Is there a way to have the sign up pages linked with the a2customer interface rather than the a2billing interface. My reason for this is that i believe that it is more secure if the path to our a2billing directory is not published.

I did try to just copy the entire signup folder from a2customer to a2billing but i get lot of 'call to undefined function messages' as expected.

I would appreciate if there is anyone out there that can help me achieve this.

copy a2billing/lib/Misc.php file from a2billing to whatever folder you are moving to -> a2customer/lib/... and it should take care of your problems.
if you still having problems post your errors.

Svetur,

Before i do anything may i just say that there is already a Misc.php file in a2customer/lib. What do you suggest i do?

Should i replace the Misc.php file under a2customer with the one from a2billing. If i do this wouldn't it have any effect in other areas of a2customer?

I didn't have misc.php in mine version 1.2.3
What kinds of heading messages do you get??
You can look into the sizes of each misc.php to see if they are the same.

Svetur,

I am using the same version as you (1.2.3) and i ran a diff command on the two Misc.php (1 from a2customer and the other from a2billing) and there were alot of differences between the two. There must be another way - i don't want to mv the files as i don't know the impact.

What errors do you get???

Error message below::

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: gen_card_with_alias() in /var/www/html/a2customer/signup/form_data/FG_var_index.inc on line 91

I had the same thing. gen_card_with_alias() is defined in misc.php
Open misc.php in a2customer/lib/misc.php and look for function gen_card_with_alias(). If you don't see it - just copy this function from a2billing. I just overwrote mine from a2billing folder. Save the old one if you do that just in case.

Svetur,

Thank you for your help so far, really appreciated.

I have done as you suggested, the card was created but the following is displyed on the 'Thank you for registering' page.

Anymore suggestions?

Thanks.

Looks like you have enabled sip and iax friend signup in a2billing.conf file. You can try disable it and it should work fine.

I opened formhandler file - looks like we are trying to open BUDDY_SIP and BUDDY_IAX file which i'm assuming is additional_a2billing_sip.conf and additional_a2billing_sip.conf under etc/asterisk.
Check if those files exist and check permissions, because the problem is a2billing is failing to open them to write configs.

Svetur,

That was definitely the problem.

Problem solved, thank you for sticking with me through this.

Appreciated!

I too could not live with the new user signup pages living in a sub-dir of the admin interface. I could not find a way to adequately secure the admin interface and yet keep the signup page accessible by anyone. I needed SSL plus authentication for the admin pages but neither for the signup pages.

I took a slightly different approach, with basically the same results, by copying the signup directory plus other required directories to a new path. This has the advantage of not having to edit any .php files. In this process you get 3 distinct directories: admin, user, newuser

cd /var/www/html
cp /your-source-path/A2Billing_UI admin -R
cp /your-source-path/A2BCustomer_UI user -R
mkdir newuser
cd newuser
cp ../admin/signup . -R
cp ../admin/lib . -R
cp ../admin/Css . -R
cp ../admin/Images . -R

This will give you three webs (admin, user, signup) which you can deploy and secure however you like. Because the directory structures are separate from each other, you can shoose to apply IP access controls, SSL, and authentication individually as needed.

It works for me, hope it helps someone else.
