Creating Packages in Enhance

Adrien You can delete it from the "Servers' page by clicking the pencil. Any servers in the group will be ungrouped - not delete.

We will improve this flow.

Aliysa_Enhance Thanks Aliysa! I managed to delete all unused server groups and clean my list.

Hello everyone, I just wanted to let you know that, as of today, the package structure I tried to set up above does not fully work on Upmind.
Yesterday, I talked to their support team, and discovered you can't provision two Enhance packages when you order one Upmind product. The bundle functionality of Upmind isn't automated yet, so I can't use it. same for attributes.

Currently, 1 Upmind package equals 1 Enhance package. You can't provision staging sites on a separate server.

Adrien What are you going to do?

Adrien

mendozal At the moment, I gave up on a separate staging site server until Enhance supports this.

Adrien

mendozal I just quit Upmind. I'm looking for a solution now. If you have some ideas, guys, of things you've tested yourself, then I'm up to test them as well.

Adrien I can recommend Blesta. I was using it for over a year before moving to Upmind.

There’s only a third party enhance module, but they haven’t made one of their own.

They have a very active discord community. Maybe you can try asking about your specific needs there. I don’t personally know how to work your scenario there either.

Adrien

mendozal Thanks a lot. I'm going to try. I've reduced my scenario to just two data centers (EU and USA). So I simply need each plan to have a way for the customer to select an EU or USA server.
Do you know if we can do this? Currently, 1 Enhance Package = 1 plan in Upmind and this does not work for me.

Thank you for your advice.

Adrien Sadly, I don't know.

I was thinking about configuration options or attributes, but they don't affect provisioning.

There are many new functionalities in the public roadmap regarding this, but I don't know when they'll be implemented.

Hi everyone,

Following this post, here's a quick tutorial on how to create a plan in Upmind with as many data centers as you want.
I'm setting Upmind with an EU and USA DC like that:

It is now a manual process, so it takes some time. Upmind said they will streamline this process in the UI in the future.

To set this up:

You create one product Attribute category per main product
Create the product attributes one-by-one

Attach the relevant product attributes to the relevant main products.

Set the Enhance Package ID per data center attribute

Voila!

My next tuto will be about adding another "dimension" to this setup where staging sites are provisioned on a dedicated staging sites server.
At the moment I didn't find how to do that but if upmind team does, I will share it here.

Adrien Great!
Do these attributes show as a radio button selection at checkout? Or you can select multiple?

Adrien

mendozal You can see in the very first image of my tuto that it shows as radio button. You can't select multiple fortunately.
