Display customers ID in six template

[TechLineX]

Hello WHMCS-Community,

 

how is it possible to show the customers ID for them in their clientarea?

 

Regards

if you want to show it by editing a template, you could use...

 

{$clientsdetails.id}

if you want to show it in the navbar/sidebar/panel, then you'd need to use an action hook - which one will depend on where you want to display the customer ID.

I want it to show it in "My details" at the left in the sidebar. Is it possible to integrate it simply via a template file?

i'm afraid not - you're going to need an action hook.

i've modified the code for you to show the customer ID...

 

<?php

use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem;

add_hook('ClientAreaPrimarySidebar', 1, function (MenuItem $primarySidebar)
{
   $client = Menu::context('client');

   if($client->companyname != ""){
       $name = '<strong>'.$client->companyname.'</strong>';
   } else {
   $name = '<strong>'.$client->fullname.'</strong>';
   }
   $address1 = $client->address1;
   if($client->address2 != ""){
       $address2 = '<br>'.$client->address2;
   } else {
       $address2='';
   }
   $city = ' '.$client->city;
   $state = '<br>'.$client->state;
   $postcode = '<br>'.$client->postcode;
   $country = '<br>'.$client->countryname;
   $clientid = '<br><br>Customer ID: '.$client->id;
   $address_new = $name.'<p>'.$address1.$address2.$postcode.$city.$state.$country.$clientid.'</p>';

   if (!is_null($primarySidebar->getChild('Client Details'))) {
                    $primarySidebar->getChild('Client Details')
                                              ->setBodyHtml($address_new);
   }
}); 

to use it, just create a file within /includes/hooks, call it customeridsidebar.php and paste the above code into it.

Hi there, I know this is an old thread but i like the idea I just have one question.

How can I make something  with the same idea but instead of a customer id like a number. It says the clients name like "Welcome back John" and then also like a breadcrumb trail below that, that then shows the Customer Code like JHN310 basically an abstract of the clients name and a randomly generated number?  Theme I am using is the control theme, the default order form template is Control Alternative Compare (Default). (Not sure if this helps)

@Tiaan that would require a way to store the ID - most likely in the database. You would need to create a separate table.
During the ClientAdd event, you need to generate the customer code and store it in the database.
