WHMCS IE Registrar Module

[31–May-2021] 2.2.0

- NEW: Tickets Addon developed. This will allow staff to see any ticket associated with Pending Domains, and clicking the link will take the user to the .IE upload page, with the ticket ID pre-filled.
- Improvement to the alternatives to finfo for file MIME checking on the application template uploader, falling back to the client-determined MIME type if PHP cannot determine it.
- Fixes to the application template when a document upload fails. It wasn’t allowing the user to continue to submit the form without a document attached upon failure, like it’s supposed to.
- Reworked the file upload error messages, clearing up any confusion about being able to continue to submit the order and send the documents by email manually thereafter.
- Fixed a visual anomaly with the file list table rows only being approximately half the width of the table.
- Additional document recipient email addresses are added to the email's CC header, instead of being split into multiple To addresses.
- Added proper handling of multiple document recipient email addresses in the template.
- The client area Get EPP button now links to the correct action parameter in the URL to bring up the success message.
- Sync cron now checks if a domain is owned by a charity registrant, to exclude them from autodelete and autocancel processes.
- WHMCS Sync and Transfer Sync now have better error checking to prevent PHP Fatal Errors if there’s a connection issue at any stage during the run.
- Fixed Object to String Conversion PHP error during the domain registration process, which was occurring at the logging stage after successful registration.

[18–Jan-2021] 2.1.4

*** We recommend you check each domain that has been transferred since TITAN went live and update
the Tech and Billing contact on each manually in the TITAN Portal
– Improvements to the Sync Cron for handling situation where duplicate domains are in WHMCS with differing Statuses.
No action is taken on these domains now, they are just reported.
– Added in checks to ensure min version of PHP & WHMCS are being used.

[02–Dec-2020] 2.1.1

– Updated the Domain Renewal function to cater for domains that are expired, but have been Auto Renewed by the Registry,
so that when the domain is renewed by the client, it does not end up with +1 extra years on the renewal period of the invoice
– Support for WHMCS internal Domain Expiry Date Sync function has been re-enabled
– New optional cron script enabled for Active Sync. This can be run as often as you want and it will check any pending .ie
domains in WHMCS, and if they are live with the .IE Registry, it will change the domain from “Pending Registration” to “Active”
in WHMCS. See the README file.
– Updated procedure for New Registrations to ensure that the Admin Contact uses personal details.

– Update the document uploader in the Ticket system and the Registration interface to accept files of 10MB in size each instead of 5MB to allow for larger smartphone photo submissions
– The Registration interface now requires the Admin Contact details to be filled in – previously it was optional and used the client’s WHMCS profile data when not filled
– The Registration interface has clearer wording about what is permitted in terms of the Domain Registrant and Admin Contact

[14–Jan-2020] 1.4.2

– IEDR Sync: Setting domains with a Pending/Pending Registration/Pending Transfer status in WHMCS to Active, if Active in the IEDR

[06–Aug-2019] 1.4.1
– Remove the need for custom Country/Counties for Northern Ireland, as the module now will auto convert internally to match the IEDR system.
– Updated the hook, so after registration of a .ie, the domain is set to ‘Pending Registration’, instead of ‘Pending’
– Various bug fixes & improvements in the new Template interface
– WHMCS 5 & 6 are no longer supported.

[16–June-2019] 1.4.0
– New application template for client area registration of .ie domain names (see demo on https://www.elive.me).
– Removed all registration fields for .ie transfers in the client area – leaving only the EPP code field.
– Document uploader included in the new client area registration process which sends the documents to a nominated email address in the module’s settings.*
– Added CSRF protection using WHMCS native token process to all ajax form requests, including those in the Ticket addon.
– The Ticket addon’s document submission now submits attachments in one email to the IE Domain Registry, where previously it sent each attachment in a separate email.
– Added an option to display the Hostmaster’s Status for each ticket on the ticket index page.
– Various bug fixes and optimisations.

* We will look into sending documents directly to the IE Domain Registry on a hook after registration is complete in a future update, as sending documents to the IE Domain Registry before a ticket is created on their system won’t automatically assign the documents to the ticket after it’s created.

*** NOTE: To make use of the new client area .ie registration template , it is EXTREMELY important that all additional fields need to be exactly as we supply them in additionalfields.php, as the template code heavily relies on each field having a certain index number – set by order of where they’re listed in additionalfields.php.

[20–Dec-2018] 1.3.7
– Optional : Updated Additional Fields to have more clarification around registering
– Optional : Added to the Hook to give an error if some fields are not filled in during order process
– Support for WHMCS Domain expiry date sync.
– IDN Support implemented – This feature is still in BETA, as there are certain limitations EG: Cannot set DNS Servers containing IDN text
– Update to Tickets Add-on – Prevent Domain Holder being changed during Transfer.
– Various Code improvements.
– Fixed an issue with the Tickets Add-on that caused the add-on page to render blank on Activate/Deactivate

[12–Apr-2018] 1.3.6

– Workaround: The IEDR issue related to contacts not having a phone number or company name causing libxml_display_errors has been resolved.
– Fix: Pasting text into fields with invisible characters causing an IEDR UTF-8 Validation Error has been resolved.
– Fix: Hook to set the domain as Pending from Active when a new domain is registered was previously using an incorrect parameter in the WHERE clause.
– Added: Checks to ensure phone number, company, and email fields are formatted correctly before saving contact details. The IEDR accepts any non-empty value without further validation which could cause a libxml_display_error on return if the data doesn’t match the XML schema.
– Added: New configuration option to allow Nameservers to be left as current, or to continue to use the WHMCS default and custom ones specified in the text fields on domain transfer .
– Added: More debug options in the configuration to explicitly add the configuration dumps to the client area and to explicitly include the Login command (which will contain your IEDR username and password) in the dump. Left unchecked the dumps will be limited to the admin area and will exclude the Login command.
– Modified: Charity domains are excluded from the nightly reports and when renewed in WHMCS they now return as successful, without actually processing the renewal with the IEDR – which would return a response with an error.
– Tested for WHMCS 7.5 and encoded to support PHP 5.6 & 7.1 with Ioncube 10.x
