Thanks for the quick reply.
Your message left me wondering what sort of "messages that a domain is
coming up for renewal" the allow_auto_renewal_message flag allows or
prevents, so I tried it both ways. What it does is show a line at the top
of the manage page that says "Notice: this domain is set to be automatically
renewed on xxxxx", if Auto_Renew is enabled for the domain being managed.
I can disable the actual auto-renew process in the "renewals_autorenew"
subroutine, as you suggest, and add a meaningful error message, like this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
sub renewals_autorenew{
my $auto_flag = $_[0];
my $xcp_request = {
action => "modify",
object => "domain",
cookie => $cookie,
attributes => {
data => "auto_renew",
auto_renew => $auto_flag,
affect_domains => 0,
}
};
# my $response = $XML_Client->send_cmd( $xcp_request );
# if ($response->{is_success}) {
# return "Set Auto-Renew Request: <B>Success</B>";
# }
# else {
# return "Set Auto-Renew Request <b>Failure!</B> Reason:" .
$response->{response_text};
# }
return "Set Auto-Renew Request <b>Failure!</B> Reason: Auto-Renew not
allowed";
}

Unfortunately, removing the related html is not going to be quite as simple
as editing a template. I'm going to have to hunt through the code and find
all the offending bits and remove them. I don't mind doing it once, but
it's one more thing that will make me want to avoid the next client upgrade!
