home page panel: add array title and target to href

[wulfric]

How do I make a list item link have added arrays like target and title? <a href="uri" title="link stuff goes here" target="_blank">label</a>

 

Here is the code I ripped from the docs and a few other links, but I need your help so I can get results!

 

<?php

use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item;

add_hook('ClientAreaHomepagePanels', 1, function($homePagePanels) {
   $newPanel = $homePagePanels->addChild(
       'helpful-links',
       array(
           'name' => 'Helpful Links',
           'label' => 'Helpful Links',
           'icon' => 'fa-pie-chart',
           'order' => '10',
           // 'extras' => array(
           //     'btn-link' => '/xyz',
           //     'btn-text' => 'Resource',
           // ),
       )
   );

   $newPanel->addChild(
       'helpful-page',
       array(
           'label' => 'Goto a <u>helpful page</u> to check guides and stuff',
           'uri' => '/abc',
           'order' => 10,
           '[b]target[/b]' => 'blank',
           '[b]title[/b]' => 'link title here',
       )
   );
});

# HomePagePanel Hook
# Written by brian!

use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item;

add_hook('ClientAreaHomepagePanels', 1, function(Item $homePagePanels) {

   $html = '<p>Goto a <a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">helpful page</a> to check guides and stuff</p>';

   $homePagePanels->addChild('Helpful Links', array(
                       'label' => 'Helpful Links',
                       'icon' => 'fa-pie-chart',
                       'order' => 10,
                       'extras' => array(
                           'color' => 'blue',
                           'btn-link' => 'http://www.google.com',
                           'btn-text' => 'Google',
                           'btn-icon' => 'fa-google',
                           ),
                       'bodyHtml' => $html,
                       ));
});

that way, if you want to change the body of the panel, you just need to edit $html - so if you want to add lists, you can add them there... if you've got arrays to work with, you can loop their output etc.

 

if you want to do it your way, then you'd do something like this...

 

add_hook('ClientAreaHomepagePanels', 1, function(Item $homePagePanels) {
   $homePagePanels->addChild('helpful-links', array(
                       'name' => 'Helpful Links2',
                       'label' => 'Helpful Links',
                       'icon' => 'fa-pie-chart',
                       'order' => '10',
                   )
   );

   $homePagePanels->getChild('helpful-links')
                   ->addChild('helpful-page', array(
                       'label' => 'Goto a <u>helpful page</u> to check guides and stuff',
                       'uri' => '/abc',
                       'order' => 10,
                   )    
   )
                   ->setAttribute("target", "_blank");
}); 

 

 

the big difference between the two is that with mine, only the "helpful page" text is hyperlinked; with yours the entire child is linked.

 

if you wanted to save even more space, you could just drop the bodyhtml and use the link in the top-right of the panel to go to your page...
