mauwiks Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Hi there, I am trying to setup a non-supported domain registrar module (such as Namesilo) for my account. If I will only use this third-party module, should I disable the domain sync under the Automation Settings and use the manual Cron setup? Please see screenshot below: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven99 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Does the module support the _Sync() function? If so, keep it enabled as otherwise it wont fire. If not and you do not have any other registrar modules, you can keep it on or off as it wont fire either way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauwiks Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 I'm not really sure about it. All I know is both WHMCS built-in Cron Sync and the third-party module keeps emailing me for the reports. Please see: http://bit.ly/2HUc0Cz How do I know if it does support it? Is there a code that I can check, if I may ask? Thanks further. Really appreciate your response 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven99 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 In WHMCS files, find modules/registrars and open the namesilo.php file . If it is encoded, then you would need to talk to the developer. If it isn't, then look for _Sync and if it has it then leave that option on. however, you mentioned a cron setup and if you have a cron to call a file for namesilo specifically at that time, then you can disable that domain sync option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauwiks Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 Alright. So of what I've understood, I need to find the "_sync" function in my namesilo php file and when I do, I can pursue the specific cron command for namesilo (using the namesilo domainsync php file) base on their instruction to be called per 24hours. And after that, I can disable the built-in domain sync for WHMCS. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote If you wish to use the SYNC script to update the domain’s expiry and due dates (if selected in the setup of the registrar module) you will need to setup a CRON tab to run the “namesilo-sync.php” script. Our recommendation would be to have this run nightly to ensure the information displayed to your client’s is as current as possible. the code isn't encoded and there's no _sync command within it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauwiks Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) Hi @brian! What is the best thing to do because I'm quite confused. Thank you for your participation in this issue by the way! So shall I turn on both? because NameSilo doesn't have the _sync function?

I think I mean the opposite! if all your domains are under Namesilo, then even if you ran the WHMCS Sync, I don't think it would update any of these domains - only the NameSilo sync would do that... but it would do no harm to check with NameSilo support about this as they wrote it (in 2015 apparently!). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauwiks Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 I did contact them but suddenly they stopped responding. Maybe because of the timezone. Anyway, lastly. May we use multiple Domain registrars to offer in WHMCS? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
