Hello,

I would like to know if anyone already tried to use the API system of Stargate. We are having problems with the system.

If we enter a customer (same data) twice, the system finish the operation with an error.

We also have some problems, the system looks not complete, or separated from another system, it is really not programmer-friendly.

I guess, Resellerclub use the same system. I would like to know if someone already successed to register two domains with the same customer data. We do have some customer that register more than one domain, and they don't have two different address.

If someone have a good experience with them, or found more complete documentation we would be happy to reward it.

Or, if the Stargate team can tell us, or give us more information. Does the demo system have known problems ?

Thank you in advance for feedbacks.

Hello,

Yes, I built a custom control panel using the Stargate API where I registered many domains and built a domain editing system. It works good. The Stargate API isn't bad, just the documentation is poor.

To register a domain, you usually do this:

$DomOrderObject->add(array("mydomain.com" => 1), array("ns1" => "ns1.dns.com"), $registrantContactId, $adminContactId, $techContactId, $billingcontactId, $customerId, "NoInvoice");

I think you must be aware this is NOT a Stargate support forum. Althought Tom browse WHT quite frequently, he is not under any obligation to answer your questions or solve your problems here.

Have you contacted support[AT]stargate[DOT]com?

Whoo! That was just a question, because the API documentation is poor, and we didn't had clear answer from the Stargate team.

I will forward this to the programmer of the system directly. Anyway, if here people have experience why not to use it ? Where else can I found that did it successfully?

Hope you understand my request here. I am also interested in feedbacks from user using the system !

Thank you for your attention.

Thank you for your answer. I will finally be able to launch again the pending process of discussion about using Stargate or another system.

Have a nice day !

Can you use the same admin-billing-tech contacts for each domain ? Can you also use 4 times the same registrant address for 5 differents domains ?

Is there something special to do, or normal way ?

Thanks !

Yes, I usually put the same contact ID for several domains and as all the contacts (billing, admin, registrant, etc.). There's no limit on how many times you can use the same contact. Contact IDs can be retrieved either using $DomContact->listNames() or by looking them up manually in stargate. My custom control panel has the user select a contact from the listNames() list.
