Disable Registrar Lock option for unsupported TLD

[hostservice_71]

Hi,

 

there's several extensions like the popular .nl where the registrar does not use the Registrar Lock option. Still, customers with those tld's (about 90% of our customer base) still see an option in their account to Lock. When they click they get an error and start sending in support tickets.

 

How do we disable the option for certain tld's?

How do we disable the option for certain tld's?

you may need to use a combination of hooks and template edits to achieve this - as I believe the reglock page can be visited via the sidebar, manage domain and bulk changes.

 

to remove the Registrar Lock link from the sidebar for specific TLDs, you could use the following hook...

 

<?php

use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem;

add_hook('ClientAreaPrimarySidebar', 1, function(MenuItem $primarySidebar)

{
$domain = Menu::context('domain');
$mydomain = $domain->domain;
$tld = substr($mydomain, strrpos($mydomain, ".")+1);
$blockedtlds = array('eu','nl');

if (in_array($tld, $blockedtlds)) {
   if (!is_null($primarySidebar->getChild('Domain Details Management'))) {
            $primarySidebar->getChild('Domain Details Management')
                           ->removeChild('Registrar Lock Status');
   }
}
});

in this case, .eu and .nl domains will not show the registrar lock link (regardless of whether it's available through the registrar module assigned to the TLD).

 

with regards to manage domain, you could add the following Smarty code to the beginning of clientareadomaindetails.tpl..

 

{$tld=substr($domain, strrpos($domain, ".")+1)}
{$blockedtlds=['eu','nl']}
{if in_array($tld,$blockedtlds)}
{$managementoptions.locking = false}
{/if}

this will remove the "Change the registrar lock status for your domain" link from the page for the specified TLDs... it's written in Smarty v3, so will only work in WHMCS v6+... you could make this into another hook (clientareapage) to avoid modifying the template, but for simplicity, i've used Smarty code.

 

to remove the bulk reglock option, just delete the link from clientareadomains.tpl...

 

<li><a href="#" id="reglock" class="setBulkAction"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-lock"></i> {$LANG.domainreglockstatus}</a></li>

... or you could just edit the tabRegLock block of clientareadomaindetails.tpl and modify the text if the domain is from one of your specified TLDs.

Thanks so much for this! I have the same issue and was struggling to figure out how to do it.

 

It was so easy in WHMCS v5, with the $tld template var, but this is missing in v6.

 

I prefer to do it with hooks though, just seems cleaner.

In case it helps someone ... here's how I ended up removing the Domain Lock option from the Domain Details page, using a hook:

 

add_hook('ClientAreaPageDomainDetails', 1, function ($vars) {
/* set unsupported TLDs and get current domain's TLD*/
$unsupportedTLDs = array(
	// domains that don't support locking
);
$domain          = Menu::context('domain');
$this_domain     = $domain->domain;
$tld             = substr($this_domain, strrpos($this_domain, ".") + 1);

/*----------  hide registrar lock options for unsupported TLDs  ----------*/
if (in_array($tld, $unsupportedTLDs)) {

	$vars['managementoptions']['locking']                 = false;
	$vars['lockstatus']                					  = false;

	return $vars;
}
});

In what file do you do this?

 

Sorry it took little to respond. I'm flabbergasted this needs to be done in such a complicated way and is not just a simply tick box in admin option. Next to mail forwarding, DNS control and EPP code.

any hooks will go in the includes/hooks directory - for the template edits, i've specified the file to edit.

if you think the above is complicated, I dread to think what the module code to add this feature to the domain pricing would look like!

 

I guess you could make an addon to do that, but it would be easier for WHMCS to do it themselves... you could make a feature request for this, but I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for it to be implemented.

Brian thanks for the hook, but my question is, is that possible to disable only for certain registry ???

[Daniel C]

Perhaps someday they will introduce it as a standard feature in WHMCS. ^ ^

 

🥳

I wonder if this is now standard in 2024 WHMCS versions ? Or this type of code still required ?
