menu link Knowledgebase to point elsewhee

[Bashy]

Hi, i have read all about the hooks etc and read a few posts on here, but what i cannot

figure out is what file i actually edit to change the link to the Knowledgebase link in the

navbar menu, i want it to point somewhere else....

there is no file to edit to change a link in the navbar - well I suppose technically you could edit navbar.tpl if you knew what you were doing, but there's no point.

 

what you need to do is create a new .php file in /includes/hooks, call it kblinks.php (or whatever), and then paste the following code into it.

 

<?php

use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem;

add_hook('ClientAreaPrimaryNavbar', 1, function (MenuItem $primaryNavbar)
{
   if (!is_null($primaryNavbar->getChild('Knowledgebase'))) {
       $primaryNavbar->getChild('Knowledgebase')
                       ->setURI('https://www.google.com');
   }

   if (!is_null($primaryNavbar->getChild('Support'))) {
       $primaryNavbar->getChild('Support')
                       ->getChild('Knowledgebase')
                       ->setURI('https://www.google.com');
   }    
});

the first half is for the navbar kb link when the client is NOT logged in; the second half is for when they are.

Hi Brian, thank you ever so much, that worked great could i please trouble you for the same in the left sidebar (logged in)

shouldnt need to ask again (hopefully) as i will then have something to work with if needed in the future

 

Thanks again, i really appreciate it

[brian!]

use the following code instead in the same file...

 

<?php

use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem;

add_hook('ClientAreaPrimaryNavbar', 1, function (MenuItem $primaryNavbar)
{
   if (!is_null($primaryNavbar->getChild('Knowledgebase'))) {
       $primaryNavbar->getChild('Knowledgebase')
                       ->setURI('https://www.google.com');
   }

   if (!is_null($primaryNavbar->getChild('Support'))) {
       $primaryNavbar->getChild('Support')
                       ->getChild('Knowledgebase')
                       ->setURI('https://www.google.com');
   }    
});

add_hook('ClientAreaSecondarySidebar', 1, function(MenuItem $secondarySidebar)
{
   if (!is_null($secondarySidebar->getChild('Support'))) {
            $secondarySidebar->getChild('Support')
                               ->getChild('Knowledgebase')
                               ->setURI('https://www.google.com');
   }
});

Dear bashy

 

why you do not use htaccess redirect ?

you can redirect Knowledgebase url to any where you need.

Hi, sounds interesting, could you please explain, i did try using this example but it failed

Redirect /path/to/old/file/old.html http://www.example.com/new/file/new.html

[Bashy]

Thanks Monovm, didnt realise there was an easier way
