Transliteration During Domain Validation and Register

[tatocaster]

Hello,

what i'm trying to accomplish is replace some characters (აბც) with some english ones and vise versa.

I've tried 2 ways to do that - both failed.

 

First of all i tried by making a hook

add_hook("PreDomainRegister",1,"hook_transliterate");

 

Unfortunatelly inside my main function - i cannot neither get the client information neither return it.

 

function hook_transliterate($vars) {

$firstname= $vars["params"]["firstname"];

$domain = $vars["params"]["domain"];

 

return str_replace("a char","b char",$firstname");

}

 

$firstname is nothing - and of course my return is not working as well.

 

Then i tried to do a Transliteration hook , so i made a hooks.php file and placed it in /www/whmcs/hooks/transliterate.php

 

 

My code is :

 

function hook_transliterate($string) {

$string = str_replace("a","w",$string);

$string = str_replace("b","v",$string);

return $string;

}

add_hook("Transliteration",1,"hook_transliterate") ;

 

 

Unfortunatelly it seems is never triggers.

 

 

Then I tried

add_hook("DomainValidation",999,"hook_transliterate");

 

hook activates every time when domain availability checking running but, i want to transliterate this string and return to client input as different characters for ex: abc = აბც . it would be great to save in DB also like these. Any help will be appreciated.

 

Thanks
