the existing thread is over a year old without process.
Still think it would be better to bump the existing threads, instead of creating a new one.
Not 100% but round about 90% of our customers agree to SEPA direct debit.
So you do support multiple payment methods for the other 10%, in which case I think I misunderstood your comment.
In Germany it is absolutely normal to pay your contracts via direct debit.
For consumers it is pretty common here (the Netherlands) as well.
Not so much for companies. Often the person placing the order needs approval from someone else to get the payment done, and wants an invoice first for that.

is there any gateway for this in other billing software ?
Billing systems that were written for the European market (e.g. wefact.nl) typically have a module for it by default.
For most others there are third-party extensions.

Existing thread: http://www.blesta.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1983-extra-fields-for-sepa-direct-debit-european-ach/
P.S.: I have no use case to use multiple payment methods. Normally the customer use only one, isn't it ?100% of your customers agree to SEPA direct debit?
Here most corporate customers would refuse that, and demand an invoice they can pay by normal bank transfer instead.
-
That why it's will be very logic Blesta method/function for update order/invoice status only rely on notification.
Problem is not all gateways do notifications.
Some require polling the status of the transaction initiated after some time if the user wasn't redirected back.
-
Think you should do something about the pdf size of each invoice before implementing this.
The -only embed the unicode characters actually used in the invoice- issue.
-
it's a really hard subject, because PayPal don't allow it
Only if you are American.
Paypal Europe does allow them.
Not withstanding that charging a surcharge is usually more pain than it is worth.
Keep in mind that you also have to collect sales tax over any extra charges likes this, and if the invoice was generated already (e.g. when it is a renewal invoice, and you didn't know the payment method when that was created), you may have to write out a separate second invoice just for the charges, as you are not allowed to change any existing invoice...

Invalid domainName For Given ContactType
Perhaps Blesta is trying to set admin-c, tech-c and billing-c while those do not exist for .co.uk domains?
Those should be set to contact ID -1 according to logicboxes API documentation.
http://manage.logicboxes.com/kb/answer/752
The Administrative Contact of the domain name.
NotePass -1 for the following TLDs:
.EU
.NZ
.RU
.UK
Or perhaps it is not using the right contact type as registrant.
Other modules (like eNom) also make the mistake of only having special handling for 2nd-level .uk domains, while most of these things apply equally to .co.uk.
-
is better to clone the module and change it , because if you change the core module every upgrade you need to revert you changes and maybe you can't use the universal module for other use .
Does have other downsides though.
All the modules being totally independent are a pain if you want to translate Blesta to another language.
You end up with each module having e.g. 100 translatable strings, will only 10 are really specific to that module.
Would rather see inheritance being used more.
And it would also be nice if it was possible to assign more than one module to a service (e.g. one main module that handles the actual server provisioning, and a completely different one to offer monitoring through Observium)

Regardless if the connection is SSL or not, GET parameters are not part of the encrypted payload in TCP/IP (they are part of the packet header).
That's incorrect.
Only the hostname is sent unencrypted (by the SNI TLS extension, so the server knows which certificate it should use, if more than one site shares the IP).
All HTTP communication including URL and request headers does is sent over encrypted SSL.
Only problems are the GET parameters ending up in web browser history, and that URLs including GET parameters are usually logged in web server logs.
Do note that this module is not the only one with security flaws regarding to GET parameters.
When you enable Blesta's two-factor-authentication it submits your secret master seed code -of which all TOTP codes derive from- as GET parameter to chart.googleapis.com in order to generate a QR code of it...
Reported over a year ago, but apparently it was not considered worth fixing.

This is fine for products less than 150€ (there is an exception for <= 150€ allowing us to just write something like "prices include 19% tax" on the invoice while NOT printing the amount of taxes).
Note that in other EU countries "simplified invoices" -aka cash register receipts- are only allowed for small purchases in retail stores, and not for distance sales.
Even if that does is allowed in Germany, you may still have a problem if you have a single foreign customer.
-
Screenshots sure look nice.
But I do think you should at least document that:
- FTP function is not implemented in module itself, but outsourced to https://file-manager.cyandark.com/ meaning the password the customer enters is sent there.
- SSH function is not implemented in module itself, but outsourced to https://ssh.cyandark.com/ meaning user's password is sent there.
- Furthermore the SSH function submits the user's password as GET parameter, meaning it can end up in the web browser history...
<iframe style="width: 100% !important; height: 500px; margin-top: -10px; border: 1px solid #ccc; backround: #000;" border="0" src="https://ssh.cyandark.com/?host=<?= base64_encode($host) ?>&puerto=<?= base64_encode($port) ?>&user=<?= base64_encode($user) ?>&password=<?= base64_encode($pass) ?>"></iframe>
I do not doubt your good intentions, but I do am pretty uncomfortable with the concept of sending customer's passwords through any third-party...
Not a big fan of including resources from external sites either (like "@import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Inconsolata);")
Some browsers like IE and Firefox allow Javascript inside CSS. If external site is compromised, so will your panel be.

Post_to is not empty it get the live or sandbox URL .
Ok.
Thought that may not be always the case, because of the ifSet()
==
is like a callback not recieved ...
You did include your class name in the callback URL, so that the request gets routed to your class?
As in:
$callbackurl = Configure::get("Blesta.gw_callback_url").Configure::get("Blesta.company_id")."/".strtolower(get_class($this))."/";In case you are not able to find your problem, you may also able to use Paypal Express through our Omnipay module.
-
$this->log($this->ifSet($post_to), serialize($response), "input", false);
I don't know if that's the problem here, but if you use Blesta's log function with the first (url) parameter empty -which could happen here if $post_to is empty-, nothing gets logged and it terminates the script with a fatal Error: a:1:{s:3:"url";a:1:{s:5:"empty";s:12:"Missing URL.";}} exception.
We have had an issue with that as well.
In our module log() was being called with empty first parameter only when run under crontab. One of those places where nobody sees error messages being printed, and nothing got logged.
-
the conditional logic was made inside the client add fields in the module .
Do you have special needs such as that the fields need to be generated dynamically, that you put it there?
If not, it might be easier to add the conditional logic code to the configurable options instead.
As in:
- add a couple extra columns to "package_options" table. E.g. "depends_on_option_name" "depends_on_option_value"
- adds some code to generate the Javascript based on the database information and attach it to the form with $fields->setHtml() in app/models/package_options.php PackageOptions::getFields() - or set the right attributes of the individual form elements there if using a solution like conditionize.js.
Downside does is that it requires changing core files, but chances are you need to do that anyway.
-
the same logic that was used by boss ( Naja7host) used for old work , the probleme is the price and not the javascript logic code .
Can already add price tags to options: http://docs.blesta.com/display/user/Creating+Configurable+Options
-
I myself have basically 0 idea how one would even implement conditional logic here.
If Javascript is not your thing, there are standard jQuery plugins to simplify that and let you describe form dependencies in the form HTML.
-
Enom supports them and even the UK now.
Hmm, you are right, there do is some code.
Doesn't always seem to work though.
E.g. if you use "add service" as admin, and do everything well, the boxes to ask for the extra info never appear:
Do can provoke them to appear, by making an error in this screen, "forgetting" to select the "term", and pressing "continue":
And .co.uk still does not work even then.
The code only seems to cover name.uk, not name.co.uk
-
- Domain registration (including working correctly with .ca)
Yes, it's a Country code included in the module by default.
But can the module actually register the domain, like the TS asked, or only check its availability?
Note that .ca is one of those domain extensions that require some extra information to be filled in for registration. And somebody else reported extra information fields didn't work for .co.uk...
-
Wait a minute, don't you have reseller functionality?
Nope.
Too little demand.
-
I think what I'll do later is see if it's possible to work with other module devs to call other modules for OS reloads.
Maybe NOC-PS's module? And if I recall correctly, but I may be misremembering, Blesta does have an IPAM module of a sort... but I don't use it.
Do note that our NOC-PS software is only suitable for providers that have their own servers and network, and not for resellers that resell servers from another provider.

You check out QuadraNET's API? It's here.
Looks like something they made themselves.
They stated themselves directly to me via ticket that they use Ubersmith's APIs.
That they call the Ubersmith API internally to generate the bandwidth graph you asked for, and pass it thru, does not mean you are using the Ubersmith API.
-
Hmm... that could very well be the case. I know you can extend Ubersmith API functionality to a degree.
Don't think they extended it, but added something on top.
As in: you <-> Quadranet API <-> Ubersmith API / other backend systems for the action requested.
I have my doubts your module is talking to Ubersmith directly at all.
We actually did talk with Ubersmith about having a development copy of Ubersmith installed so we could work on the Ubersmith API module for general use.Did you make it clear to them that you want to write a module that CUSTOMERS from providers that run Ubersmith can use to RESELL dedicated servers?
As opposed to a module for providers running Ubersmith themselves?
-
Yeah. They expanded it. When? Not sure, but v2 of the API does all of this and more, iirc. Whoops, looks like version 3 is out now...
Wonder if that isn't something Quadranet added on top, rather than normal Ubersmith functionality.
Things like (null) routing do not exist in their public API documentation
And IP assignment used to cover the administrative part only (marking them in-use in the database), rather than the technical part (configuring router, so that packets end up at the right server).
Also, had a look at the WHMCS module and basically noped when I realized that it was using direct SQL queries.WHMCS did not bother to document their SQL helper functions until recently, and PDO was not guaranteed to be available on the average WHMCS installation either in the past.So practically all older third-party modules call mysql_query directly. -
Ironically, I have a project right now with ModulesBakery that's currently on hold for developing such a module. It ties into Ubersmith... well, the providers that utilize Ubersmith such as QuadraNet have enabled Ubersmith's APIs.
If you'd like to have access to such a module that makes use of the Ubersmith API for dedicated servers... I'd be happy to get it open-sourced instead of copyrighted and locked to our company only.
Ubersmith's API for dedicated servers?
Is that something new?
They did not offer anything more advanced than power on/power off, and switch port data traffic graphing in the past.

Wonder if "ordering parts" doesn't scare some customers away.
They might be concerned you do not have any spare parts either if something breaks.
Sometimes it is better to have a little less accurate status tracking.
Payment Gateway Sepa
in Support
Posted
Implementing it as MerchantAch module should be fine.
Just need to have some extra input fields in the "add account" screen as mentioned before.
SEPA direct debit needs a couple fields more than American ACH.
