Hello All , i will start in coding Quotes System plugin for the community , and i need some ideas feedbacks . 1 - Why Quotes System ? Quotes is something related to the productivite and add a plus for the admins , also all the big companies use it , also some companies that offer services (design, coding, mobile APP.... ) with hourly rate (like me) , and need every time send a qoute to the clients then the client accept we creat a invoice for them . i want to make this step as easy as possible . 2 - How much cost this new plugin ? Is totally Free , but if you consider it worth , you can donate for it . 3 - Where expected to be released ? first we need to make a simple Quotes system that do the trick , then we will extend it to do more functionality and task and maybe automated task , so the simple thing we begin with it the near future date is released . 4 - what i have a TODO list ? i have 2 TODO list , one if for the first release , and second is for next released versions . i will group ideas based in the easy implementation and the basic feature. TODO list 1 : - Admins can add/edit/delete Quotes .(i'm not sure if i use close instead of delete) - Create Quote for the client . - Client can view Quote from the client panel . - Cleint can accept or reject the Quote . - Admins convert accepted Quote to invoice not needed , as the system convert it auto . - client can view the quotes assigned to them (accepted or closed or rejected or expired) TODO list 2 : - cronjob to convert a accepted quote to invoice . - Clients can receive the quote via email as PDF , they can also download it as PDF. (implemented) - Comments both for client and staff under the qoute (threaded reply/conversation). - Devide Quote in two invoice after accept (for prepayment ,and after final work) - Create Quote for non clients , they can view it with a unique url . - Store Client info in the quotes for history . That is all . any one has an idea to implement it , i will add it to my one of TODO list .

i agree with you in this . personally i can't switch to v3 until now just for 3 reason -Domain Management -Multilanguages -Hosting Order Form i know v3 is better than v2.5 , but i can't move from system that i have adapted it to my use (v2.5) , to a new one than i need wait fix's or spend mounth for adding and customizing . time is matter here .

Hi, would be good to have a basic quote system in blesta as core or plugin, thats the only thing i like from whm.. i know blesta have draft, but would be cool a quote system and then if client accepts we can convert quote to invoice and/or split as needed just like this post i made in the past http://www.blesta.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1274-blesta-have-option-to-create-quoteestimates/ i dont know what u guys think about this idea thank you

Hello sktan .. i have laready worked in the paypal express checkout gateway , but i have not finished it , but almost all of the work is done . checkit here http://pastebin.com/HELhSphK it already was designed to support incontext payment , but as i have told before , no time was to finish it . if you can complete the worked we can build the incontext checkout also .

from my opinion in the blesta forum there are 2 groups ; first Group , is satisfied with blesta and need more plugins like mass mailer and affiliate system and ...ect , the most of them not selling domains and hosting . second group , is dreaming with the refacor of domain management and better implementation of order form of hosting , all them are a hosting proviers . blesta team, maybe are divided with them , what is priority and wich can alive without what they request ? blesta team is hearing more from who can sponsor the next feature , v3.5 was a lot of features in term of solusvm and configurable options , all this features was sponsored , and i see the v 4.0.0 has a new raod of EU law with sponsored features also . my suggestion for blesta team , shouldn't always listen to sponsored features , because some task are from v3.0.0 and not yet implemented , and if blesta will add only features that are sponsored , because other has been payed for the licence in hope of blesta can correct add what he promise in thier tasks . so i will vote for the domain management . is priority thatn any other task , even if EU law support .

Any update on this? A quote system whould be much appreciated. Renaming drafts is fine, but no way to email to the customer, other than PDF download, then email manually.
