+Currently, you set a value in the %FS::UID::callback hash with a coderef
+of the code you want to execute, but this was bad design and will shortly
+be changed to a subroutine to which you pass your coderef to register it.
+
+This is not a bug, it is how the system is currently designed. After
+defining a new package, you need to specifically allow agent types to
+purchase packages. You can do this from the edit screen of the new agent
+type.
+.
+It wouldn't be a bad idea to add a configuration value that makes new
+packages available for all currently existing agent types automatically.

+I would also love to see Freeside support bandwidth billing by reading the

+co-located servers and even potentially other virtually hosted sites like
+MUD, Palace Chat, IRC Chat, etc based on the bandwidth they use or average
+sustained rates or whatever. I'm not much of a programmer so I don't know
+what all this entails but I did download a NetFlow client agent/whatever for
+Linux though.
+ .
+It would also be nice to see Freeside be able to read Apache log files and
+bill customers for web traffic that way as an option also. Plus an option to
+bill for excessive disk usage without having to use quotas if you didn't
+want to, would be a nice feature as well. So you could monitor with a script
+or something to see how much disk space a user was using then get some
+average and charge a certain amount for anything above some preset limit for
+that account type. I might be able to hack something like this up, but I'm
+not 100% sure where to start or if there is something out there that could
+be modified or not.
+.
+Do you think that you will ever support the HKS CCVS (Hell's Kitchen
+Software Credit Card Verification Software) since Red Hat bought them out
+and is going to be including that for credit card processing when you buy
+the professional version? What about possibly supporting the OpenCCVS which
+is a GNU/GPL version of a credit card program? I haven't had time to comb
+through the Freeside code to see how hard it would be to add support for
+these as externally called programs.

+Also any thoughts on help desk, and knowledge base stuff? Any thoughts on
+this stuff, and how possible and what kinds of work or time frame would be

There's no way to do this currently, though it would be pretty
straightforward to modify the source - specifically, the _collect_
subroutine in FS::cust_main.

try to fix that soon; in the meantime you can add the invoicing email
address afterwords.
-Postgres `money' time sucks rocks anyway. I'll probably just require 6.5

+(workaround for postgres before 6.5) (unlikely to ever be implemented)
In the mean-time, this could probably be fixed with the reverse of
the kludge in FS::Record::new. This removes `$' and `,' from money fields
coming out of the database. Something which fixed up the data so Postgres
database.
our data display problem might be a Freeside problem wrt not using
-Oracle-compatible DBI syntax (uses the return value from $sth->execute as
-a number of rows). Fixing this is on the TODO.
+Oracle-compatible DBI syntax (fixed using the return value from $sth->execute
+as a number of rows - something else?).
hooks for arbitrary commands out of configuration files
svc_acct.pm svc_acct_sm.pm etc.
false laziness: some of search/svc_acct_sm.cgi was copied to search/svc_domain.cgi. but web interface in general needs to be rewritten in a mucho cleaner way.
-Portability: in FS::Record, $sth->execute does not return a number of rows for all DBD's. see man DBI
-
subroutine the where clause (eventually all SQL) as OO perhaps (has anyone done this?)
add a select method to FS::Record?
