AutoEnable module to be able allow server group/server assignment

[jacksony]

Dear All,

I know this has been mentioned autorelease cannot assign server group/server, but it make no sense as many people are using autorelease module to automate task to add to to-do list.

If that is not possible, how are you guys getting around this? For product/services without a provisioning module, but you need to be able to allocate different server from the server group to the same service which you have? 

Please help support this request.

Well, the typical way when WHMCS doesn't do want you want -- make it via modules and hooks.   I can see WHMCS side that a WHMCS "server" should be used for account control or like VM management or other remote functions.  However, if a provider doesn't use such functions and wants to keep services organized in a group, then I can see the need. 

In this case, someone on WHMCS team mentioned using a server module to get the functionality back.  If I understand the requirements, using the _createAccount() function to add a to do and a ticket would give you the same functions as the autorelease while still allowing you to assign a service to a server.  Is there another requirement I might be missing here?

Is there such an add-on/module available?

Yes it is pretty irritating. We need functions like AutoRelease (to generate termination etc to-do list), and availble to assign which server each service belongs to, since there may be different type of server.

Have not seen a module like it, however, keep an eye out as it seems like a need.

seeing as @steven99 won't be allowed to post a link to his module... 🙂
