Dedicated Order form NS1 and 2 field removal

[bluerayconcepts]

I am wanting to remove the required fields NS1 and NS2 on the dedicated server order form. I have been able to remove the fields but continue to get the must fill out required fields warning.

 

Does anyone know where and how to remove the required field setting for the NS1 and NS2 prefix on the dedicated server order form?

I don't think you can remove their requirement - it's hard-coded to check those fields aren't empty...

 

the simplest way around that would be, for dedicated servers, to not show them and pass them as hidden fields - that will allow the information to be passed to the cart, but not show either the fields or an error upon submission.

 

so in standard_cart/configureproduct.tpl, you could replace the nameserver code (which you say you have removed), with...

 

<input type="hidden" name="ns1prefix" class="form-control" id="inputNs1prefix" value=" ">
<input type="hidden" name="ns2prefix" class="form-control" id="inputNs2prefix" value=" ">

if you only wanted to remove it for some dedicated server products, you could use an {if} statement and specify the ones to ask for nameservers, but the above should remove it for all of your DS products.

 

I haven't testing passing a space as the value thoroughly - so if it causes an issue, just change the values passed to ns1 and ns2.

Thanks Brian that did it. After digging around for a few hours I was starting to figure it was hardcoded someplace

no joke, it is Brian again!

<input type="hidden" name="ns1prefix" class="form-control" id="inputNs1prefix" value="noSN1">
<input type="hidden" name="ns2prefix" class="form-control" id="inputNs2prefix" value="noNS2">

works on WHMCS 8.1

empty space was not working

how can i generate random names for every order hostnames ?

Thanks

I don't recommend to do any template changes in the template files, because you need to remember these changes when upgrading WHMCS. Instead use this hook to hide the fields via Javascript + insert a default value.
I have attached an example hook (can't post it here, my HTTP requests got blocked from the WHMCS server). You would save this into "includes/hooks/<choosable_filename>.php".

Please note that this is not the cleanest hook code-wise. You could remove the "ClientAreaPageCart" hook and just generate the values directly in ClientAreaFooterOutput. Also, the passwords are not generated cryptographically secure. I wrote this hook many years ago. But it should work and give you a good starting point if you want to do better.

Wow this is awesome! Can you please help me adjust your hook to remove the root password field but show the hostname field?  We only use KVM and you  can't choose the root password for it. I think some customers may want to add a custom hostname.  Removing those annoying ns1 fields is a godsend.

Please see my previous hook. It does generate a random hostname and a password.

Thanks @string, it worked.

i am looking for one more hook if possible for you please help.

we sell VPS services so hostname or domain most of the time user choose same and if user has many service they get confused which invoice is for which service.

Showing Dedicated ip on unpaid invoice or on all invoices whichever possible.

I just tested it with WHMCS v8.2.1 and the hook works fine here. However, I noticed an error when generating the hostname, it did not consist of random characters. 

I suspect that you did not put the hook into the correct directory. Attached you ind the updated hook including the directory structure, so you can simply upload the extracted content directly to your WHMCS root directory.

The invoice description can be changed via the WHMCS hook InvoiceCreationPreEmail. 

Unfortunately I don't have a hook for this. I would recommend to have a look in the marketplace if there is a module for it. Alternatively you can look for a developer in the Service Offers & Requests section, if nobody else can provide you a hook.

Amazing, thanks so much for this. Working great on whmcs 8.7.1 and php 8.1.
