Clinetexec 6.8.0 meh.

Hiyooooo!

I've owned CE for a I bet 20+ years. It was exciting world back then. I never used it in a production deployment it's just always a tool I play around with and test ideas on. It's not that it is not worthy, but it's been slow and clunky for 10+ years, development feels like its moving forward but not always in the ways we can see. At least I hope that is true.

WHMCS is also a hot mess when it comes to Enhance.

With that said does anyone have a good working CMS that has a working plugin for enhance. I'm not asking for detailed billing anything. Just the basics that can create accounts, suspend accounts and terminal accounts.

Thank you for your time.

laudenbachm Someone here made a woocommerce plugin for Enhance. I believe it has the features you wanted.

Wouldn't recommend it as Wordpress security standards aren't what I'd want for this but its simple and would let you customize it.

You could also just use Stripe/Square/Paypal API with Enhance API. You would just add your logic connecting the two. ie if suspended and payment received unsuspend, after overdue notice #3 suspend, on new order create user in Enhance, etc. Stripe even has a prebuilt page where customers can login and manage their subscriptions.

Our Module for Enhance for the Blesta billing system is used by quite a few folks 🙂

Blesta.club/extensions/enhance

We also sell discounted Blesta licenses!

I've played around with Blesta before and liked it but never bought a license for it.

I'm confused with your offerings. Do they include the actual Blesta license as well?

I agree... I learned the hard way years ago with a community site that the user system and overall security sucks. I'll use WordPress for simple content only sites but nothing with a portal for users to use.

Unfortunately, I am not a programmer. I've actually been a Windows Engineer for 25 years. I'm more of a dreamer who brings things together. I would say I am a jack of all trades, master of none.

I have a need for a CMS setup for a project. Simple is better in this case. I don't need to accept payments; I just need to handle signups and provision approved accounts. I can handle user support outside the CMS. Years ago, I have a friend who developed first a cPanel management platform that turned into a server management platform that still connected with cPanel. Unfortunately, he sold that IP off and the new owners have just sat on the product for 15 years. I stopped user cPanel when they switched their licensing to what it is today. I've been playing around with Enhance in a server cluster setup for a year now and now I am hoping to find a CMS / provisioning tool for Enhance.

Thanks for the reply!

Without going into too much detail (as I plan to make a more detailed post here in this community later), Paymenter is currently in alpha development of v1 (https://v1.paymenter.org/), a completely open-source alternative without the burden of encrypted/arcane code (Laravel 11, Filament, Livewire...). Personally, I’m working on the new client area (WIP):

If you care even a little about having an open-source powerfull alternative (billing software) now or in the future, leave at least a star on GitHub (https://github.com/Paymenter/Paymenter)!

Darkle Looks awesome! You guys may want to touchup the homepage a bit, soon. The "Mobile first" image is just a narrowed desktop screenshot and the "Demo" button on the homepage has a play icon which made me think there would be a video showing off just how easy and how few clicks things are.

Instead it took me to a demo site where the shop link doesn't seem to work so nothing populates and login page doesn't say what username/password to use for the admin panel.

Again, I realize its alpha and maybe the team is already aware of this and focused on more important things. I could fix the homepage next month when I have some time if that would be useful

laudenbachm

Darkle Looks very interesting...

What is the long-term plan? Keep it free and open and support development with premium services and addons?
How far away of a production build? I have a project that a simple, yet CMS solution would be amazing. I don't need to take payments just manage signups and provision packages after approval.

I'd be interested in connecting to chat more.

Side Note: I can decrypt most of the ioncube stuff. The newer stuff is harder, and programmers are getting smarter. I don't do it to steal from the developer I do it because I like to see how things work and fix bugs on my own.

Darkle

JohnB Hey, it's been a while, but Paymenter keeps getting better. In these past months, we've made huge improvements to both the software and the website, and for the site, I took your feedback into account. We've just launched the marketplace on the website so you can now browse additional third-party integrations and themes. It would be awesome to hear what you think! (https://paymenter.org/)

laudenbachm What is the long-term plan? Keep it free and open and support development with premium services and addons?

Together with @CorwinDev, we've been brainstorming a lot of ideas, but right now the main ways to support development are through GitHub sponsors and official premium extensions like Proxmox and Pages. Of course, contributions to the ecosystem are also amazing for helping it grow 🙂

laudenbachm How far away of a production build? I have a project that a simple, yet CMS solution would be amazing. I don't need to take payments just manage signups and provision packages after approval.

Yes, it's fully production-ready, the latest version is 1.2.6, so it's a great time to jump in and try it out. For what you've described, it's more than capable.

If you find the project interesting, drop a star on GitHub to keep up with project updates!

laudenbachm I agree... I learned the hard way years ago with a community site that the user system and overall security sucks. I'll use WordPress for simple content only sites but nothing with a portal for users to use.

Unfortunately, I am not a programmer.

I think a problem with the wordpress community is the majority of its users and plugin installers are either not programmers or bad ones. This creates a community where bad developers learn can easily sell bad quality plugins.

For example, I won't usually use any plugin that has had past SQL injection vulnerabilities in the last 10 years because it shows complete and utter incompetence from their developers and review process.

However, most users and average/bad programmers won't even review past vulns before installing, much less know what they mean. THAT is a community problem that doesn't enforce and encourage properly secure plugins.

Its 2025, certain security failures should be the end of a plugin/company. However, what I usually see is "thanks for the quick fix you guys are the best!" facepalm

blestaclub

laudenbachm Hey! Apologies for the late reply - Just catching up on work!

We offer discounted licenses, https://blesta.club/blesta 🙂

Reach out to us anytime if you need anything!

blestaclub

kyzoeadmin Yeah there's a ClientExec importer, Blesta themselves provide it! Just activate the Import Manager plugin!

Obviously goes without saying, Turn off cron jobs and backup before you begin and test things out! That should be done with any change of system!

chromico

Blesta is good, but it has fewer decent client themes than WHMCS. The most convenient option I've found is Upmind but it has some limitations such as theming and adding custom payment gateways.

blestaclub

chromico You know, It absolutely was when I started using it years ago - There's a few great ones now and our good friend over at SystemFreaks.com made the page builder plugin, The level of control over themes is fantastic! I'd highly reccomend him. Great guy, Great support and being able to make pretty much anything work is highly valuable!

Swiftmodders
made a Blesta Theme aswell which is great and I actually use it on one of my other sites! We went full custom build for our Blesta.Club website then slapped a bit of css and a few js changes to our Blesta install!

blestaclub

Just to shamelessly self promote - Our clients get discounts on those two ^ products! You get a promocode from our client area! If anyone makes the switch over, You can also save a bit of cash!

Andrei

@blestaclub do you make custom modules?

blestaclub

Andrei Yeah absolutely! Pretty reasonably priced aswell 🙂 Pop a ticket in with what you're after and we can have a chat!

Andrei

blestaclub I've sent you an email.

blestaclub

sales@blesta.club is the best email for that!

Andrei

blestaclub Yeah, that's where I've sent it.

Andrei

blestaclub You know what puzzles me about Blesta, it seems so weird for me, being used to WHMCS, it's the ordering flow. When ordering a web hosting plan, you don't get the 3 options like in WHMCS: register a domain, transfer a domain, and use your own domain; there's just a field where you enter the domain. I think it's bad user experinece, but maybe I don't know how to set it up.
