1. Getting below Error Message each time a customer edits his profile, the admin edits a profile from a customer or when a new customer gets created:

Fatal error: Call to a member function __getLastRequest() on a non-object in /home/fast4you/public_html/modules/servers/machpanel/hooks.php on line 335

While using API via any other programming language other than DotNet (.Net) or using MachPanel WHMCS module, customers may face such issue.

Cause:
A new property is defined for MachPanel Customer/Reseller account in MachPanel API i.e. PGID and for the programming languages other than .Net it will be required that all the properties of an object are set before they are transmitted over SOAP channel.

PGID(Payment Group ID): this is set for customer/reseller default payment group id for billing purposes. You can set it to 0 or you can call an API method (GetAllPaymentGroups) to fetch list of available payment groups and then assign a one to the customer/reseller object from source request.

Resolution:

a:  Update WHMCS integration package from link below:

b:  When setting the customer/reseller properties in client application code using API (in php, python etc…), set PGID for the customer/reseller account.
