[BlueOnyx:20763] Shop subscriptions fix

[Chris Gebhardt - VIRTBIZ Internet]

Hi All,

Executive Summary: A known issue with new subscriptions has been fixed. 
Go get some BlueOnyx software.

Now, more of the story...

As you'll know if you saw my earlier post about the shop, Greg Kuhnert 
was recently on-site at the datacenter as we got the Shop and NewLinQ 
systems installed and acclimated.  Greg is just settling into his long 
flight home so I will make another little announcement.

It's not exactly news that the BlueOnyx shop features some 
subscription-based packages.  For a regular subscription price, you can 
grab BlueOnyx Web Edition, Professional Edition or Enterprise Edition, 
all of which feature giant packs of add-on modules that are always 
available at their latest versions.

The only problem is that some users (such as me) had experienced 
difficulty purchasing the packages due to a bug in the way that PayPal 
and Magento (which powers the Shop) communicate.   It's a known issue 
that the Magento guys have been, well, let's just say too busy on other 
important and fantastic work to address.

After a bit of time in my office earlier today beating things around and 
making some test orders it appears that we've landed on a fix for this 
by manipulating some of the clock functions in Magento.

Result: now you can purchase a subscription without an error.

Alternatively, VIRTBIZ colocation, dedicated or VPS customers who are 
interested in packages from the shop but prefer to keep their billing 
simple; we've got you covered.  Just let us know what you're interested 
in and we can handle the software for you without mark-up.

Thanks!
