API & Interface Inconsistency

[abdi]

I realized that when creating a client through the API am expected to pass the reseller_id to which this client will belong to. (The Idea is good!)

However, creating the same client through the web interface, am not required to to select a reseller to whom this client should belong to. This is also not the case when editing the client ...(as admin)

Isn't this inconsistency?

[till]

Thats not a inconsistency as clients that belong to a reseller are created in the interface by the reseller and get assigned to this reseller automatically.

Thanks for that response ...

Till am developing a module for AWBS.com billing system with which accounts should be created instantly through API. (I will share it here when its done). I kindly request you to offer me help when ever I will need it.

If I ask foolish or already answered questions, please have mercy

Also, where do we post suggestions for I know I will have many in this course ...

Question #1:

If I provide template_master can I then NOT pass the rest of the limit varibles? ie

limit_maildomain (int(11))
limit_mailbox (int(11))
limit_mailalias (int(11)) and etc ...

You should be able to payy any variable that is available in the corresponding database table.

Till I just realized that despite these 2 being already defined in the template_master I am required (MUST) pass them in the API:

'web_php_options' & 'ssh_chroot'

However, all of the variables (including those 2 above) are set to the default of template_master which is good, but again renders those 2 must define variables useless. Thus I think they must be optional just like the rest of the limit variables.

Till, what is the difference between domains_domain_add and sites_web_domain_add

[abdi]

Till more problems with API,

Am getting this error (when I try adding a domain name with sites_web_domain_add):

data_processing_errorpm_process_idle_timeout_error _regex<br /> pm_max_requests_error_regex<br /> SOAP Error: pm_process_idle_timeout_error_regex
pm_max_requests_error_regex

Please help me understand the problem / cause

Ensure that you passed the correct values for the variables mentioned in the error message as part of the array:

pm_process_idle_timeout
pm_max_requests

[abdi]

Thanks for that information Till,

May I suggest you add it to the API documentation specifically on the file "/remoting_client/API-docs/sites_web_domain_add.html"

You could also add it to the examples give in the example folder ...

Thanks, Joseph
