So I poked around in the source code. It looks like for version 8 short term simply duplicating what works for version 5 will work so long as the SimpleDNS server has the  "Enable HTTP API v1..." setting ticked.

I am assuming this means essentially adding this provider: SolidCP.Providers.DNS.SimpleDNS80, rebuilding the project and making sure that version 8 is accepted when the server is queried and adding the needed info to the services table.

Ultimately, the entire provider will need to be rewritten to support the new API which accepts and returns jason formatted data. That project is going to require some serious time and is beyond my level of programming expertise.

Is there somebody who can add the API v1 support for SimpleDNS version 8 or provide me the basic instructions so I can do it?

Thanks!

Jim

I was able to grab the code, copy the SolidCP.Providers.DNS.SimpleDNS60 provider project to SolidCP.Providers.DNS.SimpleDNS80, assign a new GUID, change the references, compile, drop the DLL into the DNS Server bin folder, hack the database and get the provider to work. It should be a simple matter to do it correctly for a better programmer.

I am just not sure how to make all the details work

@Marco - what is the cost to sponsor development for these required changes?

I'll consider sponsoring it for the community as Simple DNS Support has pretty much been non existent since version 5.

You're more than welcome to reach me on skype or mail me directly

@Marco + Trevor....

Im willing to to contribute towards the costs of getting these changes made.

SolidCP is lacking features that SimpleDNS v6,7 + 8 offer

We have been looking into it, however it's relatively difficult to estimate (internally neither one of us works with simpleDNS, which means alot of research will be required to get it done properly).
