navbar getChild, check if exists

[mitch2k]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to change the destinations for the network status links using hooks. I look trough the documentation (http://docs.whmcs.com/Client_Area_Navigation_Menus_Cheatsheet#Changing_where_a_Menu_Item_Points_To)

 

I can change the link using this:

 

    $primaryNavbar->getChild('Network Status')       
     ->setUri('http://mylink.com');

 

However, when the client is logged in, Network Status is no longer a top item, but a child of Support, so I should use:

 

         $primaryNavbar->getChild('Support')
      ->getChild('Network Status')
      ->setUri('http://www.mylink.com');

 

But if I use one of the 2, the other one gives a blank page. So if I use the first piece of code, I get a blank page when the client logs in (because $primaryNavbar->getChild('Network Status') is invalid). I could catch this of with an if statement to check if the client is logged in. But, if I want to also change the secondary navbar link, I have to use:

 

  $secondaryNavbar->getChild('Support')
      ->getChild('Network Status')
->setUri('http://www.mylink.com');

 

I could also work around this with double if statement (logged in + page is a page where the secondary navbar is shown), but this seems a bit inefficient. Is there a way to check if check if the child exists? Something like:

 

if ($secondaryNavbar->getChild('Network Status') = true) {
 $secondaryNavbar->getChild('Network Status')       
->setUri('http://www.mylink.com');

}

 

Or is there a way that the statement is just ignored if the specified child does not exist?

 

Thanks!
