Load Shortcuts sidebar menu in custom page

[webempresa]

Hi,

 

I've created a custom page following the instructions on this page:

 

http://docs.whmcs.com/Creating_Pages

 

I want to add Shortcuts menú sidebar (this menu loads on client area home). I check http://docs.whmcs.com/Editing_Client_Area_Menus#Context looking for this menu, but I can't find it.

 

Regards.

take a look at the bottom of the Six/header.tpl template and you'll see that it uses an {include} link to includes/sidebar.tpl - adding a similar link to your custom page should allow the sidebar to appear.

This does not work.

 

If, for example, I put this code in the php file:

 

Menu::secondarySidebar('support');

 

it loads Support sidebar menu. But I want to load Shortcuts sidebar.

 

Thanks for your help.

isn't the Shortcuts sidebar officially called 'Client Shortcuts' - have you tried using that?

Hi,

 

If I use this code:

 

Menu::secondarySidebar('Client Shortcuts');

 

a blank page is loaded. It doesn't work. I check http://docs.whmcs.com/Editing_Client_Area_Menus#Context looking for this menu, but I can't find it.

perhaps WHMCS hasn't defined 'Client Shortcuts' as a pre-set sidebar ? it may be worth opening a ticket with support to see what they say.

 

the alternative would be to write an action hook to re-create the Client Shortcuts sidebar on your page - there's only a few straightforward links in that sidebar, so they'll be easy to add.

maybe they are available in specific pages only

maybe they are available in specific pages only

possibly - though a quick look at clientarea.php might tell us how that page calls that sidebar - pity it's encoded!
