WHMCS 7 breaks addons templates

[Eduardo G.]

Hi!

 

I use several custom addons and whmcs 7 has broken them all.

Each addon has its own templates, using smarty.

But now, when I render a template, I get:

 

Error: Fatal error: Uncaught --> Smarty: Unable to load template file 'my_template.tpl'

 

It happens with any simple template, so I see no specific tags causing problemas.

I've also tried Smarty Security Policy's bypass, using:

 

$smarty_security_policy => array(
   'system' => array(
       'trusted_dir' => array(
           '/path/to/my/addon',
           '/path/to/my/addon/templates',
       ),
   ),
);

 

But still same error.

 

Can't find the source of the error and can't get any help from whmcs support.

Can someone else help me?

 

Thanks.

I just checked this one myself, and cannot replicate this.

In your addon module, make sure you have

       'templatefile' => 'my_template',

 

In addition, make sure that you have my_template.tpl in the addon directory (not in your template directory).

if you're storing this as addon/templates/my_template.tpl, change

       'templatefile' => 'my_template',

to

       'templatefile' => 'templates/my_template',

 

the template path will always be relative to the addon itself.

 

If you didn't design the addon, you'll want to talk to the developer of the addon, as it's likely encoded

Thanks, twhiting9275

Addons are already working on version 6.x, so all paths are ok

Problem comes with version 7, so I don't think the code is the problem.

Must be something "global", like security policy or similar.

Sure it's related with whmcs's smarty integration, but can't guest how :-(

 

Any other idea?
