Best Way To Add Additional Features To A Service

[Virtovo]

I'm looking for a way to add addons or extras to a service that are not exposed by the service module.  For instance I'd like a way to add additional IP addresses and disk space to a SolusVM service; however these do not constitute a change in plan.  These services are dependent on the original service still being active.

 

What's the best/preferred way to achieve this within Blesta?

Configurable addons. I myself use Product addons. As we can see what is actually added to the service.

With product addons they need a module assigned?  For the intended use (SolusVM) you have to specify a package even when adding as an add-on product (unless of course I've got this wrong).  Is there a way to remove configurable options from the client?

I believe so, if you make a default empty package like a 0 or default.

Is this for an add-on or configurable option?  Where would this be set?  Sorry for the questions!

Configable options. 

 

Packages > Options > Create Option

 

Then select the type:

 

Name: Default

Value: 0

 

1 [Terms allowed by main service] price: 0.00

 

Add a new row:

 

Name: Something else:

 

Value: 1 or say Windows

 

1 [Terms allowed by main service] price: 15.00

 

Save it.

 

By: [Terms allowed by main service] I mean say if you accept monthly and yearly on the main product where you will be assigning the configable options, you need two rows, else it will only be allowed on the term you set.

Main service: Monthly | Yearly

 

Config Option: Monthly

 

It will only be shown up on the Monthly payment type.

Sadly no joy.  The option still appeared on the order form.

Oh you want it hidden from the order form? Completely so no options to select? Well you might want a hidden feature

You might as-well make addon packages then but don't add them to a ordering form (or group) so they don't show on the forum (Not tried this to see if this works)

 

Then go to Manage on the customer's service at the bottom there's a dropdown box. Select the addon and then go to save. It should go to the invoice page.
