Help me with some header.tpl code

[AffordableDomainsCanada]

I am trying to install a Refer a friend module, and its asking me to install the following code;

 

Add following lines in templaes/{your-template}/header.tpl file

 

{php}
if(isset($_GET['uid']) && $_GET['uid']!='')
{
   $_SESSION['referrer'] = base64_decode($_GET['uid']);
}
{/php}

 

just after below lines of code

 

{$headeroutput}

 

But when I add

 

{php}
if(isset($_GET['uid']) && $_GET['uid']!='')
{
   $_SESSION['referrer'] = base64_decode($_GET['uid']);
}
{/php}

 

it breaks my website, im guessing it is NOT compatable with WHMCS 6.3.1, can someone help me make that little snipit of code compatable with 6.3.x

do you have {php} tags enabled in your settings?

 

http://docs.whmcs.com/Security_Tab#Allow_Smarty_PHP_Tags

 

The use of {php} tags is depreciated in WHMCS v6 and above, but legacy support can be enabled here during a transition period. We recommend keeping this option disabled unless specifically required.

I would suspect that they won't remove the option until v7 is released, so you should be ok for the rest of the year at least.
