smarty variable - Hide elements if sub account is logged in?

[DigiSA]

Hi there guys,

 

I need some help

 

I am trying to hide menu items based on sub clients being logged in, so basically the below code but for sub clients.

 

{if $loggedin}
   <p>User is logged in so display client only information</p>
{else}
   <p>User is not logged in so display this</p>
{/if}

 

I know there is no native variable for sub clients, and I would have to create a hook for that, but I can't seem to find any assistance on google or WHMCS docs. I have found the below code, and was wondering if anyone could guide me in the right direction.

 

<?php
/**
* Hook sample for defining additional template variables
*
* @param array $vars Existing defined template variables
*
* @return array
*/
function hook_template_variables_example($vars)
{
   $extraTemplateVariables = array();

   // set a fixed value
   $extraTemplateVariables['fixedValue'] = 'abc';

   // fetch clients data if available
   $clientsData = isset($vars['clientsdetails']) ? $vars['clientsdetails'] : null;

   // determine if client is logged in
   if (is_array($clientsData) && isset($clientsData['id'])) {
       $userId = $clientsData['id'];
       // perform calculation here
       $extraTemplateVariables['userSpecificValue'] = '123';
       $extraTemplateVariables['anotherUserOnlyValue'] = '456';
   }

   // return array of template variables to define
   return $extraTemplateVariables;
}

add_hook('ClientAreaPageViewTicket', 1, 'hook_template_variables_example');
?>

 

Thanks a ton!

when you say "sub-clients", do you mean "sub-accounts" ?

 

http://docs.whmcs.com/Sub-Accounts

 

if so, and if you're using a template based on "Six", then you should probably take a look at the WHMCS Class Documentation.

 

http://docs.whmcs.com/classes/classes/WHMCS.User.Client.Contact.html

 

that has a variable that you can use in your navbar/sidebars etc which can check for sub-account status - $isSubAccount

 

Whether or not a client contact is a sub-account. Sub-accounts may log into the client area.

reading the documentation/cheatsheets on v6 navigation might also help...

 

http://docs.whmcs.com/Version_6.0

 

no-one has asked about this before, so you're in unknown waters - the above documentation is all we have to go on... try it on something simple first such as adding or removing a menu item..

Ah yes, sorry! It is indeed a sub-account. Thanks I will try out your methods, and hopefully come back with some positive news.
