ClientAdd Hook, Save Custom field

[cyberpods]

Hi all, I'm trying to add a custom field to a clients account when their account is created and cant't seem to get it working.

 

This code works when I save any field on a clients account that's already created.

add_hook(
   'CustomFieldSave',
   1,
   function($vars) {
       //Check that the fieldid is one you wish to override
       if ($vars['fieldid'] == 1 && strlen($vars['value']) == '0') {          
           return array('value' => "MyCustomField");
       }
       return array();
   }
);

 

But this does not work.

add_hook(
   'ClientAdd',
   1,
   function($vars) {
       //Check that the fieldid is one you wish to override
       if ($vars['fieldid'] == 1 && strlen($vars['value']) == '0') {          
           return array('value' => "MyCustomField");
       }
       return array();
   }
);

 

What am I doing wrong?

you need to treat each ActionHook Points differently, what is working on "CustomFieldSave" will not work in "ClientAdd", read: http://docs.whmcs.com/Hooks:ClientAdd

 

in ClientAdd, custom fields passed as array $vars['customfields'], this what you need to validate, and if you want to make changes to it, you would need to add the updated value directly in database

Ok, I figured it out. I decided to use the internal API to make the changes. Here is the code I'm using if it can help anyone else.

 

add_hook(

'ClientAdd',

1,

function($vars) {

$userid = $vars['userid'];

$command = "updateclient";

$adminuser = "adminuser";

$values["clientid"] = $userid;

$values["customfields"] = base64_encode(serialize(array("1"=>"CustomValueStringToSave")));

$results = localAPI($command,$values,$adminuser);

return array();

}

);
