V4 First Impressions

[merlinpa1969]

I had planned on making a DUPE of the live site....

and running testing there, not only new install but upgrades but asking and expecting people to test on a live site in my opinion is nutz

 

I already let VicToMeyeZR know that if Matt wants to let them have my test spot

[SRobinson]

Yes I agree for you thats great,

I just cant believe that the devs are expecting people to upgrade their LIVE sites...

 

Release Candiates are basically ready for release.. I wouldn't test a Beta in a live environment, but a large release like this really does need to be tested in a live environment before a stable release! Theres no way you can find most of the bugs in a test environment.

if you dont want to be teased, dont look

Is it just me, or does that look like ClientExec?

[RyanH]

Just you It's way better than that

[sparky]

Are you guys really testing on your LIVE sites?

 

this is what I was told

"You should upgrade your live install to give it a thorough testing now it's at the release candidate stage. It is not beta."

 

I will test it with a complete backup but there is no way that I will put my business in jeopardy for a RC ...... Like someone earlier said, I will wait for the final release

 

A few of us had been testing it live in the first beta and there were no real major problems at all. My site is still live now with V4 RC2 with no problems now at all to date.

 

Not sure if it's a bug, but I personally think it looks wrong:

The first domain seems to get it's own row?

I did a fix with this with some code from one of my mods

This is my complete domainchecker.tpl file

Find this line to change how many rows you want to display

Thanks Sparky, I can only hope this makes it into the main release!

[keliix06]

dang this sucks.. I check the forums daily, and all 250 gone already.

 

what a crock

 

We just got changed from pending to active today, so maybe just more waiting?

 

I'm running through an upgrade of a backup db now to see if all of our mods still work.

[keliix06]

Upgrade done and that went extremely smoothly. The only problem is I don't seem to be able to be logged in to both in the same browser. Not a huge deal at this point. Off to test everything else.

[merlinpa1969]

I would suggest a simple addon ( message stack ) in the admin, when you put the site in Down for maintenance....

 

will save tons of issues when folks like me forget to remove down for maintenance...

[Hosteris]

someone is having trouble with "Bulk Check TLDs"?, after upgrade to v4 in setup --- general settings --- domains --- Bulk Check TLDs. I don´t have extensions to select (image 1), obviously I have added some domain extensions (image 2).

[keliix06]

Well, only took about 2 hours to get all of our customizations transferred from v3 to v4. Boy do I not miss MB.

[ct2k7]

Bah, 14th was my Birthday But, from what I've seen, all looks great

[ljesh]

I am a bit disappointed... The client cannot change the currency in which he wants to pay some the invoices later, only at signup. Also, during creation of invoice you cannot choose the currency to be paid in as it uses the clients currency (also, you cannot change the currency of an already created invoice).

Is there any way to set the server from where the exchange rate is taken.

 

eg whmcs current exchange rate today is:

Eur: 1.13366

USD: 1.49337

 

However the exchange rates at the payment processor is:

 

Worldpay:

#Thu Apr 16 00:18:48 GMT 2009

USD=1.54549

EUR=1.16123

 

 

We need to be able to configure where the exchange rate is taken from.

[jnet]

One more thing

 

Open all templates in a software like emeditor

and reload them in utf-8 and save them as utf-8.

 

then also you can force your server use ut-8 encoding by

 

also by using htaccess you can force users browser to see the utf-8 encoding

We also need this.

[minadreapta]

We also need this.

we need it too

[jnet]

And when is it going to become stable?

[DIYWebHosting]

Just wondering if you can set fixed prices for multiple currencies rather than having them based off of an exchange rate? (I don't have a copy to test with.)

Yes you can set every product in each price. The exchange rates updating is just a setting you can turn on if you want it in automation settings. I like rounded amounts personally so am entering fixed prices and leaving it off.

1. is the currency converting feature working "upside down"?

does it divide instead of multiplying?

 

2. where does the converter take the rates from? the rates don't seem to be correct: for my currency the official rate from our central bank is 4.2197 but in WHMCS i have 4.2128

[Interdit]

1. was found already:

http://forum.whmcs.com/forumdisplay.php?f=27

2. the feature to choose the source has been requested in this thread.
