    Hello ;


    First, I'm sorry but I cannot speak German.


    The mail sent to the customer is not intended to activate/create the new domain account automatically. The mail is intended to ask the user a confirmation to be sure that the mail is valid. Once the customer validated the order by clicking on the link in mail, the order is viewable by the reseller. Then, the reseller can validate or not the order.


    Anyway, like explained in my previous answer, for now, the feature is broken because same if the user doesn't confirm the order by clicking on the link that it receives by email, the order is still viewable in reseller interface. It's a bug on which I'm currently working. Also, I'm currently working on order panel templates, which still use old theme.


    The normal work flow is as follow:


    1. The customer going to the order panel to order a new account
    2. A mail is sent to the customer for confirmation
    3. The user confirms the order by clicking on the link received in the mail
    4. The order is make viewable and a mail is sent to the reseller to inform it about the new order received
    5. The reseller validates the order
    6. The customer receive a new mail with all relevant information for connection to the control panel (such as username and password).


    To resume, thanks to be patient. All the issues will be fixed tomorrow. ;)

    gOOvER or other German friends: Can you translate my words in German ?

    I have created a ticket for this issue, please add info if it's needed:

    Re ;


    Fixed in https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/i-mscp/changeset/4838 but I must now fix two other issues related with the orders.


    1. Template for activation confirmation is broken
    2. If order is not confirmed by customer via email, the order is still viewable. The order must be viewable only if the customer confirm it.

    Hello community ;


    Some words about localization


    Planned for beta 4 and already in trunk, Machine object files (GNU gettext) are now used in replacement of the database tables for translation storage.


    This greatly improves overall performances because the database is no longer involved. Before, we had a database table for each language, where each column contained a translated string. This means that for every of translation string, we had to do a SQL query. The calculation is quick simple here. For each page, we had about 50 SQL queries to be performed only for the translation.


    I. How to help us to translate i-MSCP


    To make the translation easier, we are using the translation service provided by Transifex that provides a set of Web-based tools to translate the softwares.


    If you want contribute to the translation, you only have to be registered on Transifex to begin to make the translation.


    Transifex provides documentation that explains to new users how to translate. For this reason, no further explanation is made here. The only important thing that you must take into consideration is that i-MSCP uses only UTF-8 as encoding for translation files. That means that if you want translate with your editor (such as Poedit) and do not use the Web-based interface provided by Transifex, you must use this encoding.


    This last statement is also valid when you want install the locale on your server. For example, if you want install the locale es_ES for i-MSCP and also install it on your server, you must select the UTF-8 version of it. With Debian, that can easily achieved through 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' as the root user.


    II. i-MSCP Frontend (GUI) - internal localization management


    i-MSCP manages the locales in different ways, depending whether the locales are installed or not on the system.


    Example for one locale:


    1. The locale is installed on the server


    In this case, the iMSCP frontend is able to use native PHP gettext functions. The performances are greatly improved because the Machine object files (MO files) are read once per process.


    However, a workaround is in place here to be able to update any translation file through the GUI without having to reload the Web server since the files are cached in memory. When native PHP gettext functions are used, i-MSCP creates a specific production file with an unique gettext domain name based on the modification filetime of the upstream file and load it instead. When the upstream Machine file is updated by admin, the GUI detects the change and then, creates another production file which is used in replacement of the previous.


    You must note that natives PHP gettext functions are used only if the locale being used is also installed on the server.


    2. The locale is not installed on the server


    Unfortunately, native PHP gettext functions can not be used if the locale being used is not installed on the server. In this case, a specific library (PHP-gettext) that provide similar set of functions to simulate localization is used. This is slower since the parser is implemented in PHP and not in C, and also because the files (translation tables) are not cached in memory. In this situation, the admin is warned by email.

    Hello ;


    - (-1) for backup advanced interface since it's pure administration task. Several backend are available, and I think that must be set by administrator only.


    - quota support is in our head.


    - Php configuration GUI interface (see my previous answer).
    - API (We have already an event system in the box (Will be improved ASAP). Billing system is pain of ass to implement since we must have some knowledge in accountancy (My wife can maybe help us on this...)


    - Cron task (see my previous answer).
