Vortexus WHMCS & Pterodactyl Integration v2.0.2

What was Fixed:​

SFTP credentials & password

• Removed hardcoded SFTP username fallback (gashfix) that displayed incorrect credentials to clients
• SFTP username is now resolved from the game panel API (username.identifier format)
• Added SFTP password configuration in Settings → SFTP Details
• Password updates are applied to the panel account via the Application API (not WHMCS)
• Updated SFTP hint and related strings across all 27 locale files

WHMCS language detection

• Fixed module loading in English even when the client had a different language set in WHMCS
• Language is now read from the client profile (tblclients.language) before the session value
• Session language is synced automatically when it differs from the profile
• vortexushub.php and console.php now use centralized language resolution
• Removed duplicate session_start() call in fullscreen hub that could interfere with WHMCS session
• Brazilian Portuguese (portuguese-br) now correctly maps to pt_BR.json

Language fallback

• Default fallback locale to English (en) when no language is detected or locale file is missing

---

Added​

• New API endpoint: updateSftpPassword
• New settings UI: SFTP password fields (new password, confirm, save)
• New translation keys: sftp_password, sftp_password_new, sftp_password_confirm, sftp_password_save, sftp_password_required, sftp_password_min, sftp_password_mismatch, sftp_password_updated

---

Changed​

• SFTP hint message updated to instruct clients to set their SFTP password in the panel instead of implying it matches the WHMCS login password
• Language::resolveClientLanguage() added as the single source of truth for client language detection

---

Technical notes​

• SFTP address/port: Client API (getServerDetails)
• SFTP username: Application API (panel user account)
• SFTP password: Application API (updatePanelUserPassword)
• WHMCS is used only for authentication and service ownership validation — never for SFTP credentials

License & activation​

• Fixed an issue where the license could appear inactive after refreshing the admin page, even when it was still valid
• License status now updates automatically when you open the License page — no need to click Recheck every time
• Temporary connection problems with the license server no longer mark a valid license as invalid
• Improved reliability of the Recheck and Activate buttons on the License page

Server provisioning (WHMCS)​

• Fixed server creation failing for game hosting products (e.g. Minecraft) when provisioning new orders
• Module now correctly reads game template settings from the panel when creating a server
• Clearer error messages when something goes wrong during server setup
• Improved handling when provisioning is run again on the same service

General​

• More stable day-to-day operation with fewer false “license invalid” warnings
• Better error reporting across admin and provisioning flows
