Hi Shane; Did you ever get an answer or a solution to your query? I'm looking at setting up WEEBLY for our small WHMCS client base as well, and would like to help & learn from someone who has already done this. If you're still looking for an answer, I'd like to help (and learn) if I can. 🙂 - Todd

Hi John, thanks for the help. I ended up solving it (somehow) on this end. I actually loath when people say "solved it" without details on how they did it - that's not a lot of help for the next guy. But, that's what happened - it's solved and I don't know how. :) Anyway, thanks for the offer to help.

For us, we get an error report every 5 minutes since we upgrade to 7.6. All it's reporting is that there is no new mail to import... that the mailbox is empty. It seems that email pipe is still working fine if there is a new message, but we get a warning message every 5 minutes telling me there's no new messages. One or more POP3 connections failed:-----Hosting Sales <*****@************.com>Error: Connection error: Mailbox is empty-----

Hello, I'm not sure what the proper area to post this in, but here goes. We've been an InternetSecure.com client for years - decades. They've recently closed down so we need to find another CC Processor. The trick is we need to process US$ transaction in US$ funds, but also process CAD$ transactions in CAD$ funds (not just letting the CC company 'convert' it based on a variable exchange rate. InternetSecure.com did that, and allowed us to service Canadian and International customers in familiar and comfortable funds. SO - we're looking for recommendation on new CC processors, we are fairly low volume and low ticket, so we want to keep the fees low of course. We do also have a physical storefront for ~30 years and have a physical card-swipe machine through PaymenTech and that's where larger ticket sizes tend to go for labor and internet usage and so on - but it's CAD$ only and it doesn't process online transactions (and our rates are LOW because it's all physically presented cards) so we don't really want to integrate that at all, we just want to replace InternetSecure.com with something US$ and CAD$ aware and simple with WHMCS. Thank you in advance for your wise recommendations.

Hi. I have kinda the opposite situation. Instead of merging, I want to 'split' some of my customer base into a second WHMCS installation. So, the issue is - I want to keep all my local customer (physically local in my area) in our WHMCS installation, but I want to move out some of the customers and their domains who are just people who've found us on the internet and who are not local. Most of those folks have just Domain Registration only and no hosting - but I'd still want to be able to select them and move them into our other WHMCS installation. So, I'm guessing I can manually select which customers / domain / invoices / ticket that I want to ''Merge'' from one install to the other... but I'd really want to do a ''move'' instead of a ''copy'', so that once they are moved over to WHMCS-B, they no longer exist in WHMCS-A

Hi. Just to add my 2c - I had the same issue when upgrading from 5.3.10 -> 6.2.2 which was this error... SQLSTATE[HY000] [2054] The server requested authentication method unknown to the client So based on the explanation above, I went into WHM, did a MANAGE DATABASE USERS, and changed the password for the user. I just changed it to the same existing password from the configuration.php file, but I'm assuming that stored in from old-hash to new-hash in the process, and (even though I haven't had any actual old hash since the 1970's) that worked for me.

Hi all. I'd be interested in hiring someone to help implement this. We use WHMCS for our local ISP customer support, so I'm simply wanting to leave our WHMCS installation on the main login screen, and when a call comes in, have it search for the client, based on their caller ID phone number. The point would be so that when we answer the call, their client profile could already be open on the screen. I had tried a couple products that ran in the background and watched a caller-id capable modem, and were supposed to listen for the caller-id info when the phone was ringing and enter the phone number into some running program's active field. That's pretty much exactly what I'm looking for, but I was unable to get anything to work properly. So, I'd be willing to pay for help getting this working. I did have a previous thread open for this, but the forum won't let me post to it anymore based on it's date.. http://forum.whmcs.com/showthread.php?46169-Caller-ID-Module-Callerid&highlight=caller

Stormy, I did talk to them a couple days ago - they say that they HAVE been able to duplicate this, and that a case# has been opened, and that they are going to fix this shortly. This is what they said: I've opened case #3019 with our developers in order to have this resolved for future releases. This has been scheduled for resolution in the 5.3 series of WHMCS. Here are some examples of manual SQL Queries that should work as a work around until this is fixed by WHMCS. 1) This will set all you one year .com domains to renew at $12.99 UPDATE tbldomains SET recurringamount = "12.99" WHERE domain like "%.com" AND registrationperiod = "1"; 2) This will set all your one year .net domains that are currently at $11.97, to a new renewal price of $13.49 UPDATE tbldomains SET recurringamount = "13.49" WHERE recurringamount = "11.97" AND domain like "%.net" AND registrationperiod = "1"; Juanzo, I don't know of an easy way to limit this to just certain currencies - that info is kinda spread across the tbldomains and the tblclients and the tblcurrencies tables, so I think this would be a complex 'join' query, that would take more brain cell's than I have - especially if WHMCS does in fact have a fix for the Bulk Pricing Updater on the way very shortly. However, at least for the time being, these examples should hopefully help folks out.

Hello. Is there a working Bandwidth Billing module available?

This is part of your answer. UPDATE tbldomains SET recurringamount = "x.xx" WHERE recurringamount = "y.yy" AND domain like "%.com" AND registrationperiod = "1"; That'll set pricing to $x.xx, but only on domains that are currently $y.yy, that are *.com and that are a 1 year renewal cycle. I'm working on the Currency thing - it's a bit more complicated because the domain record itself doesn't know what currency it is - that info is on the client record - so the Query needs to take the clientid from the domain, and lookup the tblclients.id.currency. I've asked for that exact thing - they need to fix the Bulk Pricing Updater addon, but ALSO they should have an 'update all now' type of button on the Price Edit screens for products/domains. That way, if you edited your .net pricing, you could click right there and have the .net prices updated for everyone right there.

Yes, I'm trying to update my domain prices and this tool isn't working for me either. It always says 'Updated Domains with TLD 0 - 0 Affected' and no change to domain pricing.

Hi. I have version 5.2.14 and I need to update my domain pricing. The ''Bulk Pricing Updater" doesn't work - it doesn't find any domains to update. I think there are lots of comments in the forums about this Addon not working for quite a while. http://forum.whmcs.com/showthread.php?76991-Can-t-get-Bulk-Pricing-Updater-to-work

Hi. I have the same question... is there a CIRA Registry Module that is in existence and is supported? We've been buying our .ca names through eNom, but I'd rather connect directly to CIRA if a Registry Module exists? If this one still works or if it can be fixed, that's also OK. Also, I'd be willing to pay LOTS more than $100 for a working/supported module.

Hi. Is there a similar module for CPHulk inside of WHMCS? I have a travel agency client with lots of agent email addresses. They end up blocking themselves in CPHulk every week or two, and of course it's a panic if they can't pickup their mail. I'm looking for a way for them to get into their WHMCS client area, and to clear themselves out of CPHulk. Thank you.

Does anyone know of a working solution to running multiple companies from one installation? I don't' mind continuing to pay for multiple licenses, I'm just trying to solve the administration end of things and getting down to one customer database and one administration end of things for all my Domain/Hosting business. I'm willing to pay to get this accomplished, so whomever knows of a working solutions, I'm willing to spend the money to get it done right.

Hello. Any update on this yet? I know it's only $35, but I'd be willing to pay $350 for a working solution. I have four installations and it's a royal PITA to administer four separate installations.

OK, thank you. Let me know as soon as this 'feature' is done, and I'll purchase this. Without this 'feature', I'm not sure this would even be a functional or useful application - since customer's initial signup wouldn't be assigned to the proper client group, and they would therefor receive the incorrect email invoices and welcome messages, wouldn't they? However, once it can assign them to the properly client group while they are signing up, then I'd love to get this - so let me know when it's completed and I'll gladly pay to have this installed.

Hello. Is this now capable of assigning the correct Client Group automatically as the client signs up, or are the client's initial welcome emails all still wrong until after we manually ask the client what company URL they signed up at and manually set their client group, and only then have subsequent emails correct?

Hi. For a few minor sports clubs, non-profit orgs and local Church groups we offer Free hosting plans. We still charge them for the domain name renewal (so that we know they actually want and use the domain) but the hosting portion is free for them. So, I've set this up in the Setup > Payments > Promotions as per the instructions, and in previous years, these special clients have received their invoices as intended, with HOSTING = $149 100% DISCOUNT = $149 DOMAIN = $10 Total = $10 However, now they are getting this for some reason. It's billing them twice their normal plan price, and then giving them 1x the normal discount - but the 'free' hosting is no longer free. HOSTING = $298 100% DISCOUNT = $149 DOMAIN = $10 Total = 159 I can manually go and change the invoice, and manually check the Product & Services hosting item to make sure the recurring price is $149 - but next billing cycle, it'll do it wrong again. I'm thinking it feels like the Discount Promotion item has been munged somewhere because of some 'recalculate on save' I did or something, but I don't know where/how to fix it. Also, we only have about 6 clients with discounts like this, so I don't know if it's fixed or not for month's at a time - I'm not sure how to fix and test. Thanx, ToddC

+1 The Credit Card table in the database could have 'Credit Card Address' as part of it. While that's often/usually the same as the client address, it's not always the same and that causes problems with many AVSs.

Hi. I was re-reading your post and I'm confused - does this mean that you use Radius Manager entirely separately for your WISP/Radius billing, or does this mean you've somehow integrated it into WHMCS somehow? It doesn't look like WHMCS.com is prepared to extend WHMCS into being a WISP program, so we will need to move ahead with some other solution.

Hi. We would be interested in anything that lets us integrate all our billing (Website / Domain / Service / WISP / HotSpot) into one billing software, so if development goes ahead, let us know.

This can't possibly be accurate. We've been an InternetSecure.com merchant for well over a decade - our Merchant number is in the 400's! They are recommended and respected by the Banks, and they are NOT a *. You may have had a dispute with them, or you may not like their policies, and they may have enforced some charge-back that you are unaware of - but there is no way they are 'scammers who stole' from you. My point isn't to stick up for InternetSecure.com - they and their lawyers can do that just fine on their own - but for the other Merchants that use InternetSecure.com, inaccurate and inflammatory information like this can damage all OUR business's as well.

Yes, we are probably better using a WISP specific program for billing. We love WHMCS for our hosting/domains, so we are kinda trying really hard to see if it's up to the task of the WISP business, but there are LOTS of holes in WHMCS for this use, which is unfortunate. It would seem that if they made WHMCS more 'WISP Friendly' then more WISP's would use it, which would make it more attractive to other WISPs - and it would snowball. So, we are trying to get some of the fundamentals working, and we can hopefully attract some of our WISP brothers. Having only one type of overage isn't fatal - many WISP's have plans that are like this... Plan = $39 / month = 20 GB/month + $2/GB overdata Especially with NetFlix now, having a method of encouraging people to do some of there data usage at 3AM instead of at 7PM is also important, and a lower cost or a free overnight period is fairly important - however, that's not fatal. X/GB per month and $X/GB overage is better than not having usage-based-billing at all.
