hello

hello there!

i sent a message back in UV

hi seen that i just got in

Must be early as hell over there

or, wait...late at night, yeah...

11:10 pm

im a night owl

Typical that's myself as well

Just bouncing right now between things.

i should be here most the night

i own shockwaves i might have to dj tho

my first dj didnt show up

eh, business. lol

no suprise. Just wanted to touch base as much as possible

I myself am doing data entry, somewhat boring yet necessary work

and my second shift dj went on first so i may need to do the 2nd show stating in about a hour

I'll be quick to start then

we can elaborate further once we both have some free time

ok

I came to ya because of DJ_Capper, he didn't say "goto Ace and be like sup". It was more like he asked me a question concerning integrating signup information.

This was November, and due to the new Property Catalogue and our new Event, it's basically be nuts to the wall with work

I actually came across you from his profile, and decided to go directly to the source for anything of this venture, etc etc

ok, so your site I looked at and I was like "this doesn't look right"

it's just a minor thing, code here and there. Also, there's alot of things that can happen to help /streamline/ your customers to signing up and paying you

well, not alot. As I mentioned, automated signup (instead of a file to download, etc), Paypal buttons that would be 1-click to paying the bill, etc

I notied you do SL stuff as well, but none of the contact have a SL handle available (caught me as odd, of course)

yes second life we are still trying to get a foot in the door there

I know the feeling.

Off question, how many DJ's do you have, as well as sold streams?

my general manager and asst general manger are over there

nothing accurate, a range is nice if you don't mind.

close to 300

ok, the reason I ask is two-fold

we've been trying to branch out our services to our customer base

I can't brag that we have a reach of users, but we do have more than the usual

long story short, we've been looking for other services, and your DJ'in service caught both Saki's and My eye

It wouldn't obsolete your site in any way, no

that's not the intention, nor is it to steal your business.

My data entry that i'm doing now is for a third project, and squeezing in a fourth is pretty nice as well.

This is only an option, not mandatory for what we spoke about

It's simply an idea

I still would like to work with you on exchanging my skill for your site with ad space if we can mutually agree on conditions

Yeah, I type alot....programmer thing

ok something i will touch upon you mentioned is some the automation in the works with the WHMCS software intagrates with the dj software setups , via shopping cart and stream will be made automaticly , also software will send out billing reminders , and will work via pay pal, i started this project in nov reseached every thing to find what would work with my djing software , this is what i have came up with will work for us, but this will not work with rays very well by the looks of this things would have to be enterd manualy , so i guess thats the area where id be looking for the most help in automation

Cool

as far are stream app auto mation i have this set up but opted for a more personal approch of contacting us on skype or rlc

As far as what I have for UVD, alot of the code is portable to other servers. This includes synching your RLC transaction history with a website database, sending out profile message mails, and bulletins.

It basically requires a centralized profile to do that, much like we have the UVDeviant profile

yes ive always said to the techs we need to figure out how to hook up like uvd

Better that UVD comes to your doorstop....

yes

in some way you heard me

well, we'll just call it a "shout down the wire"

Ok, so I'm interested in the Marquee that scrolls with your player, maybe site advertisements.

The future plan of basically putting your services on UVDeviant would be the exchange of that as well. We could even go as far as people paying using their UVDeviant accounts and the rays being deposited in your profile from that.

yes that was built in from the start just for that purpose

-bam-

its on all the players

I saw. I did my research.

and works off a single page , so is easly editable

very nice.

I'm glad we touched base. If you could, can you provide me some sort of checklist of things that I could do for you, and I can inform you of what I can and cannot do for you, as well as what I would need from you to do such items?

begining of jan i also added the ads bar which is on all pps pages

I saw that from the menu's with the pricing.

i put together a small team to start to try to sell ad space but we havent , really stepped it up yet

as far as a central user on rlc yes we have a rlc profile made for billing purposes

Cool. that's good to hear

also dec we also have moved into 3d sex , runing there 3dsex radio and we also except clams

and there is vip profile there also

Mmk, we're familiar with some of their Techs from talks about 8 months ago.

So, what I said earlier. Can you shoot me a list at your leisure?

well i think the first step is the ray intagration, 90% of our biz is done in rays

Is that all to the business UV profile?

Incoming and Outgoing?

the pps profile is a rlc lic buissness

Profile URL:

http://www.redlightcenter.com/PurePowerStreams

k, got it written down

CENTOS 5.9 x86_64 standard

WHM 11.34.1 (build 7) is the pps server software

I just sent PPS a friend request from the UVD profile

ok ive excepted

After ray integration, was there a second step?

well i guess thats some thing id have to look at after checking out the billing software i have, it has just been me doing the web pages, im very busy teching and building streams, and personal players, but my general manager angeleyesamy does do player building from the template i designed

Ok, sounds good. Couple techy questions: Do you know if the server has MySQL, cURL, and the ability to use fopen with a URL wrapper?

other than that, the integration should be simple with no rewrite.

well, little rewrite

i know it has mysql

Curl i would have to check the techs at the data center, i have full support with them, if i get in over my head they do the config stuff

they have 24-7 phone support

Do you have root access to the server? Is it a shared host, or a Virtual Server, or a dedicated server?

maybe a simpler question, do you have cron access?

yes i have root access and it dedicated server

ok, cool

Give me about 24-48 hours to pull code, convert it over, and write up a quick how-to on it for you to install it.

For your billing software, does that need some form of report format that the rays data need to be in for it to be imported?

haha that i do not know this software is all new altho ive had it since nov i've opened 2 times after the server techs got it installed , and i pay for this on monthy fee too so ya i need to getthis configured soon to put it in use

i also have the softacus scrip installer on the server too ive installed a survey system and an job site software also which i was playing around with for djs or clubs to post gigs thats about done also and ready to got into use

never heard of it to be honest lol

k, i've read about it

probably not gonna be familiar with it, but the website looks pretty

it installs scripts for differnt web site functions

i got the jist from the site lol

this is the job site im making i havent showed this off yet , but this should incress traffic some

it's, very colorful

ya it wasnt easy to integrate

The menu is a bit bothersome, with the "Future Use" and "Null" things....but otherwise I hope it does ya well

ya i thats botherd me

Ok, i'm gonna roll back to my focus here, i'll be back in contact with ya hopefully in the next 24-48.

Maybe with a resolution for your menu as well

i had al these ideas ect where it was going to be in use

but as time gos on things i didnt get done

Yeah, Ideas are typically more than resources

ya taking them out is a quick fix

i have been thinking about doing a differnt menu

Theres honestly many options out there

for me there isnt enough time in the day my rlc club is open 7 days a aweek 8-10 hours aday, i have lil time in the morning to get most my stream work done

Well, hope I can help ya as much as I can

i dj

alot of the time im at my club im help or settting up new djs

i have stream techs

that help with installs ,

just amy and i ddo streams and players

that requires server access

i learned a lesson with a couple techs i had and server access, i had a stream server helper gave pw to a tech he went in deleted the site and 1/3 of the streams ,

Well, server access is up to you. I write for you to install.

of couse i had the site backed up

that was no issue it was just reloading every and remaking the deleted streams

and some down time for some djs

understandable

well thank you, looking forward to getting this going with uvd and getting ads up and going for you

Appreciate it

this will tell you ad sizes so we get the right size

and we can get something on the ticker too

10-4

i will be here if you got any more questions

will do ace

I think this contains everything. Instructions included

If this works as intended, we can proceed to getting your transaction history downloaded from your server in some format needed by your program

ok i will try it

Do you know PHP/MySQL? I wrote the instructions assuming this case.

i think i can install scripts , im not the best at data base stuff though , i can read most html / php scrips in txt pretty good with coding

Then I believe the instructions are well suited for you

Just to be clear, all this does so far is basically keep your Utherverse Transaction History on your server.

ya thats a step to have the info, i guess i need to do something with it when i get it

as on uvd , you log in and have a account

that rays are in

djs would have to pay for there streams out of the rays in there account

if there was some sort of logical chain of events

and ultimatly at the end i guess there would have to be some sort of manual intervention, of what was paid

Do all DJ's pay the same amount?

ok, bad question. it's based on subscription term

well atthis point its all manual

i go get transaction from history and mark it down on spred sheet

i use a online spred sheet

to track billing keep info

So, you just need to know if a DJ has paid anytime in the last XX days.

I'm just trying to break this down into some simple steps

ya its no small task to design a billing system in rays to do what it needs to do ,

plus if the dj pays in paypal

or now in clams

this info i would say would all have to goto some sort of master tracking list

More needs to be centralized somewhere.

and be put in the proper place

the djs i would say also, would need a account on the pps web site to do there transactions

If all they are doing is paying their "DJ Bills" in rays, then sending the rays to the PPS UV profile is all that's needed

Downloading the data from UV to your server gives a bigger advantage for another script to "process" that payment

ok

All you need is a way to identify:

- Which DJ's have paid their bills in Rays

- Which DJ's are due to pay

- Which DJ's haven't paid

from what you've told me, this is how "simple" i think i've broken it down to. I might be wrong.

as i said i master tracking spred sheet and do all this manual

this is what i need to stream lines

that sums it up well

Ok, I assume you have a "list" somewhat of all DJ's in Utherverse that you've sold to, how much they owe, and when their next due dates are?

....this is the spreadsheet, i think

yes

ok

its got active dj and disocnected djs

1 more varable there whichs djs are disconected

and or which djs should be shut off

for non payment

mmk

the disconects will have to be done manually

i have to go in a supend the streams

Does the spreadsheet contain any other types of payments, or is it specificially for rays payment?

it contains the stream info , user info , emails ect, broken down by month , and all transactions are manually added

so yes paypal

and clams

are loged

as to what type of payment is made for that month

Ok, the ray script can be modified to pull in Clams too, but it'd have to be in a different database table

I'm not sure how much mod, 3dsex = utherverse, but the script would have to be customed to it

ok what if did this i create a user / subdomain , say www.billing.purepowerstreams.com , and give you access to this that way you can do the testing

you can make the data bases , and have all the tools on that you need

it can have its own ftp

That might help, i'd have to do the work in my off time.

ok let me see if i can get that set up

give me a few mins to look it over

take your time, i'm 50/50 deviant/you right now

ok

hey if you want i can get signs up in my club for uvd, i own shockwaves, we have alot of clothing sponsors

yeah, but all those clothing sponsors are UVC. I'll have to talk to Saki on that

a nice kiosk for your site couldnt hurt that take you to your site, up to you

I understand, still up to the bosslady

Shes already busy with our show in a month

well i got the account made

i got in the ftp

i can get into cpanel via root , but i cant figure out what addres to access cpanel with out going through root

so you can get in cpanel

i...don't really use cpanel

FTP is good, some way to connect to the database would be better

well thats where you config the mysql

yeah, but cpanel is sort of the site administration thing

ok well here is the ftp stuff

69.175.22.146

bill

580sp8nkbg3i

aight, i'll ping it later to see what's in and not

thx ok

ill be around more tonight

hows it going tonight

Just finishing up a 2 hour movie break

Haven't had a chance yet to get as far as the FTP. the current workload is both HUGE and COOL AS HELL

But I do have you squeezed in at about 8-9p my time

np when ya got time

Did you happen to get that script running? Also, do you have any way for me to access the database?

no i didnt try since i thought you was going to try , but i will take a look now see what i can figure out

that address to get into cpanel

user bill

580sp8nkbg3i

pw

that work to get ya in cpanel

mmk, peek at it in a couple

ok

k, I configured up a database, put the table into it, tested the connection via PHP, Curl, and fsockopen, all is good.

cool

lol now what

the getUtherverseTransactionLog.php is the script that connects to Utherverse to grab your Transaction History.

That will need your login credentials for Utherverse, as well as a page you need to get to place into that code for it to work

For security purposes, I'd recommend you move the files outside of the "bill" folder and place them somewhere else prior to configuration. You'll also need to setup a cron job to run that script to bring the Utherverse Transaction History into the database

After this is done, I can do the same w/ the Clams to bring that in as well.

After that, I can work with the Paypal UI to hopefully pull in that information as well.

Goal, of course, is to have all data from every place available in one location

I mean, why access 3 sites when you have it all at one location

i agree

I suppose my goal would be to eliminate your cool and lifelong spreadsheet

and to help you manage your DJ's payments and what streams they use better, possibly giving you administrative capability from the billing area as well

It could go to the point of automatically shutting down their stream for non-payment, but that's up to you

well thats possible later but id rater keep a hands on the shut offs

once again, that's up to you

Right, so that I don't have access to your Username and Password for Utherverse

dont all the files need to be in the folders you put them in

nope

It's not a website that runs that file. It's a cron job, which is called by the OS. It could be anywhere at that point, as long as you and the OS know where the file resides

and we just talking this perticular file right

yes, the instructions I initially sent you detailed what to do in there. If you download and open the file, the information at the top under "// Variables" is commented so that you know what goes where

i did look at it

mmk

ok i guess i read this a couple times so i dled the get transactionslog.php

$uv_username="email@address.com"; // Utherverse profile Login (email address)

$uv_password="password"; // Utherverse profile Password

fill that in

right

then put it where?

back where it was

i gues id say www.billing.purepowerstreams.com would need a index so the contents wont be displayed

in the ftp

as a web page

ok i dropped a index file that redirects the http://www.billing.purepowerstreams.com to http://www.purepowerstreams.com

sorry, was putting the wife to bed

if my email address to log into utherverse was alpha@beta.com, the line would look like

$uv_username="alpha@beta.com";

same deal with the password

and yes, once you edit the script just replace it.

and yeah, the index file was a good idea

ok thats done

lemme check someone on cpanel

you said you have shell access to the system? or was it root access

i can get in the the main cpanel , and root ftp

but you don't have console access like through SSH/putty or anything?

i can get in to manage server

ok, why i ask is so I could help ya to get the cron job setup

that has to be done on the main server you cant do it in the user cron in that cpanel

which, you can do, right?

i as i said i can get in the main server and the user bill

aight, so, yeah. you'll have to move the 2 files out and setup the cron job on that

would it be easier to call?

I don't understand the connection

call me on skype?

to talk rather than type

Unfortunately I can't take a call right now whilst i'm already in one

ok

Ok, so do you know how to setup a cron job?

sort of i just read about it , lil , ive never done 1

i read its a scheduling thing to get something

yes, it is.

Do you have remote shell access?

well not sure on that

okay now we're getting somewhere

lemme try something here...

ok, so you should have remote access to your server

using the username "bill" with the account and password you setup for me, I can access the servers console.

Setup Remote MySQL server

I don't have root access, so I can't do much aside from view and modify the files that were created in the /home/bill folder

nonononono

not Remote MySQL server

Setup Remote Access Key

Did you tell me you had techs that could possibly set this up?

yes there are techs

i can put in a ticket they get on it pretty fast

ok, let me show you something

PuTTY is a terminal program that allows system administrators to access Linux Server Consoles

I use it for most of my administrative tasks with all the servers I work with

what you see in the screenshot is me logging into your server and viewing /etc/crontab

this file (/etc/crontab) is where you would place the commands to run the file that I sent you

since you have root access, you could modify this file. I cannot modify this file

now, with all that said I could walk you through the steps you need to do this, or you could put in a ticket to ask to get the php file running in cron

let me look more here see if i can find what you mean

mmk

so you want me to go in the root ftp?

might want to put in that ticket lol

i found these folders

/etc/cron.hourly

/etc/cron.monthly

yes, those folders are used to run a series of programs on an hourly timer

or monthly

or weekly, etc

there's 4 of them

and then there is the master file in /etc called crontab

found it

ok, cool

that's the file that schedules jobs

lemme find my text document

I know what it looks like

it was in the screenshot I sent you

oh i thought you had to edit it

...we still need to relocate the files I mentioned before

ok

to be safe, you can put them both in a folder in the purepowerstreams website

that way they are outside my touch and within yours

after that, I can give you the command to put in crontab to run that

like that

in the crontab file

make a line underneath everything (you want to keep it)

and put that line in there

oops lol

change the */1 part to */5

it's in the beginning of the command

__________________________________________

that a signature line?

[8:40:04 AM] M: make a line underneath everything (you want to keep it)

make a line

no lol

like, a blank line

line break ok

i'm still lol'in

ok

i think i got it

yup

except the file isn't at

http://www.purepowerstreams.com/billing/getUtherverseTransactionLog.php

.....

i think i know whats wrong

mmk

its the ownership

if you uploaded them via FTP like you do with all your other files then it should be fine

it there now i uploaded through the pps ftp user

look now

mmk, lemme test

its there but blank

i had that problem before the owner ship messed up the files from displaying on the web

mmk...

it's not updating the database

now what is doing what it spose to do

and it doesn't provide output cause, well, that'd be a security issue

ok

oh, duh

you have to provide a number as well

when you get to the UV page you need that number to access your transaction history

it's in the script as well. if it's logging in, it might not be getting to that page, and i might've forgot to mention it lol

ok

whats the number

you'll need to log into your redlightcenter profile

go to your transaction history

and look at your Address Bar

the number is at the end, past the =

ok got it

ok, that goes into the script as well, 3rd line

12345678

right, it's replaces that

and to recap, your email address and utherverse password are in there so the script can login as you, right?

all up dated

ok, things are working

lol how can you tell

cause i'm logged into the database

ahh

it's synchronizing your recent 50 entries of your UV transaction log to it

and the cron job will keep it updated

first step in many for this real-time billing and management system

ok

ok, now the hard part is done, and you've also got some learning for ya

i'll work on clams next, shouldn't be hard to convert over

all righty then, should go alot faster

we'll see. is there anyways in your admin control panel to reload the cron configuration?

or to send a shell command?

maybe a server restart

that would definitely do that, but wouldn't that also stop most of your streams?

oh ya

it would stop all the streams

mmhmm

not a good thing

what would the topic be under in cpanel

in whm

restart sevices

possibly

if Cron is in there, do that

nothing about cron

scheduling?

no i dont see any topic for scheduling

what kind of function

i'm googling it now for cpanel

whm

if you only had root shell access

http://www.thecpaneladmin.com/everything-you-wanted-to-know-about-cron/

This is what I found

i have the whm panel

ok

/etc/init.d/crond restart

try that in there

this is my whm panel

o wow, that's admin BOSS

Aside from Service Configuration, i don't see much to work with unless there's more on the left menu scrolling down

ya i should be ablr to do somethign in there if i know where to go

THERE IS SCROLLING DOWN

opps

Maybe under "restart services"?

nope, not there

ok, we'll wait for the auto reload..unsure when that is

ya there is search top that nothing ops in for cron

not that i have over a amount of people sending rays there might be hours before another transaction occurs

let me ask you this

will i need to start getting memebrs id?

nope

not yet, at least

ever dealt with lindens from secon life

no, i haven't

i've got a SL account form 6 years ago

amy is over in sl thinking on taking lindens lol shes over there alot

that might be a challenging market

SL's been popular and around

we got djs over there , but we dont take lindens

ok i guess were done for now huh

for now yeah

big step we rock TY

np

have a good day , im going to catch some zzzzzzzzz

sleep well

just a note, you might want to put in a ticket to restart your cron daemon

hi

the base isnt updating?

no, not suprising. the new cron configuration has to be reloaded by telling cron to do that.

ok and we never did figure out how to do that

on your system, yeah.

all the utilities you have don't give you shell access, or at least we can't find it.

ok i will put in a quick ticket to do that

so tell them to do a restart of cron daemon

or reload the new cron configuration

either way, same result

ok sent the ticket

cool cool

i do have a question regarding the getUtherverseTransactionLog.php i know that has the pps log in info , but what are the risks of somebody getting ahold of that , is there a permission setting, and maybe there on the pps site wouldnt be the best place for that, concidering ther are programs that download whole website files

you have programs that download entire websites going on?

i know there are programs that can do that

oh

ive seen them

well, if anybody has FTP access, yes, they can do that

but anybody even accessing any of the files via browser would only see blank

it's just a script that does work, and places no output to the user

the security risk comes into who has FTP access to PPS, basically

if it's just you, cool...

wells its just me and amy , but amy knows the log in stuff

then your pretty secure

you can get any file from a web site tho

make a html page with a link to the file , rt click and save as

give it a shot. all your gonna get is no content.

ok

the script itself doesn't deliver content to the user. it just does server work

well they said they restarted the cron but looking at the data base it doesnt look like the transactions updated

mmk, lemme check here

The job is meant to run every 5 minutes

I'll check again in a bit

Do you have any new transaction after 2013-02-27 13:11:00, or transaction 884797570?

3 of them

it pulled them in yesterday, unsure why it's not doing it now

simply cause the script is programmed not to give me information from the website >.<

nothing has changed, right?

looks like there is other in the data base from the system

o

duh, i didn't sort it

yeah, there is

ok, give it more time, i'll see if the job runs in the next 5 or so

i will send a ray from ace

that'll work too

i just viewed the profile

mmk, i'm assuming the job will run in the next 3-4 mins

it should automatically pull it down

lol are we takin bets?

if so, i'd hope i win...

but for now, lets not and say we did

were betting it updates woot roll the ray transaction

...ok, i'm giving it 3 more minutes here

ok, i'm gonna initiate it from the server to see if all is good......if i can

mmk, cron is not reloaded....

or, restarted

script works like a charm, just no automation and such

i actually ran the command from the console that's in Cron, all was fine

they said they restarted

looks like they did

i'm gonna monitor it the next 4 mins

he said this to me

Also, you can restart cron by typing (as root)

/etc/init.d/crond restart

Thank you.

yeah, that's what i sent ya yesterday

where do i do this

you have to do it from the shell/console

as root

did you update the /etc/crontab file 7 minutes ago?

i looked at that file

aight, it lost an ending carriage return

blasted, gotta wait another 5

this is how the file should look right

yup

exactly as i see it on the server

ok good

don't see it executing it

ok, quick question. how come we cannot use cpanel's cron control?

i was going to ask you that , i mean there is a place to add new cron job in there

[2/27/2013 10:01:55 PM] M: ok, why i ask is so I could help ya to get the cron job setup

[2/27/2013 10:02:34 PM] american ace: that has to be done on the main server you cant do it in the user cron in that cpanel

you told me so

for the sake of it, i added it under bill's user in cpanel

just testing if it works or not

hmm maybe i missunderstood you

yeah, that worked

or was replying to something else

k, just remove the line from crontab

it's working like a charm now

so make the old crontab file what it was before

yup

ok done

cool, automation engaged

i didnt see the data base updated with the new transactions

past frickey

they are there

you have to sort the table by transaction ID descending

or...primary key, Descending

well i did it by date

i see them

i will send another ray see if it updates in 5 mins then

ok i sent 2 rays

there it is

cool

its working good

i viewed a profile and it loged it in

i know it's workin good

so now whats next

?

we went over this yesterday: Clams Sync to database, Paypal Sync to database, Loading up all DJ's that currently use streams along with their dates of payment, plans, strems, etc, for central management, making job to automatically track who's due for billing, who's paid, and who's past due.

Goal is basically one page where you can go and see who's good and not good

right

ok when ever your ready to do clams let me know,

i will

like i said, my off time

ok ty ^5 ill be around

Saki mentioned back about the space you offerred in your club, how do you arrange that?

got a sign you want to use? and a link where?

Have you ever been to Central Mall?

ive heard of it

no i havent been there

i have them on fl also i believe

Sakis' got UVD Ad stuff there. I think that's what she was thinking of.

ok ill see if i can get there check out the display

im at central mall now

well i looked seen some signs for a the uvd fair we can get some thing up nice for that

still have to send me the signs url and links tho to what you would like up

sorry, was out with wife.

I'm unsure how to approach your club advertising, to be honest. I'm sure Saki and You could speak about it, albeit her "visions" of advertising are amazingly epic.

ok well you can drop her my skype if ya want

or drop me hers contact details either way

hows it going

Hey, been sick and taking sleepin' hours recently. Getting better, tho

Took about 60 hours off, no nothing accomplished for anything

bad your sick good your getting better, some time you got to take some time for your self too

usually happens quarterly

i was just wondering , thought a shoot you a message earlier, i djed all weekend

ah, cool. business is a' poppin!

ya 1st of the month -5th stream fees are due

ok, sounds like april is a good benchmark

There is a file in the billing called "get3DSexTransactionLog.php". This has the same configuration as the Utherverse one. Just get it set up, same routine as before (login, password, "ray page"), and once your done and have the file moved into the same folder as the Utheverse one I can get the Cron job working on that as well.

And my apologies on the lateness of this and the lack of communication. Just got one wisdom tooth pulled and i've been experiencing "Lord of the Rings" under pain killers.....It's quite a different movie...

I'm having Saki send you a skype request so you should be able to contact her shortly

ok great ty

no problem

so did you set up another data base

nope, just a different table within the same database

is that info on the sheet so that all i have to do is put user name and pw and transaction #

in the log file

....yes, i think

then upload it

ok

Just like before, if that helps....

mysqlVariables.php

do i replace this

nope

withthe 1 thats in there all ready

just the one file, that's it

download it, fill out the top, send it up to where i can't get a hold of it

once that's done, i'll try to run it to see if it sends data down

they are in

mmk, seems to be working ok

ok

another step completed

yup

what will be next

UI and stuff

whats the plan for that

dunno yet lol

ok

well im have the billing software whms , there any way to intagrate with that

i've got the info in the skype convo, i'll just work from that

unsure, i dunno much about the billing software yet

maybe some screenshots of what you do, how you use it might help

let me take a look at that ill see if i can set up a access name for you , i havent done nothing with this

this software is spose to integrate with sonic to build stream automatic through shopping carts ect

mmk

hello

just curious if you was in

just wanted to let you know i set up a support opperator account in this billing software http://purepowerstreams.com/whmcs/admin

atari

urob67ad

i havent really had a chance to do a whole lot withit

but see if you can get in there to take a look and see if we can make the ray stuff intagrate with it

thx m

Well, to start off with, I was able to log in ok. Seems like the "support operator account" does not provide access to customer/billing/orders, etc. I can't for certain determine what can be done or start up some tests to see what fields there is to work with or if there can be a separate currency placed in.

I did, however, peek into their Knowledge Base and I do see that they have many 3rd party payment gateways of which we could use as an custom interim solution. My thinking is that I would have to write a Payment Gateway and integrate that within the CMS system, but without access to the files I can't emulate this action.

So, I can't provide here nor there at this time. Just that I've peeked at it and I might have a solution, but i'm not 100% sure yet.

hello

are you still around

yup

just workin' down my checklist as usual. what's up?

just wanted to touch bases with you on what you wrote

mmk

i hvaent added any customers to that program its just pretty much unconfigured

not sure what kind of gateway info for payments would work , but yes there are differnt modules for payments ect

and as it would probally have to be custom made

yup

you got me correctly on that

i can give you admin privlages there to see the over all info

I think that would help alot.

couple things i also want to talk about , after talking to saki , seems like my compitition djextreme did some sponsering for the uvd fair , i concerns me that this is my compition and you are working with us both , to run ads and such setting them up with the same thimgs you are setting me up with , now i just need to know we have a exclusive agreement that this info isnt being shared with them, because i just cant have that, i detest mr navi , he has used me in the past to gain knowledge to start his company , used me to show him to be a dj tech , only to stab me in the back and start his own company

From what I understand, you didn't hear anything about DJ Extreme, and he didn't hear anything about you. That's pretty much how it works.

Exclusive agreements when it comes to advertising and such from now is between you and Saki now. You and I deal with your solutions exclusively.

Besides, Asians are pretty extreme about their reputation. I've learned over the years of dealing with the bosslady not to mess with her.

well i just cant have the billing system we create for pps fall inthe hands of dj extreme that would severly damage things on a buisness lvl

I don't see how that could even be possible.

if he got the same thing we are doing, and your helping him too then not not going to be exclusive system to pps to help make us better company , and thats leveling out the playing field so to speak, i want to do things better than any other stream provider out there thats what has made pps the best , and continue to be best into the future

Okay

i have switch the user , privlages to full admin

good after noon

Good mornin'

Evenin'

and Afternoon

almost evening for me

hello

how are things

Hey, things are just real busy.

Ok, so I just farked a bit with the WHMCS software. I did add your packages as you've listed on your website, I did create a "customer" and assign a package as well. From the administrative point of view, and with the integration i've provided, I think there is a way that we can get all your clients in here (which is priority#1), get their plans/packages tied to them, get their dates set up, and work on managing them internally

I still have yet to look at the client gateway to see if random customers can just stop by and buy things. That, i'm assuming, is the ULTIMATE CHALLENGEZ with this WHMCS stuff.

oh cool , thats good to know

Yeah, It took me about 2 hours of viewing it all and seeing how it flows

i can start adding them after this billing period

There is a client "Credit Balance" which would be used to tie my automation with the internal area.

Why not add them now? At least we could work with what they have inside the system.

And worse comes to worse, we can wipe it clean and start fresh

i can start with the people who have auto dj systems

I've placed in both product lines

Personal and Auto

thats a smaller group there is over 200 djs to add that info will be the big challege

I'm sure I could do it fairly quickly

Eventually I will need some files from this WHMCS software to see how to make some modules, and database access to this so I can synchronize payments (rays/clams)

wonder if can take info from the spred sheet

In the meantime, I think it's pretty much set up for getting your customers in

I'm sure you could copy/paste

and import it

I don't recall an Import Option

If you have those extra fields in the spreadsheet, you might want to add those as "custom fields" much like you did with the "utherverse name"

Afterwards, we can adjust as necessary

ALSO

big thing

Something about Payment Gateways are not active

I'm still looking into it, maybe just a /facepalm when I find it

but that'll complete the billing "circle"

i think they have to be approved by them

not sure on that

I'd hope not

have to purchase the billing gateway

Hold on that for now

im paying a mothly fee for WHMCS as it is

for what?...support?

no the lic

to use it

wow

ya so the goal is to make this work , im sure we can get more tech help from them

Did you pay for them to Install it?

no the server techs did it

and you have all the information that they provided to you, like the install path and database username/password?

i will have to look for that

im djing for about another hour at shockwaves , so im multi tasking here

that's cool, i'm seeing what you actually pay for

The only think I can think of is support and upgrades, and honestly this is easy software to use. Upgrades might be the plus of it, tho, but i'm just speakin from the mind

there is a away to hook the stream software up with the billing software and it makes the streams

unsure yet

I'm sure it's possible

i watched the vid how to do it

Throw me the link sometime when you got it

hello

how did that look

I didn't have a chance to look at it yet. Figuring out pages atm

lol, simple things for using are sometimes difficult in programming

ok

Hey Ace, just reconnecting here. Hope things are going well. Have you been able to use the WHCM stuff yet? Learn anything new about it?

hi m been busy djing all night , i just havent had the free time to look at it all , i will soon tho thx m , i will pm you later tonight

hi m just getting back with here i will try to look things over on that sunday see what i can figure out , i dont dj sun mon tues

sweet doggies!

did you figure anything more out on that

No, last I remember it was the billing that wasn't working. something about a subscription or techs working on it.

And I also asked if you had access credentials to get into the WHCM files to install created modules.

i will look into that 1

It was under Payments -> Payment Gateways

This was where things like Paypal and such were to be configured, if i remember right.

But yeah, anything you can find out would help get this project back on track

hi

was looking some of this stuf over today
