Add a cart icon hook to the script?

[Web Host Pro]

Hi,

Just trying to get some insight on adding a shopping cart icon like on this image to the WHMCS main menu.

blog.webhost.pro/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/cart.jpg

 

I can add hooks, I just have no idea how to add a hook next to the menu "account" drop down link.

I also am not sure how to add an icon with a number to show how many items are in the shopping cart.

I am willing pay for help as well.

Any insight will help me.

Thanks so much for your time.

Charles

Hi Charles,

 

I can add hooks, I just have no idea how to add a hook next to the menu "account" drop down link.

take a look at the hook in the thread below - that will add a view cart link next to the account dropdown.

and if you wanted to add an icon, the code would be...

 

<?php

use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem;

add_hook('ClientAreaSecondaryNavbar', 1, function (MenuItem $secondaryNavbar)
{
   $secondaryNavbar->addChild('View Cart', array(
               'label' => Lang::trans('viewcart'),
               'uri' => 'cart.php?a=view',
               'order' => '0',
           ))
           ->setIcon('fa-shopping-cart');
});

 

I also am not sure how to add an icon with a number to show how many items are in the shopping cart.

if you wanted to add a number after the label, that's a badge...

 

<?php

use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem;

add_hook('ClientAreaSecondaryNavbar', 1, function (MenuItem $secondaryNavbar)
{
   $secondaryNavbar->addChild('View Cart', array(
               'label' => '',
               'uri' => 'cart.php?a=view',
               'order' => '0',
           ))
           ->setIcon('fa-shopping-cart')
           ->setBadge('5');
});

the only part that's missing is getting the number of items in the shopping cart - in the above code, it's hard-coded as 5 - it's shown in the header template using {$cartitemcount}... I think you would need to get that Smarty variable in your hook - or find some other way to get the value.

Great, almost there and thanks so much.

Just working on the item number with the badge.

I see that this is what shows the number {$cartitemcount}

Any idea how to add that to the hook?

I tried to add it to where you added the number in the badge but it just shows the words and doesn't grab anything. Maybe a path with it or something to tell it to do a command instead of text?

<?php

 

use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem;

 

add_hook('ClientAreaSecondaryNavbar', 1, function (MenuItem $secondaryNavbar)

{

$secondaryNavbar->addChild('View Cart', array(

'label' => '',

'uri' => 'cart.php?a=view',

'order' => '{$cartitemcount}',

))

->setIcon('fa-shopping-cart')

->setBadge('5');

});

Another theme I use for WHMCS does this and it works:

 

<a href="cart.php?a=view" class="quick-nav"><i class="fa fa-shopping-cart"></i> <span class="hidden-xs">{$LANG.viewcart} <span class="badge">{$cartitemcount}</span></span></a>

 

 

Just can't figure out how to translate this in a hook.

not tested well (can be improved), but you can use something like this:

->setBadge(count($_SESSION['cart']['products']))

Hmm I tried that but just got a 500 error, thanks though. I'm trying everything I can get my hands to try and make it work. The link is already very helful just would like to show the cart items. I think it helps when shopping.

[h=1]Server error[/h]

500

[sentq]

this should be the final result:

<?php

use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem;

add_hook('ClientAreaSecondaryNavbar', 1, function (MenuItem $secondaryNavbar)
{
   $secondaryNavbar->addChild('View Cart', array(
               'label' => 'Cart ',
               'uri' => 'cart.php?a=view',
               'order' => '0',
           ))
           ->setIcon('fa-shopping-cart')
           ->setBadge(count($_SESSION['cart']['products']));
});

Awesome, mission accomplished.

Really helpful guys!

[brian!]

I set them up, and sentq finishes them off... nice work!

 

as sentq says, this can be improved because the figure it currently shows isn't accurate - it's only showing the number of products, and if you have a product that requires a domain, the header will show "2" in the cart, this hook will show "1"... or if you only have a domain, the hook will show "0" whilst the header shows "1"...

 

to get around this, you just need to make a slight change to the code..

 

<?php

use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem;

add_hook('ClientAreaSecondaryNavbar', 1, function (MenuItem $secondaryNavbar)
{
   $itemsincart = (count($_SESSION['cart']['products']) + count($_SESSION['cart']['domains']));
   $secondaryNavbar->addChild('View Cart', array(
               'label' => '',
               'uri' => 'cart.php?a=view',
               'order' => '0',
           ))
           ->setIcon('fa-shopping-cart')
           ->setBadge($itemsincart);
});

this method also gives you the option to only show the cart icon link if there is something in the cart...

 

<?php

use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem;

add_hook('ClientAreaSecondaryNavbar', 1, function (MenuItem $secondaryNavbar)
{
   $itemsincart = (count($_SESSION['cart']['products']) + count($_SESSION['cart']['domains']));
   if ($itemsincart > 0) {
   $secondaryNavbar->addChild('View Cart', array(
               'label' => '',
               'uri' => 'cart.php?a=view',
               'order' => '0',
           ))
           ->setIcon('fa-shopping-cart')
           ->setBadge($itemsincart);
   }
});

Hey guys, 

In WHMCS , thanks for this <a href="cart.php?a=view" class="quick-nav"><i class="fa fa-shopping-cart"></i> <span class="hidden-xs">{$LANG.viewcart} <span class="badge">{$cartitemcount}</span></span></a>

{$cartitemcount} would anyone have a way, snippet or hook, which when cart has 0 nothing it it, hide the badge?

that's just a variation on a hook I posted a yesterday....

<?php
function client_hide_view_cart_hook($vars) {
	if ($vars['cartitemcount'] == 0) {
		$head_return = "<style>li.primary-action {display: none !important;}</style>";
		return $head_return;
	}
}
add_hook("ClientAreaHeaderOutput",1,"client_hide_view_cart_hook");

[thianbrodie]

Perfect,

 

Thank you again Brian!

@brian! there's just one issue with how you're getting the amount of items in the cart - it also grabs any item that you're currently putting in the cart (on the confproduct page) before adding them to the cart.

This can be done to get the correct amount:

add_hook('ClientAreaSecondaryNavbar', 1, function(MenuItem $secondaryNavbar) {
	$orderfrm = new WHMCS\OrderForm();
	$cartitemcount = $orderfrm->getNumItemsInCart();
	$secondaryNavbar->addChild('View Cart', array(
			'label' => '',
			'uri' => 'cart.php?a=view', 
			'order' => '0'
		))
		->setIcon('fa-shopping-cart')
		->setBadge($cartitemcount);
});

aah - I was trying to avoid using internal functions, defined in encoded files, that we probably shouldn't really know about. 😎

[DennisHermannsen]

No no no, I totally came up with that on my own, I swear 😜
