Add new client with missing required fields

[Thembi]

How to add new client with Addclient API call without required fields/field like ('phonenumber') , and then force client to edit his/her details at this link 'clientarea.php?action=details#_=_' when

user details are not complete.

 

below is my code:

$command = 'AddClient';
$postData = array(
   'firstname' => 'John',
   'lastname' => 'Doe',
   'email' => 'john.doe@example.com',
   'address1' => '123 Main Street',
   'city' => 'Anytown',
   'state' => 'ST',
   'postcode' => '12345',
   'country' => 'US',
   'phonenumber' => '', //without the phone number
   'password2' => 'password',
   'cardtype' => 'Visa',
   'cardnum' => '4111111111111111',
   'expdate' => '0721',
   'clientip' => '1.2.3.4',
);
$adminUsername = 'ADMIN_USERNAME';

$results = localAPI($command, $postData, $adminUsername);

You don't actually have to use the localAPI for this anymore since WHMCS 6.0

 

You can use the WHMCS classes, its much nicer!

 

$newClient = new \WHMCS\User\Client;
$newClient->firstName = "John";
$newClient->lastName = "Doe";
$newClient->email = "john.doe@example.com";
$newClient->passwordHash = bcrypt("password"); // you have to hash the password

//.. etc

$newClient->save();

 

In regards to passwordHash if you are using PHP 5.3.7 or greater, then bcrypt will be used. If you are using PHP less than 5.3.7, SHA256-HMAC will be used.

 

You can see all the fields you can set here:

Sorry the forum wont let me edit my post - you don't use bcrypt like that, you use it like this:

 

$passwordHash = password_hash("password", PASSWORD_BCRYPT);
