Maybe we should create a dedicated topic to it here

Yes, this will be awesome.
Do you know if the code is available somewhere? I saw a lot of people asking but no reply from the @fagnerlins

olivierlambert

Nope, but maybe it's somewhere on the web?

Sorry for bumping, but there is now.

The WHMCS module is called: Xenica

It's not Open Source?

A Former User

@olivierlambert Unfortunately not... It is paid 30 euros... I wished there was an open-source variant.

Thank you very much for the link

@fred974 Although I hope someone will be developping an open-source version of this one

There is several different ways that XenOrchestra and WHMCS could potentially interact.

Main Features of WHMCS
*Monthly Invoicing System for Hosting Companies
*Client Portal for Hosting Clients
*Auto-Provisioning/De-Provisioning features upon Order completion / Payment verification
*CRM, List of Accounts, Contacts Per Account, Contact Permissions/Functions
*Resouce Usage Billing

Since I already have my clients email addresses, and their contacts emails with password, I should be able to create an AUTH plugin atleast so that I dont need users to keep 2 sets of passwords?

I already have this working ... maybe it can be made into an auth plugin easily?

<?php
     	session_start();
        if(isset($_GET["email"]) && isset($_GET["password"]))
        {
                $_SESSION["email"] = $_GET["email"];
                $_SESSION["password"] = $_GET["password"];
        }
	if($_SESSION["email"] != "" && $_SESSION["password"] != "")
        {
                $url = "https://www.mywhmcs.net/includes/api.php"; # URL to WHMCS API file
                $username = "Russell"; # Admin username goes here
                $password = "russellspassword"; # Admin password goes here
                $postfields["username"] = $username;
                $postfields["password"] = md5($password);
                $postfields["action"] = "validatelogin";
                $postfields["email"] = $_SESSION['email'];
                $postfields["password2"] = $_SESSION['password'];

                $ch = curl_init();
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 100);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields);
                $data = curl_exec($ch);
                curl_close($ch);

                $data = explode(";",$data);
                foreach ($data AS $temp) {
                  $temp = explode("=",$temp);
                  $results[$temp[0]] = $temp[1];
                }
        }
	else
	{
                session_destroy();
        }
	$loggedIn = $results["result"] == "success";

I think there's already a WHMCS plugin out there for XO

Hmm maybe I don't remember exactly. Anyway, Xen Orchestra got an API, so it should be relatively easy to write your own plugin

xerio

For anybody that ends up on this old discussion regarding the Xenica WHMCS addon. It might be interesting to know that they charge $30 per month and it seems not to have been maintained in a very long time.
For vmware there is a suite of scripts with working examples, for Xen Orchestra we have the API set, but it would still be very beneficial to get the original plan of @olivierlambert in this blog post, back on track.

I could provide a WHMCS test setup, people for testing (agents of hosting companies), and participate as much as my limited programming skills allow

We'll be happy to assist on what you need API wise to make it real
