Trying to add a link to the account section menu

[Web Host Pro]

I can seem to find where in the hooks files you would add another link to show up in the account section of the top menu.

 

https://webhost.pro/index.php

 

It looks like it's called: TMSecondaryNavbar.php

 

But when I add a new hook there nothing adds to the menu.

 

Thanks,

Charley

Charley,

 

it's going to be something along the lines of...

 

<?php

use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem;

add_hook('ClientAreaSecondaryNavbar', 1, function (MenuItem $secondaryNavbar)
{
   if (!is_null($secondaryNavbar->getChild('Account'))) {
       $secondaryNavbar->getChild('Account')
       ->addChild('brian', array(
                   'label' => 'Label Name',
                   'uri' => 'http://www.google.com',
                   'order' => 40,
   ));
   }
});

you might need to change a few things - e.g the label name... and the child name (if you don't want to name it after me!).

 

give it a .php filename, stick it in /includes/hooks and it should work.

Hmm, I added the file Affiliates.php

 

With this code but no luck, these hooks are the death of me. I can seem to wrap my head around the formats:

 

<?php

 

 

use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem;

 

 

add_hook('ClientAreaSecondaryNavbar', 1, function (MenuItem $secondaryNavbar)

{

if (!is_null($secondaryNavbar->getChild('Account'))) {

$secondaryNavbar->getChild('Account')

->addChild('affiliates', array(

'label' => 'Affiliates',

'uri' => 'affiliates.php',

'order' => 40,

));

}

});

the code itself is fine - this is what the above hook does on my v7.1.2 dev....

 

 

whereas, if you look at your site using the Six template, I see this...

 

 

that icon next to account, plus the cart being there immediately tells me that the secondary navbar is already being modified by a hook - probably the mysterious "TMSecondaryNavbar.php" - perhaps there's a clash with whatever that hook is doing and what the above hook is doing.

 

I can see there is already an Affiliates link in your primary navbar, and you can't have two children with the same name (not label) in the same navbar - but as these are different navbars, that shouldn't matter.

 

if I were you, i'd consolidate the navbar hooks all in one file (or 2 if you want to split them primary/secondary) - that way you only need to look in one place for changes to the navbar... if you've got multiple hooks trying to do different things to the same navbar, and if one isn't coded correctly, then you'll see errors (or more likely a blank screen!).

Good day all

I have noticed that the following code works to activate affiliates:

<?php

 

 

use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem;

 

 

add_hook('ClientAreaSecondaryNavbar', 1, function (MenuItem $secondaryNavbar)

{

if (!is_null($secondaryNavbar->getChild('Account'))) {

$secondaryNavbar->getChild('Account')

->addChild('affiliates', array(

'label' => 'Affiliates',

'uri' => 'affiliates.php',

'order' => 40,

));

}

});

 

The only problem I have is to have this done for a specific individual who is already an activated affiliate in my WHMCS Dashboard.

Can someone please explain to me how to get this activated for a specific affiliate ?

Thank you in advanced
