Upload via FTP (possibly without using composer?) #19

Closed nickvdmee closed 2 years ago

nickvdmee commented 2 years ago

Hi there,

We tried uploading the module through FTP but it does not show in WHMCS. We also tried running it with composer but no luck either. I am guessing we're doing something wrong but since we we're able to succesfully upload/install several other modules/addons and gateways we can't figure out what it is.

Is it possible to get the module/files without the need to run composer? We saw an issue about this from 2019, but those files do not seem to fix it for us as well.

Thank you in advance.

@nickvdmee you cannot use this module without composer.

The easiest solution is to download the module on your own machine, change into that directory and run composer install there. When this is finished, you should see a vendor folder.

You can then upload everything to modules/addons/moneybird/.

This should should work. If not, please share any error messages here, without errors it's pretty hard to help out.

sorry dont get it, we download the files, unzip them and then what? how do we run composer install here? dont see that option?

nickvdmee commented 2 years ago

Ok so we have done the above, we see a vendor folder now but when we upload everything we do not see it in WHMCS Schermopname (758) Schermopname (759)

See folders in screenshots, (removed from installation so see left side of Filezilla) if we upload these nothing is visible in WHMCS.

What more needs to be done?

ju5t commented 2 years ago

@nickvdmee you have to create a folder called moneybird in the addons folder. You then upload all the contents of what is called whmcs-moneybird-main on your local machine. If you do this it should work. If not, please be more specific about what you mean by that you're not seeing it in WHMCS.

nickvdmee commented 2 years ago

exactly that, i did not see it. Sorry but it was/seems very confusing, with other addons you just upload and configure, no need for composer or create/name folders yourself. Also the readme literally reads: * Upload all files to modules/addons/moneybird/. NOT create a folder named moneybird..

So that is why it did not work, we got it now, thank you.

Sorry cant find other things as well, it also reads: We strongly recommend to map your taxes in WHMCS to your tax rates in Moneybird. This is done via Addons > Moneybird > Tax mapping.

Don't see Tax mapping, not in the folders/directories via FTP or in the settings (see screenshot) What are we doing wrong? Schermopname (761)

The same is true for: This is done via Addons > Moneybird > Ledger mapping.

Don't see that anywhere as well.

ju5t commented 2 years ago

@nickvdmee not sure how to make this more clear. It's basically: go to Addons (in the top menu) > Click on Moneybird > Click on Ledger mapping. This last link is on the left side. This is standard practise for WHMCS modules.

Also the readme literally reads: * Upload all files to modules/addons/moneybird/. NOT create a folder named moneybird..

It kind of implies that you have to create it if it's not there.

If you feel any of the documentation is lacking details, feel free to PR a change. Keep in mind that though that this module isn't meant to be plug & play like other modules. You need some basic understanding of Composer and WHMCS for it to work. You also need to know some basics on accounting, ledgers and tax.

This generally isn't something we feel needs more in depth documentation, but it could be something obvious is missing.

Hi there, sorry but neither do i, i will try with images: top menu, setttings (there is no option addons here as can be seen): Schermopname (767)

Click on modules/add-ons (the only option in the system that leads to Moneybird: Schermopname (769)

And then you see:

Schermopname (761)

So what are we missing? We really do not see any option to ledger mapping, nor tax mapping (besides the allready standard "tax configuration" in the left sidebar).

Thanx again for helping out.

@nickvdmee this is going to sound very unfriendly, but if you want to use this module we do expect some sort of basic understanding of WHMCS.

Almost every single module in WHMCS is accessible via Modules. It's in the blue bar on the right. You don't go into settings. Most modules only have some basic information. Advanced configuration needs to go elsewhere, it's just how WHMCS works.

If you're not familiar with WHMCS, sorry, but this module isn't for you, nor can we support you in the future.

edit: I'm closing this issue. This is not a problem with the module.
