A Note on cPanel 11

Filed under: General, Ubersmith Lite, Ubersmith Pro — mstyne @ 9:54 am

To those of you running the downloadable version of Ubersmith on cPanel powered hosts:

We have been getting reports that the update to cPanel 11 will disable the ability for virtual hosting accounts to dynamically load the IonCube PHP extension, which is required to run Ubersmith. The error you can expect to see looks like:

Warning: dl() [function.dl]: Unable to load dynamic library
‘/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/
/home/xxx/public_html/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_4.4.so’ –
/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/
/home/xxx/public_html/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_4.4.so:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in /home/xxx/public_html/index.php on line 26
Ubersmith is encoded with the ionCube PHP Encoder and requires the free
ioncube_loader_lin_4.4.so ionCube PHP Loader to be installed.

We will be providing instructions / procedures on how to deal with this issue as soon as possible.

À la carte Order Forms

Filed under: General, HOWTO's, Ubersmith DE, Ubersmith Lite, Ubersmith Pro — boo @ 6:27 pm

A good example is the Ubersmith Pro order form.

In this post I’m going to go over how to update an order form in Ubersmith to allow the client to select which service plan they would like to sign up for. This is something that has been requested before and just this week it occurred to our developer, Dan how it can be done in the system right now.

Tracking Number Trivia

Filed under: HOWTO's, Ubersmith DE, Ubersmith Lite, Ubersmith Pro — mstyne @ 11:10 am

Tracking numbers for shipping companies have become an integral part of day to day operations for most businesses. Even Google allows you to search for a package based solely on its tracking number.

Ubersmith makes it easy to access the current information for a shipment being handled by UPS, FedEx, or DHL.

When adding a comment or posting a reply, simply type:

fedex #
ups #
dhl #

with your tracking number after the ‘#’ sign.

Example:

If I were to type:

ups #1Z50V7420328473247

upon sending my comment or reply, Ubersmith would generate a link which looked like:

ups #1Z50V7420328473247

I can then click that link to open UPS’s website in a new window to view the current status of the package.
