  1. Eu (Proforma) Invoicing Critical Bug

    in Bugs

    Posted

    mostly for this last point, is solved by archiving the pdf, as saying it's impossible to change detail in invoice after being paid can never be solved, as even direct database access can change it, so I think it's more the method of archiving and stamp the pdf (sign it with certificate), that can solve this last point, but it's maybe out of the scope of Blesta.

     

     

    Only can be changed in direct database if data is uncrypted ;) Blesta has a function that encrypts all data so it can be handy in this case. Encrypt all client data on Array, is better this way.

     

     

    Exemple:

     

    If you have an PDF sored on file, and some change the data on database, it will not help, because you cannot find the file (if you alter the database file link), you can also generate a new Certified PDF on the fly, or even delet the file accidently or the file go corrputed, but if you have all data encrypted on database. you can search data and it will be very dificult to change data on database, and you will be able to generate PDF on the fly.

     

    And because we can only auto back by default database in Blesta, if something goes rong you have backups to regenerate everything :)

     

    I propose to save encrypted client data on Array in database, also, but not mandatory in my point of view, generate a file and save it, if the file dosent exists, Blesta will generate a new one, if not, blesta will link to the existing file :)

  2. Eu Invoicing ? Proforma Yes But Not Eu Complient ?

    in Pre-Sales Questions

    Posted

    Well on a competitor's forum I've seen threads go on unanswered for years?

     

    Dont compare what is incomparable :)

     

    Blesta = Great Script/Great Comunity/Great Forum

    Outhers (WHMCS/ClientExec/HostbillAPP) = No Comment

     

    Please Lisencecart dont make "smoke" and dont make "excuses", we all make bad decisions, its human, acept that ;)

     

    @wanah: If you need help on making the changes you ask please PM me and I will do it for free, dont abandon Blesta "Boat" just yet ;)

     

    Peace to all :P

  3. Eu Invoicing ? Proforma Yes But Not Eu Complient ?

    in Pre-Sales Questions

    Posted

    @Licensecart: I have to agree with wanah, blesta team should view and answer presales questions. 3 days without oficial answer gives bad image to blesta :)

    Thats why I have answer because wanah was waiting for an answer :)

    There is no excuse for this even for Blesta 3.5 busy day. 24 houra is OK to wait but more than that gives some people something to think about ;)

    @wanah: Dont worry this situation is not normal and im shure you will be amazed what blesta team and all of us will do for it and for help you ;)

  4. Eu Invoicing ? Proforma Yes But Not Eu Complient ?

    in Pre-Sales Questions

    Posted

    Hello,

     

    I looked into your product some time ago but could not use it as I needed EU complient invoicing.

     

    Now you have proforma invoices I've given it another go.

     

    I've encountered so far two problems.

     

    I cannot change invoicing number scheme during the year and I can't seem to be able to reproduce my current numbering scheeme :

     

    1st invoice of January 2015

     

    FA1502A015

    105th invoice of Feburary 2015

     

    FA1502A105

     

    3rd invoice of March 2015

     

    FA1503A003

     

    What I'm missing is :

     

    1) Ability to have two diget year

    2) Ability to fill the number with zeros (in europe you have to do this (have a fixed number of zeros that corresponds to the maximum number of invoices you plan to have).

    3) Automaticaly go back to 1 at the beginning of each month.

     

    I can get around point 1 and point 3 by waiting until 2016 before moving to blesta but I don't want to wait that long. I haven't found how to do point 2 though.

     

     

    The second issue I've found is that customers can edit their invoice contact details. And invoice being a non modifyable document, this can't be allowed.

     

    How can I solve these issues ?

     

    If I cannot, do you have some form of ETA for making Blesta EU Complient ?

     

    Thanks.

    For the invoice numbering you can define in admin->setings->system->invoice customisation

    On the Pro forma invoice format jut put:

    FA{year}{month}A{num}

    This way will show like this exemple:

    FA201501A15

    1st invoice of January 2015

    FA201501A105

    105th invoice of Feburary 2015

    If you want only 2 digits by year its not complicated but you have to change one core file and only one line of code :)

    Now for suporting zeros, im in europe/portugal and its not mandatory to have zeros on the left :) its only mandatory to have sequential numbers. If you really need to fill zeros, again, only need one line of code on one core file :)

    Ate least, going to first number each month, one core file with one line of code :P

    Its easy :)

    I could help you on this but im a litle busy one one project for one Blesta client right now :D

  5. Eu (Proforma) Invoicing Critical Bug

    in Bugs

    Posted

    The EU invoicing model must be fixed in Blesta core. I hope it will be :)

     

    Summary:

    1) Each proforma invoice must have unique and subsequent number.

    2) When proforma invoice is paid the invoice date must be equal to payment date.

     

    Do you guys agree?

    Yes i agree, but you forgot one thing, client details have to be always saved on the invoice and cannot ever be changed once the final invoice is generated :)

  8. Support Manager Default Language Email

    in Support

    Posted

    Tyson,

     

    Works fine for the email .... but with this change, all other plugin that have no FR_FR language file got empty text instead....  that's not very useful...

     

    Any other way to force the plugin supportmanager to use french ?

    You can duplicate the English language file and rename the file name to french but you have to do this for all mpdules/plugins that you have not translated yet.

    I do like the mobile swipe menus. I'm considering drop down menus, but making it an option. This would fit well with other plans to allow more customization. For example, in the client area I would like the widgets to be able to be sorted by staff, and possibly placed on their own pages and show up in the nav instead of the dashboard.

     

    Thats great news :D

    Now that cPanel add MariaDB as option insted MySQL lol, and we go to PDO connectors pressure from PHP7, what the future will old?

     

    We use CloudLinux on shared enviorments on all our servers, so we use betwin PHP 4.6 and php 5.6 eheh all with latest satable MySQL from cPanel.

     

    Off topic: I hate innodb engine (if DB is corrupted it can compromise all databases stored on that engine), MyISAM is good wen corrupted but a litle slow running.

     

    In developing some APP's and Websites we sitll use old fashion MySQL with MyISAM Engine, so it will take some time for us to adapt :P

    If you really want to make it like WHMCS, give Blesta drop-down menus.

    I really hate the double-stacked horizontal pair of menus. It's not the easiest to use.

     

    Paul is right, its WHM from cPanel company and not WHMCS, lol :P

     

    @Paul: You should (re)considering DropDown menus to Client Area and Admin Area, it takes more time to navegate betwin Horizontal Sub Menus than Vertical Sub Menus, and its proven to be more effetiant and cleaner :) Or the new way that mobile menus open on right or left sliders like this exemple:

     

    http://demos.jquerymobile.com/1.4.5/panel-swipe-open/#demo-page

     

    The "wheell" is alredy invented we only need to engage more features :P

  12. Eu (Proforma) Invoicing Critical Bug

    in Bugs

    Posted

    There is a bug with it, I don't know why yet. Last proforma I wrote the previous month was #41, then of course I accepted some payments, these proforma invoices got converted to a normal invoices, and I've tried to create proforma yesterday. It got #0 assigned. Yes, 0, that's not a mistake :) That's why I ask Blesta developers if they're going to fix that in 3.5, because they haven't fixed it in 3.4.2. Without EU invoicing we cannot use Blesta billing.

    This is a known problem from blesta, proforma invoices numbers in blesta are reused after conversion to final invoice. we hope next release they will find a solution like me and naja7host has released a temporary fix for this :)

  14. Any Ideas Guys

    in Support

    Posted

    I rather use blesta but at the same time things should work out the box without any problems. The email settings work on my dev install not the live one, hence why I'm looking at selling.

    I never used mandrillaapp api, but it seams like you are using the same api for dev and live, is that correct?

    If so, maybe thats the problem. Some apis authenticate with the domain/subdomain and/or IP, so, if you alredy authenticate in dev, maybe tou will need to get or renew the api key to authenticate corretly. That measure is normal and i bet that, if you do the same tests on whmcs you will face the same problems :)

    The problem is not in the blesta mail framework but in the api authentication method.

    I hope you continue using blesta :)

    If you need help you can pm me and i will trie to help you quickly :)

    You will not regret using blesta trust me ;)

    Lol :)

    I love 13 number, its my lucky number, special on Fridays :) seriously :)

    My teory is:

    If you think bad things you will attract more bad things.

    If you think good/positive things, you will see that everything will work ok even on bad situations :)

    Positive=happiness

    Negative=Oh noes!!... lol

  18. Translate Blesta Plugin

    in General

    Posted

    a lot of us want to translate blesta to thier native language , but this are a obstacle , big obstacle , is the translator website , is not easy to manage translation and to correct some old translation .

    the worth is in blesta upgrade , how you can know wich file has been added to it some new lang ?

    so i have this issue for long time , and i have resolved with my own way :) , today i have dedcied to share the translator plugin with the community , my translator motor , check the native language 'en_us' with the existing languages , with this plugin you can know :

    wich file are missing from your language directory .

    wich phrases are missing from your language file .

    translated the files within your blesta system , save it .

    off course drink coffe with you playing with the translation . before i upload it , what you need tose in this translator plugin .

    screenshot

    http://host-image.net/v.php?id=69170admin_languages.png

    waiting your's idea .

     

     

    Hello naja7host,

     

    I have request Paul some time ago, to automaticly translate all variables languages using Google Translate API on all languages, and then we can check one by one and manually change the variables that where not tranlated correctly, so I have in mind, like your screenshot is something like this:

     

    1º- We have to manually (it can also be done automaticly by a plugin), install all languages that we want to translate (it will only need to duplicate the English language folder on all Blesta/Modules/Plugins and rename the folder and language file to the languages that we want, and than activate/install on Blesta Admin )

     

    2º- Next the Plugin will automaticly translate all vars using Google Tranlate (yes I know that some language definitions, google translate dosent work very well)

     

    3º- Finally we will go to the listing of all files to translate/fix, like in your screenshot, and we can see and compare the tranlated variable to the native English variable and we can correct if we like

     

    This way we can Boost all languages in no time, because we only need to fix a few language definition that Google Translate dosent know.

  22. Eu (Proforma) Invoicing Critical Bug

    in Bugs

    Posted

    @Paul: Simplifying things :)

    Pro-forma invoices should always have sequential not reused numbering.

    Final invoice should always have the date of creation/converted (im not talking paid date), and should always have for tracking/search propose the pro-forma old number and also all client details saved (simple way as an array) to not be changed ever.

    Resolving this will be all good :)
