Selecting server location


Tengri

Recommended Posts

Hello.

Is there some sort of method to the customer during the ordering hosting you could choose the server location of the countries? Is it possible to automate the selection of the server location? Theoretically this can be done through configurations to products - but this dances with tambourines. I didn't find a proper module for this. In addition, the modules do not guarantee that this feature will work on new versions.

Thank you.

the usual way would just be to duplicate products into different product groups and assign them to different server groups (with a server group in each location)...

one option might be ModuleGarden's Server Allocator addon...

nobody could give such a guarantee anyway... not even WHMCS can guarantee a feature working now in v7.5 will work in a future version - so a third-party developer, with no insight as to what WHMCS are planning to do, has no chance of giving such a guarantee.

Things are sad.

I found request-very old. Unfortunately until now not adopted. In theory, the implementation of this feature does not seem so difficult. If there is a group in the servers panel that distributes the load on the servers - what is the cost of creating such convenience? Wish.

We use 2 servers and do not know now how beautiful it is here to implement. Can add checkboxes to the order page and it will change between groups. I think it is better to do so.

I wouldn't argue with that.

that goes for a lot of requests... simple to implement, but they never get completed... or not for 3, 4 or 5+ years.

Server groups allow you to configure servers into sets where products can then be assigned automatically based on your requirements & provisioning settings. For example you may want shared accounts on certain servers, and resellers on others, with accounts being distributed evenly between all the servers you have. Server groups makes this possible.

the problem is that you want to automate the server account creation location... if you just wanted the user to make a choice of server location (without any automation), then you could use a configurable option to make the choice - but there's no built in way to assign a product order to a specific server location based purely on a choice... although with hook coding you could probably do it.

however, as I said earlier, most users just choose to duplicate the same products for multiple servers, and then the customer chooses the product in their desired location... as an example, take a look at this WHMCS cart. and you'll see that the same products are in two different server locations...

the products in each of the two groups are the same, apart from the server location... so if someone buys a product in the "USA Dedicated Servers" product group, it will be hosted in the US (because that specific product will be linked to a server group with servers in USA); if they choose the same product from India Dedicated Servers, it will hosted in India...

I understand what you want to do, and just have one product with a choice of automated server location available during the order process, but out of the box you can't do that - you would either have to purchase an addon, or throw money at it to get custom coding written.

Yes, I understand. When I was talking about flags, I meant the flags of countries. Built-in order template. Clicking on which the client changes the group (without understanding). Instead a category system that is built into WHMCS.

It's not aesthetically pleasing :D.

hmmm... you could do that... either use flags to change/hide specific category groups, or use flags in configurable options during the order process (I saw that years ago - can't remember where), but as I said, the second option wouldn't automate the creation... the first option would... but either one is custom coding and i'm not aware of a third-party addon that does either.
