Enhance WHMCS module on GitHub so we can help

xyzulu

Enhance, you guys have enough to do.. and on the roadmap you plan to improve the WHMCS module. If you let us help, we can probably make this task much easier (and faster). What do you say?

This is a no-brainer.

Is the module they have encoded? if not why not just fork it and make a community version ?

+1. This, I believe, is the best course of action.

The module is already open source, graciously provided by the Enhance dev team, but lacks a public repo (at least to my knowledge).

The Enhance dev team has a lot on their plate, and it makes more sense for them to focus on the core software itself rather than splitting time on the WHMCS module. Handing the core development of the module to the community would allow for faster feature additions/development, more rigorous testing, and (arguably) better bug tracking. It would be a more robust solution overall.

Let the community run with it—we’re ready.

The most complete module for whmcs is from @mmhospedagem

I was hoping by means of this thread to have Enhance support this idea and therefore have all the WHMCS development the community is doing funnelled back into the official version. Right now we already have a number of versions/patches and improvements floating around.. quite fragmented if you ask me.

What wrong with a fork? Add everyone that want's to contribute and just go for it?

@Adam @Aliysa_Enhance its agreat idea to offload the work on the module

I think eventually I will use hostbill but I am for it to get the WHMCS module on GitHub so more licenses of Enhance get sold in the end.

Currently using hostfact for the dutch market its ok. it does not support Enhance yet but it might in the future. I just like its self hosted and the invoices are all by cronjob.

Each package require a lot of customization for me.

Jordan What wrong with a fork?

Some already have essentially done that. But, I am not willing to devote to a fork if Enhance isn't going to use/list it.. it's a waste of time since few will get benefits from an independent fork.

Jordan

xyzulu I understand your logic. If Enhance was backing a fork, would would you devote to the fork? What do you mean by few will get benefits from an independent fork?

There isn't anything that Enhance can do that someone else can do when it comes to creating a WHMCS integration, unless there is a lack of API endpoints. To my knowledge, that doesn't exist?

xyzulu

Jordan If Enhance was backing a fork, would would you devote to the fork?

Any changes/feature additions I were to make to the module.

Jordan

xyzulu So the concern is putting time into something and then Enhance releasing something that competes or replicates the same functionality.

There's lots of benefits of an independant fork, mostly that it's hyper focused with multiple contributors. Unless Enhance can dedicate multiple people to the WHMCS module, it's unlikely it will get much movement or traction.

I'm sure they wouldn't mind you posting a changelog here 🙂

Has any progress been made here? I think this is a great idea.

I just ran into an issue that required modifying the module: https://community.enhance.com/d/3219-enhance-whmcs-module-giving-already-provisioned-error

Exactly the kind of situation where a pull request makes sense so everyone can benefit and so I won't have to re-apply the changes when updating next.

tradenet

It would be nice IMHO, to have an open source community based repository.

I completely agree with the idea of having the Enhance WHMCS module on GitHub.

Right now, one of the biggest limitations is that many providers need to build custom fixes, hooks, and provisioning improvements, but everyone ends up doing the same work separately.

Having the module openly maintained on GitHub would allow:

• faster bug fixes
• community pull requests
• real-world testing from hosting providers
• better long-term stability
• faster feature development without waiting for official releases

Several providers have already mentioned the same concern, and even Enhance documentation still describes the module as a “work in progress”

That is exactly why I started building my own version:
https://community.enhance.com/d/3557-enhance-whmcs-integration-module-for-community-testing-and-feedback

The goal is not to compete with the official module, but to help push the ecosystem forward and provide something more production-ready for providers already running Enhance in real environments.

At the moment, the project already improves:

• domain and organization linking
• package selection inside WHMCS
• provisioning workflow
• automation logic
• practical day-to-day management

I strongly believe GitHub collaboration is the right path here.

If the community contributes together instead of everyone maintaining private fixes, Enhance adoption becomes much stronger for everyone.

I would be very happy to see more providers testing, contributing ideas, and sharing real production feedback.
