Display all customers sticky notes on Admin Summary page

[Dgital Essence]

Hi,

 

I'm not sure if this has already been done but I use Sticky Notes to record additional work that needs to be invoiced at a later date but kept on forgetting who I'd done extra work for.

 

So I've created a widget for the Admin Summary page that displays all the Sticky Notes with links through to the Customers Note and also the customer summary.

 

 

Just create a new file in modules/widgets and paste this code in. Then head over to Setup > Staff Management > Administrator Roles > Edit and scroll down to Widgets and then tick yours (in this example it's called "Display Customer\'s Sticky Notes".

 

This was created in Version: 5.3.11 and is still working in 6.1.1 but it if breaks yours or makes the sky fall down, I'm not liable...

 

?php
# WHMCS Widget to display sticky notes on the Admin Summary
# Hedley Phillips - Digital Essence
if (!defined("WHMCS"))
   die("This file cannot be accessed directly");

function widget_display_sticky_notes() {

$content = '<table bgcolor="#cccccc" align="center" style="margin-bottom:5px;width:100%;" cellspacing="1">
<tr bgcolor="#efefef" style="text-align:center;font-weight:bold;"><td>Customer</td><td>Note</td><td>Modified</td></tr>';

$x=1; $range = "<= 364";
   $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `tblnotes` JOIN tblclients ON tblclients.id=tblnotes.userid  WHERE `sticky` = '1'");
   while ($data = @mysql_fetch_array ($result)) {
        $noteid = $data["id"];
        $userid = $data["userid"];
        $firstname = $data["firstname"];
        $lastname = $data["lastname"];
        $note = $data["note"];
        $date = $data["modified"];
       $content .= '<tr bgcolor="#ffffff" style="text-align:center;"><td><a href="/whmcsadmin/clientssummary.php?userid='.$userid.'">'.$firstname. ' ' .$lastname.'</a></td><td><a href="/whmcsadmin/clientsnotes.php?userid='.$userid.'&action=edit&id='.$noteid.'">'.$note.'</a></td><td>'.$date.'</td></tr>'; $x=0;
   }
   if($x) $content =  '<tr bgcolor="#ffffff" style="text-align:center;"><td colspan="7">No Sticky Notes to display</td></tr>';
   $content .= '</table>';

   return array( 'title' => 'Display Customer\'s Sticky Notes', 'content' => $content );
}

add_hook("AdminHomeWidgets",1,"widget_display_sticky_notes");

?>  

 

NOTE:

 

What I can't get to work and am looking for input from others on is the edit function.

 

I'm using:

 

<a href="/whmcsadmin/clientsnotes.php?userid='.$userid.'&action=edit&id='.$noteid.'">  

 

where:

 

$noteid = $data["id"];

$userid = $data["userid"];

 

but it keeps on putting the customer id in both $userid and $noteid and I can't work out why.

What I can't get to work and am looking for input from others on is the edit function - it keeps on putting the customer id in both $userid and $noteid and I can't work out why.

it was because your SQL query contained two different 'id' fields and it was using the wrong one.

 

i've taken the liberty of cleaning up the widget code...

 

<?php
# WHMCS Widget to display sticky notes on the Admin Summary
# Hedley Phillips - Digital Essence
if (!defined("WHMCS"))
   die("This file cannot be accessed directly");

function widget_sticky_notes() {
       global $_ADMINLANG;

   $content = '<table bgcolor="#cccccc" align="center" style="margin-bottom:5px;width:100%;" cellspacing="1"><tr bgcolor="#efefef" style="text-align:center;font-weight:bold;"><td>'.$_ADMINLANG['fields']['client'].'</td><td>'.$_ADMINLANG['fields']['note'].'</td><td>'.$_ADMINLANG['fields']['lastmodified'].'</td></tr>';

   $x=1;
   $result = mysql_query("SELECT tblnotes.id,tblnotes.userid,tblnotes.modified,tblnotes.note,tblnotes.sticky,tblclients.firstname,tblclients.lastname FROM `tblnotes` JOIN tblclients ON tblclients.id=tblnotes.userid WHERE `sticky` = '1'");
   while ($data = @mysql_fetch_array ($result)) {
        $noteid = $data["id"];
        $userid = $data["userid"];
        $firstname = $data["firstname"];
        $lastname = $data["lastname"];
        $note = $data["note"];
        $date = $data["modified"];
       $content .= '<tr bgcolor="#ffffff" style="text-align:center;"><td><a href="clientssummary.php?userid='.$userid.'">'.$firstname. ' ' .$lastname.'</a></td><td><a href="clientsnotes.php?userid='.$userid.'&action=edit&id='.$noteid.'">'.$note.'</a></td><td>'.$date.'</td></tr>';
       $x=0;
   }
   if($x) $content =  '<p style="text-align:center;">No Sticky Notes to display';
   $content .= '</table>';

   return array( 'title' => 'Sticky Notes', 'content' => $content );
}

add_hook("AdminHomeWidgets",1,"widget_sticky_notes");

?>

Liberty? The pleasure is all mine ;-)

 

Although I'm testing this and still seeing the same

 

The URL created is:

 

Before:

http://mydomain/whmcsadmin/clientsnotes.php?userid=59&action=edit&id=59

 

 

After:

http://mydomain/whmcsadmin/clientsnotes.php?userid=59&action=edit&id=59

[brian!]

ah - that might be occurring because I changed the widget name and title in the code - it's definitely working here!

 

try the following - same code, but i've used your widget name and title...

 

<?php
# WHMCS Widget to display sticky notes on the Admin Summary
# Hedley Phillips - Digital Essence
if (!defined("WHMCS"))
   die("This file cannot be accessed directly");

function widget_display_sticky_notes() {
       global $_ADMINLANG;

   $content = '<table bgcolor="#cccccc" align="center" style="margin-bottom:5px;width:100%;" cellspacing="1"><tr bgcolor="#efefef" style="text-align:center;font-weight:bold;"><td>'.$_ADMINLANG['fields']['client'].'</td><td>'.$_ADMINLANG['fields']['note'].'</td><td>'.$_ADMINLANG['fields']['lastmodified'].'</td></tr>';

   $x=1;
   $result = mysql_query("SELECT tblnotes.id,tblnotes.userid,tblnotes.modified,tblnotes.note,tblnotes.sticky,tblclients.firstname,tblclients.lastname FROM `tblnotes` JOIN tblclients ON tblclients.id=tblnotes.userid WHERE `sticky` = '1'");
   while ($data = @mysql_fetch_array ($result)) {
        $noteid = $data["id"];
        $userid = $data["userid"];
        $firstname = $data["firstname"];
        $lastname = $data["lastname"];
        $note = $data["note"];
        $date = $data["modified"];
       $content .= '<tr bgcolor="#ffffff" style="text-align:center;"><td><a href="clientssummary.php?userid='.$userid.'">'.$firstname. ' ' .$lastname.'</a></td><td><a href="clientsnotes.php?userid='.$userid.'&action=edit&id='.$noteid.'">'.$note.'</a></td><td>'.$date.'</td></tr>';
       $x=0;
   }
   if($x) $content =  '<p style="text-align:center;">No Sticky Notes to display';
   $content .= '</table>';

   return array( 'title' => 'Display Customer\'s Sticky Notes', 'content' => $content );
}

add_hook("AdminHomeWidgets",1,"widget_display_sticky_notes");

?>

one further update - the date format was annoying me, so it's now set to use the Admin date settings.

 

<?php
# WHMCS Widget to display sticky notes on the Admin Summary
# Hedley Phillips - Digital Essence
if (!defined("WHMCS"))
   die("This file cannot be accessed directly");

function widget_sticky_notes() {
       global $_ADMINLANG;

   $content = '<table bgcolor="#cccccc" align="center" style="margin-bottom:5px;width:100%;" cellspacing="1"><tr bgcolor="#efefef" style="text-align:center;font-weight:bold;"><td>'.$_ADMINLANG['fields']['client'].'</td><td>'.$_ADMINLANG['fields']['note'].'</td><td>'.$_ADMINLANG['fields']['lastmodified'].'</td></tr>';

   $x=1;
   $result = mysql_query("SELECT tblnotes.id,tblnotes.userid,tblnotes.modified,tblnotes.note,tblnotes.sticky,tblclients.firstname,tblclients.lastname FROM `tblnotes` JOIN tblclients ON tblclients.id=tblnotes.userid WHERE `sticky` = '1'");
   while ($data = @mysql_fetch_array ($result)) {
        $noteid = $data["id"];
        $userid = $data["userid"];
        $firstname = $data["firstname"];
        $lastname = $data["lastname"];
        $note = $data["note"];
        $date = $data["modified"];
       $content .= '<tr bgcolor="#ffffff" style="text-align:center;"><td><a href="clientssummary.php?userid='.$userid.'">'.$firstname. ' ' .$lastname.'</a></td><td><a href="clientsnotes.php?userid='.$userid.'&action=edit&id='.$noteid.'">'.$note.'</a></td><td>'.fromMySQLDate($date,$date).'</td></tr>';
       $x=0;
   }
   if($x) $content =  '<p style="text-align:center;">No Sticky Notes to display';
   $content .= '</table>';

   return array( 'title' => 'Sticky Notes', 'content' => $content );
}

add_hook("AdminHomeWidgets",1,"widget_sticky_notes");

Is this script provided by Dgital and corrected by brian work?

 

I mean also I want to show sticky note to all customers. I already use homepage.tpl to display but want to display note from admin area.

it's working quite happily on my v6 dev site

are you sure - Admin notes tend to be private for admins only...?

 

http://docs.whmcs.com/Clients:Emails/Notes/Logs_Tabs

 

Notes tab

 

Here staff can enter private notes about the client to be displayed to whoever views this Notes tab. The tab itself will display the number of notes in brackets. Separate notes sections are available available under the Products/Services, Domains and Profile tab.

 

Tick the Make Sticky checkbox and this note will be displayed throughout the client's account and on any tickets they submit in the admin area.

there's nothing to stop you from doing it (as it's just a query to the database), i'm just unsure if we're talking about the same thing, or whether you're talking about Notifications or a Home Page Panel ?
