Link to login as client directly into client's product

[robetus]

Is there a way I can put this link:

href="../dologin.php?username={$clientsdetails.email|urlencode}&language=&?action=productdetails&id={$serviceid}"

Inside the Product/Services tab (/admin/clientsservices.php) so that I can directly login to the product in the clientarea that I'm looking at in the admin area? I'm not sure the above syntax is correct either.

this is a problem in two halves...

firstly, I don't think it's possible to easily create such a link to login and redirect to a specific product in the client area - I know why it's difficult to do, but can't think of a simple workaround - the best I could quickly do was go to their products page.

even if you could get a working link, the second problem would be that you'd need to add it using an admin area hook - there isn't a template to edit.

I suspect it's just simpler to continue using the 'login as client' link in the summary and then working through the client area to the specific product.

Okay so I couldn't build a link using PHP and insert it that way with my module?

I'd have to grab the clients email and the service id, and then encode the url using php. Not possible?

the big problem is the double question mark in the URL and getting the browser to interpret that second one correctly...

[robetus]

print out a question mark in a php variable and then include that variable in the link?

you could try it, but I wouldn't be optimistic... $goto is your friend here, but you need to figure out a way to pass the redirect part of the URL correctly.

..dologin.php?username={$clientsdetails.email|urlencode}&language={$adminLanguage}&goto=clientarea.php?action=productdetails&id={$serviceid}

That's a smarty link, where would I put that? Like you said there is no template. I'm working inside a php file with my module. Is there a way to get smarty into a php file?

in a hook yes, but try passing it in the browser, or add the code to clientsummary.tpl and hardcode the variables and see if it works... I don't think it will.

No it didn't, thanks for trying. I'll have to think of something else.
