EidolonHost reacted to Michael for a question
Put !important; on them and also put the css file below the blesta files so it loads up last and overwrites Blesta's or you can simply just edit the client theme colours on Settings > Look and Feel > Client > Non default > Header colours.1 point -

Blesta: Over A Year And Still Lacking Features...
Michael reacted to EidolonHost for a topic
There's always ModulesBakery. They charge reasonable development prices. I'm sure they'd be happy to develop an eNom module for you if you ask them to. Or better yet, why not crowd-source the cost of the module development with ModulesBakery?1 point -
Domain + Hosting Order Template
serge reacted to Blesta Addons for a topic
Yes , is hard . every market has it own concept of use , and it own tructure of use . we don't need the client ot be losed in the order form if they click other product . also what is the meaning of other product ? normally is hosting industry , domain + hosting , or just domain or just hosting , any other product related should be addons (privacy , ssl, dedictated ip , ...ect ) . i will not tell you see how competitors done this , but test any hosting provider that use it own system to see how it should work , like OVH , HOSTDIME , HOSTPAPA ....ect all they let you 1 - choose the host package, 2 - select domain (register/transfer/use your own) , 3 - select addons ; 4 - then registration and payment . OR 1 - select domain (register/transfer/use your own) , 2 - choose the host package, 3 - select addons ; 4 - then registration and payment . and to be clear , we want help blesta in improuving the aspect of thier mecanism , we are not againts IT.1 point -
Domain + Hosting Order Template
PauloV reacted to Blesta Addons for a topic
the actual looking/structure is not adecuate for domain+hosting market . Order other products != use your domain . with a simple search in this forum i found a lot of thread talking about the same subject , selling domains + hosting with blesta has some obstacle . really blesta shoud take care of this subject , the main market for billing sotware is the hosting industries . blesta is perfect now for selling other products .1 point -
Our competitor hasn't released an official feature update since we released version 3.0 a year and a half ago (5.3 was a big bugfix release that didn't follow semantic versioning). Many people are disappointed with their v6 beta. We are about to release 3.5, and have added many features since our initial release. We are pushing forward with needed features, but it takes time. Better support for domains is becoming a big priority as well as a few other items we'll be addressing soon. Thanks for your feedback, and for taking the time to register and post. There are a lot of people who are not happy with our competitor and are waiting for xyz to transfer to Blesta. After each release more and more people switch, so we know we are headed the right direction. Cheers1 point

Yeah for only 2 years in development from the launch date you can't expect it to be fully filled with features... "Rome wasn't built in a day" and they had more than 3 builders. "Slow and steady wins the race" remember that from the tortoise and the hare story book. Blesta has grown a lot but if you don't follow the development you don't see what has changed. Just because one module you like hasn't been updated doesn't mean the development is lacking features. 3.5 is aimed at improving the SolusVM Module and the configuration, etc. 3.4 was aimed at Client security (Two factor Auth), Knowledgebase, etc. Change Log here. 3.3 was aimed at Multicraft, fraudlabspro, pro forma invoices, price override, copy packages, pro-rota, etc. Change Log here. 3.2 was aimed at converted client area to bootstrap, client docs plugin, select template per company, improve stripe, etc. Change Log here. Can't remember what was changed in 3.1 as I can't find much in the change log to tell you.1 point

Thanks all! Just trying to find a balance for blesta login which I think this is quite good to start off. This is another one with full background image. Gradient with blurry effect. CSS transition is included as well. This login suits any blurry background that you can find online. Thanks and Enjoy! I will upload the link soon. Here's the full size background image login theme for blesta1 point
