hehe, I just noticed that the thread was started before 7 years (My mistake), so it's definitely late 🙂

We have discovered an issue with 9.0.3 and were able to replicate it, if a customer has >100 billable items, once over 100 it will generate an invoice for each item Reproduced on an isolated test client with all custom hooks fully disabled; still fragmented at >100. ◦ Exact boundary confirmed: clean at 100, breaks at 101 (50→1, 99→1, 100→1, 101→2, 250→101 invoices). Once we rolled back to 8.13.3 it worked as normal and only produced 1 invoice >100

maybe the author from busyrack would have received a message, because I used all the methods available to me to contact them but did not receive any response. So it seems it is time to rewrite the ticket filter module 🙂

You believe a 7 (or so) year old thread will get attention to your services? I'd guess it's a bit late. 😉

Can anyone tell me what all features you are looking in the DNS Manager? May be something that a developer can do for you guys?

It happens again 🥴 Website is down, license stop workings, have billing issues. Looking for another solution

I am facing a weird issue.Generated invoices are getting marked as paid using credit balance.On the contrary, there is no available credit balance under client's account. Much needed , options to restrict this are disabled , still same scenario , invoices are getting marked as paid.

Sorry I thought I had a fix but I had to delete it.

We are seeing the same thing, the user has "Separate invoices" OFF but it still generated one invoice per service. Any way to fix this so it doesn't happen again?

It's definitely a bug, I think. I can reproduce this on 2 dev installations running v9, but not earlier versions. Here's a workaround: <?php add_hook('AdminAreaHeadOutput', 1, function() { return <<<HTML <style id="initialSidebarMinimize"> #sidebar { display: none !important; } #contentarea { transition: none !important; } </style> <script> (function() { document.documentElement.classList.add('sidebar-pre-minimized'); document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() { const content = document.getElementById('contentarea'); const opener = document.getElementById('sidebarOpener'); if (content) { content.classList.add('sidebar-minimized'); } if (opener) { opener.style.display = 'block'; } requestAnimationFrame(function() { document.getElementById('initialSidebarMinimize')?.remove(); if (content) { content.style.transition = ''; } }); }); })(); </script> HTML; });

You should reinstall the vendor directory for the WHMCS version you are running

Hi everyone, I searched the community first but could not find an exact match for this behavior. I’m trying to determine whether this is expected behavior, a security hardening change, or a possible regression/bug in WHMCS 9.0.4. Environment: - WHMCS version: 9.0.4 - Upgrade path: 9.0.3 to 9.0.4 using the official incremental patch - PHP version: 8.3 - ionCube Loader: 14.4.x - Server module: cPanel/WHM - Client login method involved: Google Sign-In - cPanel/WHM Single Sign-On enabled Issue: After updating to WHMCS 9.0.4, a client reported that the “Login to WHM” / “Login to cPanel” action from the Client Area failed with: Action Failed Unable to auto-login. Please contact support. Reproduction details: 1. Client logs in to the WHMCS Client Area using Google Sign-In. 2. Client opens the product/service details page for an active cPanel/WHM hosting service. 3. Client clicks the “Login to WHM” or “Login to cPanel” button. 4. WHMCS shows the error above. Expected result: The client should be logged in to WHM/cPanel via SSO. Actual result: The SSO action fails with “Unable to auto-login”. Important details: - This issue appeared to affect only this specific client/user. Other clients with cPanel/WHM services were able to use Client Area SSO normally after the 9.0.4 update. - The affected user was the account owner. - The client account had SSO enabled. - In the database, tblclients.allow_sso = 1. - In tblusers_clients, the affected user had owner = 1 and permissions = NULL, which I understand is normal for the account owner. - Admin-side access/SSO worked. - “Login as Client” from the WHMCS admin area worked. - cPanel API connectivity itself did not appear to be broken. - Other checks did not point to Cloudflare, ModSecurity, tmp path, cPanel API token, or server connectivity. What resolved it: The client usually logged in using Google Sign-In and apparently did not have a local WHMCS password set from the Client Area. After asking the client to define a local WHMCS password, the cPanel/WHM SSO action immediately started working. After that, SSO worked in both scenarios: - when logging in with email + password - when logging in again using Google Sign-In So the local password only had to be set once. After that, Google Sign-In also allowed the cPanel/WHM SSO action to work. Additional checks: - I checked for NULL or empty tblusers.password values and did not find any. - All password fields I checked had bcrypt-style $2y$ prefixes, so checking for NULL/empty passwords does not seem to identify this condition. - I also found a few unrelated clients with allow_sso = 0 and corrected those, but this affected client already had allow_sso = 1. Questions: 1. Is WHMCS 9.0.4 expected to require the account owner to have a local password set before allowing Client Area SSO actions such as cPanel/WHM login? 2. Could this behavior be related to the 9.0.4 Client Area authorization/security hardening? 3. Is this intended behavior, or should it be reported as a bug/regression? 4. Is there a reliable way to identify users who authenticate via Google Sign-In but may not have completed local password setup, if tblusers.password is not NULL/empty? I’m not looking for details about the security issue itself. I’m only trying to confirm whether this new behavior is intentional and how to detect or prevent it for other clients. Thanks.

Hi, A client of mine experienced this issue. I opened a ticket and the bug was confirmed. It was suggested to change the PHP version, which wasn't feasible for us, so we updated to the new patch 8.13.3-release.2 instead, and that resolved the issue. Download 8.13.3-release.2 - https://www.whmcs.com/members/dl.php?type=d&id=1949

Frankly, I'm going to stop throwing time at this, though I appreciate your effort. I open the page, hit minimize and it stays minimized on page changes. That will have to do. Loads of effort for a small niggle that WHMCS could add with little effort, but have no apparent interest in doing. Giving up, but thanks.

@bear I did some further testing and I think this is what you want. Curious to hear your feedback. I have 8.13.3 installed. <?php /** * WHMCS Hook: Hide Admin Sidebar by Default (Without Breaking Page Grid Rows) * Compatible with WHMCS 8.13.x and hopefully 9.x Blend Layout */ if (!defined("WHMCS")) { die("This file cannot be accessed directly"); } add_hook('AdminAreaHeaderOutput', 1, function($vars) { if (isset($vars['template']) && (strpos($vars['template'], 'blend') !== false)) { return <<<HTML <script> document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() { // 1. Target the native WHMCS minimize button var minBtn = document.getElementById('sidebarClose'); // 2. Target the native WHMCS hidden layout flag class var isAlreadyHidden = document.body.classList.contains('sidebar-hidden'); // 3. If the sidebar is present and not already natively minimized, trigger a native click if (minBtn && !isAlreadyHidden) { // A tiny 10ms timeout lets WHMCS paint its grids first, preventing column row-drops setTimeout(function() { minBtn.click(); }, 10); } }); </script> HTML; } });

Using blend, that hook doesn't do anything. On first page load, sidebar is open. Why this is not a built in option is baffling.

Hello, since v9 upgrade, when a customer request a cancellation of a service, the item is not removed from the invoice. How to fix?

I'll give that a try, thanks. I couldn't find this in the docs. Is it really necessary to use AI to figure out hooks in the newer versions?

I have not tested this because I'm not using 9.x but this is an AI generated response that you could try on a test install by adding a hook and a small amount of code to clientareaproductdetails.tpl <?php /** * Fix: DivisionByZeroError when upgrading to a one-time product * Affected: WHMCS 9.x + PHP 8.x — upgradefunctions.php::SumUpPackageUpgradeOrder() * * Root cause: PHP 8.x throws a DivisionByZeroError where PHP 7.4 silently * returned 0. When upgrading to a one-time product, WHMCS attempts to * divide by the billing cycle days, which is 0 for one-time products. * * Save as: /includes/hooks/fix_upgrade_onetime_division.php */ // Hook files are loaded before upgrade.php runs its calculations, // so we can register an exception handler here at file level to // intercept the DivisionByZeroError before it becomes a fatal crash. if ( isset($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) && basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) === 'upgrade.php' ) { // Capture any existing handler so we can chain it for unrelated errors $previousUpgradeExceptionHandler = set_exception_handler(null); set_exception_handler(function (\Throwable $e) use ($previousUpgradeExceptionHandler) { // Only intercept the specific bug — let everything else propagate normally if ( $e instanceof \DivisionByZeroError && strpos($e->getFile(), 'upgradefunctions.php') !== false ) { $serviceId = isset($_REQUEST['id']) ? (int) $_REQUEST['id'] : 0; header( 'Location: clientarea.php?action=productdetails' . '&id=' . $serviceId . '&upgrade_error=onetime' ); exit; } // Not our error — pass to the previous handler or PHP default if (is_callable($previousUpgradeExceptionHandler)) { call_user_func($previousUpgradeExceptionHandler, $e); } else { restore_exception_handler(); throw $e; } }); } /** * After the redirect, display a clear notice on the product details page * so the client knows what happened and what to do next. */ add_hook('ClientAreaPageProductDetails', 1, function ($vars) { if (empty($_GET['upgrade_error']) || $_GET['upgrade_error'] !== 'onetime') { return []; } return [ 'upgradeOnetimeError' => true, 'upgradeOnetimeMessage' => 'Upgrading to a one-time payment product is not ' . 'supported via the self-service upgrade tool. Please contact support ' . 'and we will arrange this for you manually.', ]; }); Add to clientareaproductdetails.tpl {if $upgradeOnetimeError} <div class="alert alert-warning"> {$upgradeOnetimeMessage} </div> {/if}

@bear This works with the Blend theme <?php add_hook('AdminAreaHeadOutput', 1, function($vars) { return '<script> document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() { document.body.classList.add("sidebar-collapse"); }); </script>'; }); From Claude: The new Blend admin theme in WHMCS is built on AdminLTE, which collapses the sidebar by adding a sidebar-collapse class to the <body> tag — it no longer uses the minsidebar variable from the old theme.
