Adding a Menu Item to Client Area's Top Navigation in WHMCS 6

[davet]

Which template file can I edit in WHMCS 6 to add a menu item in the drop-down menu within the Client Area?

 

I'm trying to add a menu item to link to the Addon for AutoUnblock csf as described here http://www.gk-root.com/GK-Apps/AutoUnblock-csf/#Template editing but it seems Template six is a bit different from the WHMCS 5 default template as far as editing it is concerned.

in v6, you don't edit the template to modify a menu - it is now controlled via action hooks.

Hello,

 

I've gotten this to work within the client area to remove sub menus, but what about the top menu bar before they log in? As I would like to be able to remove Announcements, Knowledgebase, and Network Status...

 

Thanks,

Laura

Twas a legitimate question - I need the answer. I've not used hooks before with WHMCS and I've read through the documentation and have failed.

 

I simply am trying to remove links from the top bar. Found that code and put it into a file named hooks.php and placed it in the modules folder. Now, if I've read the directions incorrectly, I would love to know it because that didn't work. That's with copying the exact hook code from the edit menu links page - which is the announcements link. Nothing happened.

 

Please illuminate.

 

I am a experienced designer, developer and write documentation for this kind of thing. Not a newbie, folks - maybe a tired pro but not a newbie.

that's where you went wrong - hooks such as these should go in the 'hooks' folder inside includes...

 

/includes/hooks/

 

put them in there and they should work immediately.

How did you solve that?

I can't seem to fix the links if the client is not logged in.

 

I have this hook which only works if the client is logged in:

 

{
   $navItem = $primaryNavbar->getChild('Open Ticket');
   if (is_null($navItem)) {
       return;
   }


   $navItem->setUri('https://www.test.com/contact/');

   }

 

What change do I make to ensure the same shows if someone is not logged in?

 

Thanks in advance for any direction here..
