OnlineNIC Expiry Date Syncronization Module

[Lawrence]

Hey guys,

 

Here is a beta of the OnlineNIC Expiry Date Sync module that I mentioned this past weekend.

 

Just upload the "onlinenicsync" folder into your WHMCS folder and set up a cron job to call onlinenicsync.php (no special parameters are needed, but you should set cron to e-mail you the output)

 

There is one variable in this file

$myonlinenic_syncduedate

which controls whether or not the Next Due Date is synced to the Expiry Date.

 

Everything else is pulled from the WHMCS database.

 

Note that domains with unpaid invoices will not be included in the sync, as it may mess up WHMCS until the next time the cron is run.

 

Please leave any feedback or bug reports here.

We are testing now. Hopefully it will work.

[Lawrence]

It uses the OnlineNIC API and the variables you set for the "onlinenic" registrar module, so I see no reason it should not work.

How is it if we are using WHMCS in a sub-folder /clients?

 

We put the 3 files in this folder /clients

 

Shouldn't we edit onlinenicsync.php:

 

// include WHMCS and OnlineNIC base functions

require("../dbconnect.php");

require("../includes/functions.php");

require("../init.php");

require("base_functions.php");

 

// XML composition class

include_once("xml.php");

 

Please advise.

We are getting this in the cron job:

 

X-Powered-By: PHP/4.4.6

Set-Cookie: PHPSESSID=2ac548c5d18258d65b7a642260d29711; path=/

Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT

Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0

Pragma: no-cache

Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-7

 

 

But the expiration dates are not getting updated.

I have attached the one that I am using now and can confirm is indeed working.

 

In the ZIP, there is a folder called "onlinenicsync". Upload that folder to the folder where your WHMCS is installed.

 

From there, just create a cron job to call onlinenicsync.php every few days or so.

 

Also, make sure your firewall allows outgoing connections on port 20001.

I just wonder if this script works with php4.x

 

I was not able to make it work yet. :roll:

It is not supported for PHP 4.x. I believe the XML class included requires PHP 5.

[cmo]

Now my WHMCS is in a server php5+, mysql 5+, apache 2+ and the script is not working yet.

Did you follow my original instructions?

Yap, as instructed.

 

I will delete everything and re-install, let's see.

[Lawrence]

Actually, could you post the command for the cron job itself?

[Lawrence]

Just discovered this... in onlinenicsync.php, replace this:

 

require("../init.php");

 

with this:

 

//require("../init.php");

 

and see if it works then (run it from the command line using ssh).

Ok, I will try.

Hey good news! It worked. Thanks!

[Lawrence]

Thanks for posting back. I will be releasing an updated version in the next few days, along with DistributeIT sync addon.
