That's certainly a possibility. It's just not something we've given a lot of thought to yet, because not many people have asked about it but I can definitely see it being a useful feature.

I don't think there will be any issues with importing in terms of making configuration changes first. It's best if there is no customer data though, and the importer will install the necessary extensions. However you do it, you should do a dry run to ensure everything works as expected. I also recommend keeping a database backup from the initial fresh installation, and one post-configuration so that you can easily roll it back. If you buy another hosting company and want to import that data, you would be able to import it easily into a new company within the same Blesta installation. Importing into the same company could be an issue because the same customer numbers are likely to already exist and would cause an error. There may be other issues as well, and Cody could elaborate on those.

We recommend marking the package and client as inactive rather than deleting them.

We have plans to implement Net D, see CORE-492. It's tentatively assigned to v3.3, but this is not very likely.

I think he means reinstall the support manager only. Not sure why you'd have issues deleting via POP, unless it's related to your particular mail server. I suggest setting it to mark as read and see if it does that. If so, that may be a good temporary solution as it will not import tickets again that are marked read.

It'll be around $100, most likely. Our license manage is better than anything comparable on the market today, in terms of inability to circumvent without nulling it in the code. It'll be out soon, not sure we need anymore testers at the moment.

Chances are good that your web server doesn't allow files to be written above its document root for security reasons. This could be a feature of Cloud Linux, or something else.

Plugins can create navigation items.. perhaps a plugin that allows you to create navigation items that point wherever you want them to?

We were calling this service price override, and it's assigned to CORE-747 scheduled for 3.3. This one is becoming a big priority for us.

Assigned to CORE-1093

Invoices are always in PDF format, so I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

You can also clear the cache by editing and saving the affected Staff Group. Did this resolve it?

Are you running the official support manager plugin that we ship with Blesta, or the modified version? Have you changed anything, like the date/time format in the settings, or upgraded/downgraded anything on the server?

Most people are running older versions of the Ioncube loaders, and PHP 5.5 supported builds of Blesta are not backwards compatible with these legacy loaders. Additionally, Blesta must be encoded for PHP 5.3 or 5.4 support in order to work with PHP 5.5, per this thread on Ioncube's forums, quoted below -- But, the minimum requirement for Blesta is PHP 5.1.3, so we have been releasing builds that are compatible for the majority (PHP 5.1.3 through 5.4.x), but not compatible with PHP 5.5. Adoption rates for PHP 5.5 are increasing, and we recognize the need to support it. At this time, due to Ioncube's limitations, we would be required to have 2 separate builds in order to support PHP 5.1.3-5.4.x and PHP 5.5. We are releasing this hotfix to allow PHP 5.5 support for Blesta 3.1.2. The zip contains only the 3 files we encode, to protect licensing. If you are not running Blesta 3.1.2 DO NOT apply the hotfix. blesta-3.1.2-php5.5-hotfix.zip If you are doing a fresh install, first download blesta-3.1.2.zip and overwrite the files in 3.1.2 from the hotfix above before attempting the installation. If you are planning to upgrade your existing server to PHP 5.5 and have Blesta 3.1.2 installed, overwrite the files in the hotfix above after you upgrade your PHP.

I've created a task for it, CORE-1091 and it can be tracked there. It is tentatively assigned to v3.3, but it's not guaranteed to be in that release.

Added as CORE-1090

We have had a similar experience. We operated as a sole proprietorship for years before incorporating and it was never an issue, customers never brought it up except to ask for W-9's and issue 1099's. Running a sole-prop in CA can be the absolute best option for a small business. We're incorporated in California and have to pay $800/yr, every year to the state, not counting taxes on profit. That's the cost of admittance, and many small businesses can't afford it. There are lots of reasons why a business may want to be a sole-prop, LLC, S-Corp, or C-Corp. My suggestion is that anyone starting a new business should do some research, understand the different legal entities and make a decision that is in their best interest. What is best for one person isn't necessarily best for another, but if you understand your options you can make a better decision.

There will always be bad players, whether malicious or negligent. Unfortunately, it will result in calls for government regulation. Rather, I suggest people do their research on exchanges before doing business with them, and diversify. Never put all your coins in the same place. Don't leave large deposits in exchanges, transfer them out into wallets you control. Never use a hosted wallet.

My recommendation is to start local. Friends, family, local businesses. Treat them well and they will tell other people. Do not underestimate word of mouth. You won't see results overnight, but you're building a lasting business, right? People like to do business with those they feel like they can trust, and people trust their friends advice far more than a Google ad (Don't advertise on Google).

We are aiming for a beta in a matter of weeks.

Mike, did you change your invoice draft format? DRAFT-{num} is the default. I'm still not able to duplicate this in my environment, can anyone else confirm?

It's unresolved, but it's currently a blocker for 3.2. I discussed this one with Cody last week, and he seemed confident that it wouldn't take much time to implement and that it is likely to be included in 3.2. This is assigned to CORE-852 and can be tracked there.

Interesting idea. I think this would work better if services were displayed on their own page though. In the future, I'd like the client area to be more customizable, staff can determine which widgets should be displayed as well as which pages. Then, the services widget could be disabled, and a services page could be enabled that categorizes them by group and has more advanced filtering options.

If it needs to appear on all invoices, you might consider putting it in the Terms section. Settings > Billing/Payment > Invoice Customization.

Is that the only error? Normally this error will occur because of a previous error being output to the browser first.
