Hi, I managed to get rid of it by going into the tblconfiguration table and changing the Version field to 3.5.0. However I believe that you could also take the contents of the upgrade350.sql file and run that on the table and that should get it updated. As mentioned by arcdigital above, it seems that if you run the installer once and then go back and run it again then that might also help fix the problem if you are doing a new install, for some reason if you do a fresh install it seems that it doesn't enter 3.5.0 into the version field, least that seemed to be what I found after trying a couple of installs. Hope any of that helps!

Ah fantastic, works like a charm. Many thanks for the swift update!

Hi, Just a quick question, is it by design that the new cart system seems to break out of ssl for the ordering process. I noted this happens on my install and on two other hosts including the rather nice looking AllureHost intergration. http://www.allurehost.com/clients/cart.php you can't seem to even force it into ssl. I'm not overly bothered about the initial part of the ordering process being ssl but the part where they enter their details would be good. Anyone any ideas what might be wrong here or the reason behind this as I can see the old order system stayed ssl all the way through. Cheers.

ah I see, apologies for the miss understanding.

Could well be missing something but does the new cart system break some of the addon functionality? Looking at the template for clientareaproductdetails.tpl it appears that line 110 has been changed to reflect the new cart system: <p><strong> » {$LANG.clientareaaccountaddons}</strong>{if $addonsavailable} - <a href="cart.php?gid=addons">{$LANG.orderavailableaddons}</a>{/if}</p> However clicking on it will bring up all the addons in the cart system rather than just the ones that are applicable to that product as was the case with the previous order system. Is there any way to get it back to the previous way of doing things as I feel it was more of an idiot proof system.

ah sorted it now thanks. After digging around a bit it seems that it was a problem with the database not having the new fields for 3.5 enter into it for some odd reason, once i added the info from the 3.5.0 upgrade .sql file to the db it began working, not sure why the installer didn't add these fields in, guess I must have messed something up! Cheers.

I've just upgraded to 3.5 and have set about skinning the new templates. However I have come to test the add contact page and I can't seem to get it to work. I have ensured that I am using a vanilla template file in case I'd made any changes that caused a problem, then deleted everything out of templates_c, tried again but still the same problem. It seems that the form submits okay as I am then redirected to the manage contacts page, but the details aren't getting submitted to the database, as I just get the error message saying " # No Contacts Found # ", with the page I've been directed to as being set at clientarea.php?action=contacts&id=0. I had a quick look round and can't see anything for this issue on any other posts, so that would point to something wrong with my setup, anyone have any idea what it might be, or will I need to bug support? Cheers.

I thought I'd quickly post this in case it helps anyone else, as I couldn't see any other forum posting for it, course it might just be that I'm a bit erm *special*. I decided on a fresh install of whmcs 3.5.0 so deleted my 3.4.1, deleted the db tables and then installed 3.5.0 in it's place. However despite completing the install process as normal, I found that I kept getting the "An upgrade is currently in progress... Please come back soon..." message. I'd deleted the install folder so was a bit unsure, but on checking the configuration table I saw that the version was still at 3.4.1, I changed this to 3.5.0 and everything started working (actually I changed it to 3.5, got no joy, cursed for about half an hour, and then figured 3.5.0). Anyway no idea how it kept creating 3.4.1 in there, maybe I was just being an idiot and missing something, but the tables were being created fresh. Still that solved it for me so if anyone else gets that oddness, then hopefully that will solve it. Cheers!

Hi, I'd make the order form secure by default, I think that would appeal more to potential clients as your pre sales form currently goes secure so you'd might as well do the order form I would have thought. Design wise I'd say the colour scheme could do with a bit of a rethink, the grey/light yellow/white combo aren't very complimentary but that's just my opinion. Also the right hand column appears and disappears across pages, usually it's best to keep the layout as uniform as possible. Maybe checking out somewhere like the open source web design directory would provide some inspiration it's at http://www.oswd.org/

Nice post! I'm fairly new to selling web hosting so it didn't really occur to me before reading your post just how the billing system for a hosting company can become such an intricate part of your life, scary thought, but probably why when I first looked around the forums I've found a lot of people seem to have a genuine affection for this piece of software and the developers behind it, which is quite an unusual thing to see, and is always a good sign. Thankfully I was lucky and managed to dodge the MB bullet as I only used it for two days when testing out different billing systems. It was unbelievable, the amount of grief I got from it right out of the box, I don't think I've experienced software like it. However the fact it failed to work properly was probably a blessing in disguise if your experience is anything to go by! At the time I didn't know about WHMCS, and I thought if MB is the industry standard billing system, as I was led to believe at the time, then I'd rather write my own! Thankfully I stumbled across WHMCS and saved myself a lot of hard development work as it truly is a fantastic bit of software!

Damn, just when I thought I'd finished customising all the templates!... I love it really! Seriously though the update sounds great, looking forward to getting my hands on it, the shopping cart functionality will make the order process look even more professional, I wasn't expecting this till version 4 or something so it's a real nice surprise. Thanks for the update Matt, hope your taking a seemingly well earned break over Christmas!

Hi, I found that firefox threw an SSL certificate warning at me, but IE doesn't, not sure about why that is happening. Also I think the grey text on the white background on the reseller page could do with darkening, it's a bit faint at the moment.

That's sorted it. Cheers Matt!

Hi, I've recently purchased a WHMCS license and I'm currently integrating it into my hosting setup, I'm loving how well in works in comparison to MB4, which was terrible IMHO. However I've have run into a problem regarding account creation. I have WHMCS setup to mark all cPanel hosting accounts as pending until I authorise them manually. This works fine until I come up against a hosting account that has a similar domain name to that of another on my server. I see that the default username for each account is the first 8 letters of the associated domain, however if for example I have fantasticdomains.com and then fantastichosting.com on the same server, I get an error stating that the requested account username is already taken. I have tried to override the name but as soon as I click create it goes back to trying to put the first 8 letters in. I have dug around in the admin area, the manual, and the forum, and I've not been able to find where it is that I can override the username, if it is indeed possible, or what I should do to avoid this issue. Thanks advance to anyone who can help me on this one!
