accessing variables

[Emhope]

I am having an issue finding how to utilise variables that don't appear to be accessible in certain template files.

 

eg. $registerdomainenabled is available on homepage.tpl but not available elsewhere.

 

Is there an easy way to retrieve and/or set the status of this variable (true or false) on other template files?

the usual way would be to use Action Hooks - http://docs.whmcs.com/Hooks - the required information can usually be found by accessing existing variables or querying the database...

 

e.g., if you wanted to make the value of $registerdomainenabled available on other client pages, you could use the hook below... equally, you could query the db for the same information.

 

<?php

function register_enabled_hook($vars) 
{
   global $CONFIG;
   $registerenabled = $CONFIG['AllowRegister']; 

   if ($registerenabled == "on") {
       $registerenabled = TRUE;
       return array("registerenabled" => $registerenabled);
   }
}
add_hook("ClientAreaPage", 1, "register_enabled_hook");
?> 

in practice, the above creates a new variable, $registerenabled, if the "Allow Clients to Register domains" checkbox is ticked in the settings.

 

 

if it's unticked, then this new variable will not be created - thus working in exactly the same way as $registerdomainenabled.

 

if you wanted to, you could tweak the hook code to call it $registerdomainenabled and replace the existing variable - but as things stand, on the homepage, you should have access to both variables; on other pages, you should only have access to this new one.
