tenserd Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Hi there, my first post inside the whmcs community and a big hello to everyone here! I used many customer systems in the last years and one of the main things I need is an easy control of the customer ID. But inside WHMCS its only possible to change inside the DB and this is also tricky because of many shortcuts between the tables. I'm wondering that there is no plugin for this, which manage the difficulties and on editing a client/customer there is also an edit field for the ID. Is there really nobody which need such a thing? Or is this to difficult and can't be integrated inside WHMCS? Best regards Steve p.s. @postspammers Before someone arguments like "There is no reason to change the customer ID" plz. do us/me a favor and keep the comment to yourself. This post goes to people which need such a thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenserd Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Push Is there really nobody in this community who is need such a thing? We are 2 WHMCS users and this is a most needed function. Who has the knowledge if such a plugin is possible and when yes I need someone who has the ability to develop this for us. regards, Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vec Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 why do you need to change the customer ID? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 If you want to use a custom ID then you're best adding a custom field to the client profile field. Then you can use it anywhere you want to and have full control over its value. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenserd Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 why do you need to change the customer ID? I work with two other billingsolutions for other services and this feature is implemented on both. Sometimes there are situations and you'll have to make a change on one or more customers. So this is a better way to manage this instead of fishing inside the DB. If you want to use a custom ID then you're best adding a custom field to the client profile field. Then you can use it anywhere you want to and have full control over its value. Ok. Than I have to change all layouts (disable the real customer ID and display the one in the new field) - Customer frontend, invoice and have to made a note on every customer to know which ID is changed with the main customer ID? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentq Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 clientid is linked to many DB tables, if you need to change you'll need to have a tool or option inside WHMCS itself to do this for you and to avoid conflicts too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vec Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I still don't see why you would ever have to change the client ID.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
