urevised Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I don't know about anyone else but I am really disappointed in the new version of WHMCS. I have not really seen a great deal of changes from the previous version. - Announcements on the client area? Where are they? - Promotions still lack flexibility - Multiple Server Support within the order form, client being able to choose the server - Process refund for protx - Better Fraud Prevention - Country Block What the hell happened to all the features we suggested for the new version, the majority of them have been ignored.. Don't get me wrong I love WHMCS and the software is so stable. This is not meant as a 'trolling' post. I just want to know why all of these features were not implemented? We have been requesting these for so long now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS CEO Matt Posted September 11, 2008 WHMCS CEO Share Posted September 11, 2008 Sorry to hear you're disappointed. While you might not have got exactly what you want in the new version, there's a lot of new features added that have all been requested by our users. Unfortunately we have to prioritise based on demand and workability. In response to some of your specifics: - Announcements on the client area? Where are they? There's a dedicated section to announcements right on the portal homepage. - Promotions still lack flexibility In V3.7 the promotions you can offer have become a whole lot more flexible. But sure, we would still like to push things furthur with it in the future. - Multiple Server Support within the order form, client being able to choose the server This isn't as easy to achieve in a flexible & configurable way for mass use as it is in a custom action hook. And I seem to remember the action hook code you would need to use to enable this being supplied on the forums at some point. - Process refund for protx There are certain techinical issues with ProtX's refund process relating to the data they require in addition to a transaction number currently preventing this. - Better Fraud Prevention The MaxMind, VariLogix and the newer Telesign module are all utilising the features each service has to offer. - Country Block As discussed on the forums this isn't really possible. People can use proxies, or choose another country to where they are. And of course, you can already customise the countries dropdown menu and remove the countries you don't want to show. A full list of new features and changes are @ http://dev.whmcs.com/?version=17 Matt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uberhost Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I can't believe anyone would be disappointed. The reworked order system alone is ACE. Matt, thanks so much for the improvements. Stellar job! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHostingHeroes Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 "- Better Fraud Prevention The MaxMind, VariLogix and the newer Telesign module are all utilising the features each service has to offer." Matt does this mean more than one module can be used at once? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLHC Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 "- Better Fraud PreventionThe MaxMind, VariLogix and the newer Telesign module are all utilising the features each service has to offer." Matt does this mean more than one module can be used at once? From what I see in my upgraded version, no. Only one can be used at a time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruvous Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I just want the say that the new version is fantastic! There are 3 major changes that have been put in that I was craving for one (EEP for nominet) I was even about to start on myself. Ther other were smaller changes but so usefull in terms of make us look more prfessional (such as not sending out overdue emails to certain people and not adding late fees). Great update thanks!

HostingBegins Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Hi Everyone has there own view, and this is fine. Im pleased with the new version. Love the fact that many bugs are fixed, and a few new features. Bug fixes have to be the most important part for me, I don't want to see another Modern bill, or WHM AP In my option, Matt and the team are doing a great job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorro67 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Hi Guys, just did an upgrade from v3.6.2 to v3.7.1 having a MINOR problem. No cart. All other pages appear to work fine Upgraded all my templates first, and deleted listed files from install then I realised that the other order methods are gone. Admin-> ordering -> select 'cart' & waalaa!! Edit: Need to upload the templates/orderforms/ directory to get the other order form templates 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiDef-Laws Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I just upgraded from 3.6.1 to 3.7.1 this morning and am pretty happy. Took me awhile to get my templates back in order but only had a few small issues to deal with. After getting everything "back to normal", I noticed my ProductCustom items weren't being sent out in templated emails. A quick check of this forum and I see they changed (as I hadn't noticed it on the new handy merge field listing). The email stripper is fixed. It caused me lots of problems by stripping out parts of words instead of "just" the html and whmcs custom codes. Just this fix alone has made me extremely happy with the upgrade. I'd still like to see the custom fields we create for clients and products as searching in the intelligent search field. That would really improve the speed of looking up some clients that are typically referred to by our custom product username instead of by their real first and last or email. Would still also be nice to have a Paypal subscription number searchable and in the merge field. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmukdaniel Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Well all I can say is that the new version is FANTASTIC, I love WHMCS and wouldn't dream of using anything else. Can't wait for some of the new features as detailed in Dev Tracker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrip Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I don't expect a major revolution with future releases of WHMCS as the exciting stuff is already included. However I'm always pleasantly surprised with the enhancements of each revision as there is always something of benefit. Keep up the excellent work! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausrob Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 What the hell happened to all the features we suggested for the new version, the majority of them have been ignored.. I suggest you signup with MB. We were requesting features FOR YEARS before we cancelled (we were with them since 2001) WHMCS is the best and we've used everything except for ubersmith. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
