Ashoat Posted June 25, 2005 Posted June 25, 2005 Let us all rejoice, for the HelioHost Automated Hosting System is now online! The post-for-host system is now completely automated, in four ways!Automated SignupAutomated RenewalAutomated Expired Account DeletionAutomatic Account Expiration NotificationAlso, at http://www.heliohost.org/mng_cnsl.php you will find a handy tool that allows you to check your account expiration date! Its in beta phase, so keep in mind to PRESS "LOGIN" instead of just clicking enter on your keyboard. And don't blame me that its ugly. The final version will be integrated with the forums. As a sidenote, HelioHost has a new web design! Complete with a flash intro and a cool-looking animated flash website. Hope everyone likes the new improvements.
HerLoss Posted June 25, 2005 Posted June 25, 2005 It lets me just press enter... but maybe I'm just so much cooler than all of you that it does it just for me!
Kyougi Posted June 25, 2005 Posted June 25, 2005 T.T It's not fair, how come HerLoss gets special treatment =) I don't remember if I've said this yet, but congrats with the new mod DJBob.
HerLoss Posted June 25, 2005 Posted June 25, 2005 hahaha, that almost rymes... mod? djbob? get it?? Ok... I'll stop now...
Ashoat Posted June 25, 2005 Author Posted June 25, 2005 Lol. Should make it give you an error if the username isn't used... and I still have to do another mod for the Mangement Console thingy.
HerLoss Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 Is that the -check when your account dies- page? Whatcha gunna do with it?
Ashoat Posted June 26, 2005 Author Posted June 26, 2005 Herloss, I'm gonna make it an IPB mod, and add a password/email change utility. Candyland, waddaya mean?
HerLoss Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 Djbob - Not exactly following... but thats alright candyland - You can make payments whenever you like. The added month doesnt start till the current month ends, so it makes no different when you pay. You can even stock up like I did. I'm good till august.
Kyougi Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 Yep, you've got that right. Makes it easy for everyone.

The added month doesnt start till the current month ends, so it makes no different when you pay. You can even stock up like I did. I'm good till august. What I meant was that there will be a "Hosting Management" button next to the Help, Search, etc. stuff in the header. The thing will be built in over there, and it will look prettier (it will have the standard forum skin applied to it). Also, there will be a thing to change your email or password. If you want to change your email or password, you will have to do it twice, once in CPanel, and once there. That's because the scripts use your email for notification before deletion and the Hosting Management thing uses your password to log you in. Also, I will have to create a temporary thing to enter in your password. The thing is, the auto-signup system went online later than some of you signed up, so I don't have your passwords in my database. Don't worry, I won't really see your passwords, they will be encrypted.
Kyougi Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 Heh, does it matter if you do see them anyway? You're the hosting admin, you can access any account at any time with any will.
Ashoat Posted June 27, 2005 Author Posted June 27, 2005 Yeh, but if I knew your password I could access other things of yours... like maybe your email. And actually, the hosting admin can't access things like databases - CPanel won't let you. However, the admin can always edit the password and log in as the root user, and then access the database, but thats besides the point. Anyways, I added an error thing that checks if a username is in the database before renewing the account. Yay!! Now all I got left is to spruce up the Hosting Management thing as mentioned earlier.
Kyougi Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 Well, I think I could always trust you with my password anyway =P
