v4 Bugs and annoyances


Recommended Posts

Only a couple which for a major upgrade is pretty good. ;)

 

After the upgrade I found that all my domain extensions had -1 in the transfer price field effectively disabling all transfers in.

 

If you select the option "Block Existing Domains" in the general config this will prevent a user transferring in a domain at a later stage. So they order hosting on say Monday and then later decide they want to transfer the domain in, they can't with this enabled. I can't recall if it was like this in v3, it makes sense for new registrations and hosting plans but not transfers in.

 

SagePay still seems to be odd with AVS checking having to be disabled for brand new orders. I'm waiting for SagePay to cme back to me with more info.

 

Under Reports > Server Revenue Forecasts the currency symbol is missing next to the values (trivial but still missing)

 

A crumbtrail in the admin area for clients would be handy as it's not immeadiuatly obvious how to go back a screen, this is partly down to links being virtually identical to normall text5 which a tweak in the css would sort...

 

These are all minor issues, overall the upgrade is spot on :)

On the front screen of the admin area you have Todays orders, Todays Pending, and Todays Completed.

 

Todays Pending filters the orders correctly by only showing todays pending orders but the other two links don't apply the today filter and just show all orders.

I hate to say this but I don't like the new template for the following reasons:

Text hard to read and not uniform.

Fonts way too big.

Design seems very "heavy"

Switched back to the original layout.

Appreciated all the time that has gone into the new design but...

Hopefully there may be other designs to choose from in the future.

I found the exact same problem.

 

But as for as the actual upgrade goes.

FANTASTIC! I'm new to WHMCS and enjoying its benefits more each day.

Really missing the "Unpaid Invoices" and "Overdue Invoices" balances on the admin home page, used these a lot to gauge how much was out there invoiced. Not really useful knowing how many invoices are outstanding, you could have 50 for £5 each or 2 for £5k...! Clicking through to the list doesn't give totals either?

 

Don't want to take anything away from this release though there's lot's in there and I'm working through it!

Yep, that is a shame really. Both would be excellent!

Odd, we didn't have that problem when we did the upgrade. All prices transferred correctly.

Us too. I looked through the smarty debug to see if the values were passed but just not used anywhere, couldn't see anything.

try ...

<a href="invoices.php?status=Overdue">Overdue Invoices</a>: ({$overdueinvoices}) {$overdueinvoicesamount}
<a href="invoices.php?status=Unpaid">Unpaid</a>: ({$totalunpaidinvoices}) {$currencysymbol}{$unpaidinvoicestotal}

Hi Rob

 

Can confirm that:

 

{$overdueinvoices} should now be {$sidebarstats.invoices.overdue}

 

{$totalunpaidinvoices} should now be {$sidebarstats.invoices.unpaid}

 

The following tokens do not work...!

 

{$overdueinvoicesamount}{$currencysymbol}{$unpaidinvoicestotal}

 

Thanks for trying though!

For those who like the old admin area, why not just change it back?

 

"By default after the upgrade your admin account will be set to the new admin area design. You can revert to the old design by going to My Account > Template > Original."

But why not have it all? :)

 

{php}
$sql_query = "select sum(total) as unpaidinvoicetotal from tblinvoices where status='unpaid'";
$sql_result = mysql_query($sql_query);
$sql_array = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result); 
{/php}
<tr><td class="fieldlabel"><a href="invoices.php?status=Unpaid">Unpaid Invoices</a></td><td class="fieldarea"><span 
class="textred"><b>{$sidebarstats.invoices.unpaid} ({php}echo £.$sql_array['unpaidinvoicetotal'];{/php})</b></span></td></tr>
{php}
$sql_query = "SELECT sum(total) as overdueinvoicetotal FROM `tblinvoices` WHERE duedate < now() AND status='unpaid'";
$sql_result = mysql_query($sql_query);
$sql_array = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result); 
{/php}
<tr><td class="fieldlabel"><a href="invoices.php?status=Overdue">Overdue Invoices</a></td><td class="fieldarea"><span 
class="textblack"><b>{$sidebarstats.invoices.overdue} ({php}echo 
£.$sql_array['overdueinvoicetotal'];{/php})</b></span></td></tr>

Yeah me too, replaced the admin "Unpaid Invoices" and "Overdue Invoices" stats count straight in homepage.tpl - just copy it straight over there.

 

Also swapped the colours so overdue was red... made sense really.

 

<span class="textblack"> swapped with <span class="textred">

 

Pleased you like it...

I am finding that the "Next Due Date" field for the domains listed on the clientsdomainlist.php page are not reporting the same value from 'nextduedate' in the database. The "Next Due Date" field is reporting the correct value in the clients profile "domains" tab.

 

Can someone else confirm? I am not sure if I need to refresh cache / templates to see the new values so let me know if that is the case.

 

Thanks!

Deborah

It's still not the same. The quicksearch is totally broken when you try to roll it back. Just 'diff' the .css files from 3.8 admin to the "original" listed with 4.0...there are a lot of differences. The 3.8 admin css can't be applied over the "original" without it also being borked. I'm getting angry because I can't use the quicksearch in either v4 or original (this being the search located right next to your name, My Account and Log In/Log Out at the top left of WHMCS admin.

I don't like the new v4 manager look either, to heavy on the design. I like the simply colors and layout of the old style, it was easier to look at all the numbers and data, almost like a spread sheet. The one important thing I used alot was the upcoming domain renewal on the home page, and it is gone in v4 "original" template. I will have to figure out how to get that back in.

 

Overall it is a great release, good to see some of the new features, and hopefully they will keep coming! Thanks

Im pretty sure that you can switch the layout/design back to the old style...... In fact I think that it is mentioned in the features list.

 

Not sure how to do it though I'm afraid.
