Billing cycle by URL

[rev]

Hi

 

It's a really simple question about changing billing cycle by URL. Let's see:

 

http://demo.whmcs.com/cart.php?a=add&pid=1&billingcycle=annually

 

Yes, it works for products but what if we are NOT linking a product directly but a category aka group? I explain. With this URL i'm linking a category.

 

http://demo.whmcs.com/cart.php?gid=1

 

Now i want to change the billing cycle:

 

http://demo.whmcs.com/cart.php?gid=1&billingcycle=annually

 

It doesn't work Do you know any workaround before i go on with template editing?

Don't think it can be done... even with templating. Might have to create your own cart script.

I got it It's really easy, just a question of seconds. It works with the standard URL even with categories. Use this URL normally:

 

http://demo.whmcs.com/cart.php?gid=1&billingcycle=annually

 

Now simply $_GET['billingcycle'] in your products.tpl and echo it at the very end of your onclick function (the action of your Order now button) like follows:

 

onclick="window.location='{$smarty.server.PHP_SELF}?a=add&pid={$product.pid}{php}echo $whatever;{/php}'"

 

$whatever is the variable in the URL -> &billingcycle=$hello

$hello is the billing cycle -> monthly, quarterly, semiannually, annually etc.

 

That's it. If you want to make it clean remember to add an if(empty()); control to verify that $whatever appears in the onclick only if it has been set.
