Custom Tabs (Client Area / Product Details) - Server Module

[Fr3DBr]

Hi, guys.

 

Is there any way to add a new tab here: (red mark)

 

 

Through a custom server provisioning module ?

you should be able to add the Paypal tab by modifying the clientareaproductdetails.tpl template.

Is there any other way without touching the template ? Maybe via the server module itself, the same way I've added these buttons for Bandwidth Utilization and Power Management ?

I wouldn't have thought so - I assume your module is just modifying {$moduleclientarea} and outputting via that method...

 

I think you'd have to modify the template to add the new tab in the first place - after that, you may be able to determine whether it's shown or not (and it's content) by a module.

i'm sure if that's incorrect, someone will correct me!

I've found this in whmcs repository:

 

/**
* Client area output logic handling.
*
* This function is used to define module specific client area output. It should
* return an array consisting of a template file and optional additional
* template variables to make available to that template.
*
* The template file you return can be one of two types:
*
* * tabOverviewModuleOutputTemplate - The output of the template provided here
*   will be displayed as part of the default product/service client area
*   product overview page.
*
* * tabOverviewReplacementTemplate - Alternatively using this option allows you
*   to entirely take control of the product/service overview page within the
*   client area.
*
* Whichever option you choose, extra template variables are defined in the same
* way. This demonstrates the use of the full replacement.
*
* Please Note: Using tabOverviewReplacementTemplate means you should display
* the standard information such as pricing and billing details in your custom
* template or they will not be visible to the end user.
*
* @param array $params common module parameters
*
* @see http://docs.whmcs.com/Provisioning_Module_SDK_Parameters
*
* @return array

function provisioningmodule_ClientArea(array $params)
{
   // Determine the requested action and set service call parameters based on
   // the action.
   $requestedAction = isset($_REQUEST['customAction']) ? $_REQUEST['customAction'] : '';
   if ($requestedAction == 'manage') {
       $serviceAction = 'get_usage';
       $templateFile = 'templates/manage.tpl';
   } else {
       $serviceAction = 'get_stats';
       $templateFile = 'templates/overview.tpl';
   }
   try {
       // Call the service's function based on the request action, using the
       // values provided by WHMCS in `$params`.
       $response = array();
       $extraVariable1 = 'abc';
       $extraVariable2 = '123';
       return array(
           'tabOverviewReplacementTemplate' => $templateFile,
           'templateVariables' => array(
               'extraVariable1' => $extraVariable1,
               'extraVariable2' => $extraVariable2,
           ),
       );
   } catch (Exception $e) {
       // Record the error in WHMCS's module log.
       logModuleCall(
           'provisioningmodule',
           __FUNCTION__,
           $params,
           $e->getMessage(),
           $e->getTraceAsString()
       );
       // In an error condition, display an error page.
       return array(
           'tabOverviewReplacementTemplate' => 'error.tpl',
           'templateVariables' => array(
               'usefulErrorHelper' => $e->getMessage(),
           ),
       );
   }
}

 

But not sure if this is what I'm looking for, I think with this piece of code, I can add information into 'existing tabs', but not sure if I can add extra ones.
