socialMediaPanel

[sebsimappus]

Hello,

 

Can you tell me if this is normal, I create the hook file for social network.

 

Yet it is visible on all pages, see print screens.

 

Also can tell me if it is possible to send the links on a new browser tab, because now when you click on facebook or twitter page he left to go to the social networking page.

 

thank you in advance for your help.

Hello,

 

Thank you for your feedback and help I attached the code :

 

<?php

 

use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem;

 

// Add social media links to the end of all secondary sidebars.

add_hook('ClientAreaSecondarySidebar', 1, function (MenuItem $secondarySidebar)

{

// Add a panel to the end of the secondary sidebar for social media links.

// Declare it with the name "social-media" so we can easily retrieve it

// later.

$secondarySidebar->addChild('social-media', array(

'label' => 'Social Media',

'uri' => '#',

'icon' => 'fa-thumbs-up',

));

 

// Retrieve the panel we just created.

$socialMediaPanel = $secondarySidebar->getChild('social-media');

 

// Move the panel to the end of the sorting order so it's always displayed

// as the last panel in the sidebar.

$socialMediaPanel->moveToBack();

 

// Add a Facebook link to the panel.

$socialMediaPanel->addChild('facebook-link', array(

'uri' => 'https://www.facebook.com/facebook',

'label' => 'Like us on Facebook!',

'order' => 1,

'icon' => 'fa-facebook',

));

 

// Add a Twitter link to the panel after the Facebook link.

$socialMediaPanel->addChild('twitter-link', array(

'uri' => 'https://twitter.com/twitter',

'label' => 'Follow us on Twitter!',

'order' => 2,

'icon' => 'fa-twitter',

));

 

// Add a Google+ link to the panel after the Twitter link.

$socialMediaPanel->addChild('google-plus-link', array(

'uri' => 'https://plus.google.com/+Google',

'label' => 'Add us to your circles!',

'order' => 3,

'icon' => 'fa-google-plus',

));

});

if it's the panel hook from the documentation...

 

http://docs.whmcs.com/Editing_Client_Area_Menus

 

you could modify the links to open in a new window/tab...

the social media sidebar is designed to appear on all pages - so it's working normally.

 

you can set it to appear on only some pages, but it would be helpful if you told us where you want to show this sidebar and where you do not want to show it.

Hello,

 

A big thank you for your help, and I apologize for not having had more accurate.

 

Good job

 

Would it be possible to ensure that it does not appear in the login page (clientarea.php).

 

thank you in advance

Hi whmcs community,

 

How can I add different facebook links for different languages... So that every country can have different facebook link in their language.

 

I added this code... I got error...

// Add a Facebook link to the panel.

$socialMediaPanel->addChild('facebook-link', array(

'uri' => 'https://www.facebook.com/facebook1',

{if $LANG.facebook}<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://www.facebook.com/facebook" />{/if}

'label' => 'Like us on Facebook!',

'order' => 1,

'icon' => 'fa-facebook',

));

 

Looking forward hearing from you all.

 

With Best Regards,

 

Ugyen

that's because you added a bit of Smarty code to the middle of the hook - and you can't use Smarty in these hooks.

 

the simplest way would be to just use a Language Override for every language...

 

// Add a Facebook link to the panel.
$socialMediaPanel->addChild('facebook-link', array(
'uri' => Lang::trans('facebookurl'),
'label' => 'Like us on Facebook!',
'order' => 1,
'icon' => 'fa-facebook',
))
->setAttribute("target", "_blank");

and set add an override for every language, e.g, for overrides/english.php you could add...

 

$_LANG['facebookurl'] = "https://en-gb.facebook.com/";

for lang/overrides/french.php, you could add...

 

$_LANG['facebookurl'] = "https://fr-fr.facebook.com/";

as long as you remember to add a URL for every language choice, it should work fine... depending on your facebook URLs and if the sidebar were for clients-only, there would be cleverer ways to do this, but the above should meet your requirement.
