Hooks and "six" client home page

[bear]

I've been fiddling with the v6 template, and have found the hooks needed to do some of what I need, but I'm unsure about some of it. I see the Client area home page hook point: http://docs.whmcs.com/Hooks:ClientAreaHomepage but it doesn't go into detail about what can be done with it other than adding content to the page. I need to edit URIs and/or remove some bits.

 

I'm using an external helpdesk, so the ticket count and link needs to go (see attached, highlighted with a red box), as well as removing or editing the other bits below that. Looks like I can use something like the hooks that remove menu items to manipulate those: http://docs.whmcs.com/Working_With_Client_Area_Home_Page_Panels but it doesn't mention the blocks in the screen cap.

What have I missed here?

that hook is just for adding html content to that page, not for manipulating the existing content - if you're wanting to change URI's and remove sections, then take a look at the docs thread below and specifically the Dynamic Menus section...

though I would imagine that whatever you want to do, a hook has already been posted in these forums to do it!

you'll be pleased to hear you don't need any hooks for them - it's modified via a good old-fashioned template edit to six/clientareahome.tpl

the Dynamic Menus section...

Thanks. Been all through that, and the URI in need of changing isn't in a menu (which I didn't have much trouble with), it's in that support ticket block pictured.

Been reading loads of threads to find what I've needed, but some needs haven't come up, at least that I could find.

lol, here I was trying to "get with the program" and learn about hooks to "future proof" edits. Odd to have some as hooks and others as hard coded, but I suppose it's inevitable for some of it. Kind of like when I tried seeing the results of my efforts on the five theme, only to realize it's not controlled at all by hooks (that I could see).
