Extenrnal API: Get product by name

[DigItalWarrior]

Hi all,

any method to get product by 'name' and not by 'pid' via external API?

Hi DigitalWarrior,

 

You could try this by saving it in your hooks folder and naming as myproducts.php, changing the case, info sections to your product info and removing my notes.

I haven't tested it but is should work. Hopefully I've understood you correctly to what you are after.

 

<?php

add_hook( 'ClientAreaPage', 1, function( $vars ) {

   $user   =   Menu :: context( 'client' );
   $data   =   array( 'showproductdata' => false );

   if (! $user ) return $data;

   $products = localAPI(
       'getclientsproducts',
       array(
           'clientid' => $user->getAttribute( 'id' ),
       ),
       'admin' );


   if (! $products || $products['result'] != 'success' || $products['totalresults'] == 0 || count( $products['products'] ) == 0 ) return $data;

   $data['showproductdata']    =   true;
   $product    =   $products['products']['product'][0];
   $info       =   null;
   $title      =   $product['translated_name'];

   switch( $product['pid'] ) :
   case '1' : //change to the 1st product id
       $info = 'productname1'; //change to the product name
       break;
   case '2' : //change to the 2nd product id
       $info = 'productname2'; //change to the product name
       break;
case '3' : //change to the 3rd product id
       $info = 'productname3'; //change to the product name
       break;

   endswitch;
   $data['myproduct']  =   array( 'info' => $info, 'title' => $title);

   return $data;




});

Hello payless4domains and thank you for your support.

Unfortunately I'm really new in WHMCS and I dont know how to use hooks.

I need to learn more about whmcs and any help is really appreciated.

Thank you again

Hi all,

it's not possible using WHMCS API, but you may write your own API file that will query database and work how you need it to work

Hey sentq, thank you for your reply.

Any code example or docs available or how to?

[sentq]

there is no official documentation for what you need to do, but here is how you can interact with the database
