control panels.

[spurdog]

Hello.

I am currently using the trial period of your program. You presently support 2 control panels a. cpanel and b. directadmin.

My question(s) are - will you be adding support for futher control panels? I am thinking of ensim in particular.

Would it be possible to offer a generic control panel in the list? This could be named "other" or something similar and also allow us to draft our own welcome email template for this.

Your program almost fits what I need. I would really like the ensim control panel support added, but I would be satisfied with a configerable "other" with its own welcome email that would show all the required information from its own email template.

Thanks.......John

Hi John,

There's no need for a generic control panel. Just setup the product as a cpanel product with no automatic account creation and you can customise the email that gets sent anyway when creating your product.

There hasn't been much demand for Ensim support so it hasn't been considered yet.

Hi Matt.

Thank you for your reply.

Currently I use 2 control Panels, cpanel and ensim. So with your suggestion I would be able to use the directadmin selection as my "gerenic" with its own email template, I have no problem with doing that,. I just now ask that you keep ensim in mind for any further updates - you know when you are twiddleing your thumbs and wondering what you can do next!!

Thanks again........John

Ensim support would be great!

While Ensim might not be the most popular control panel right now I'm quite happy with the new Ensim X Pro for CentOS.

The only billing system offering Ensim support right now is ModernBill I guess. And I'm really tired of waiting for them to release ModernBill 5.2 which might finally have some of the modules everyone is waiting for ... like 2checkout or DirectI support for example ... which is already in WHMCS 3 ...

So if you decide to start working on an Ensim module please let me know!

mlx,

I can't stress how pleased you will be with WHMCS over any version of modernbill. MB v5 is about as slow and messed up as a host billing application can be. I have experience with modernbill since they started... good guys... bad decisions.

*Even* if I had to do some manual account creation until Matt can get around to helping you out, I would highly advise you to setup the trial of WHMCS (if you haven't) and configure it for your business flow exactly. Once you get it setup and start submitting some test orders, WHMCS *really* starts to shine at that point.

Best of luck to you.

Matt - Consider us another strong vote for Ensim support. We would be willing to discuss sponsoring this development if it helps!

Ensim is nice, although we don't offer web hosting on it, only as a dedicated box.

Also, ensim account creation is fairly straight forward, in that you can use a few of the shell scripts called from virtually any billing program to trigger account creation and general maintenance. I have no idea if WHMCS can handle that, since I am just a newbie around here ;)

I too would be very interested in Ensim support. Have used a number of control panels and theres a few bits in Ensim that keep me with it

Put me down as another who'd purchase WHMCS if you could do an Ensim Module! (HOPE)

Hi John,

There's no need for a generic control panel. Just setup the product as a cpanel product with no automatic account creation and you can customise the email that gets sent anyway when creating your product.

The only problem with this is the [Cpanel] button in the client area that of course does not connect to anything, since there is no Cpanel at 123.123.123.123:2082
A generic control panel with a user definable URL to link to would be a better solution IMHO.

Cheers,

agreed - then we could set the webmail links, etc

We are about to deploy a server with Ensim Pro X and dump our current MediaTemple Plesk driven piece of S%*#.

On that note an Ensim module would be a very desirable addition to WHMCS.

Com'n Matt... Giddy up son! :D
