Widget doesn't show language and values

[monstertocode]

Hi so have this problem with the widget that it doesn't show the language that i have set for it nor the values in the tags.

Can someone help me with this?

Thanks.

 

Code:

Hook:

<?php
add_hook('AdminHomeWidgets', 1, function() {
    $clientfiles = new ClientFiles();
    $datas = array(
        'lang'=> $_SESSION["Language"],
    );
    $clientfiles->setData($datas);
    return $clientfiles;
});

 

Class ClientFiles:

<?php 

use WHMCS\Database\Capsule;
use WHMCS\Module\AbstractWidget;

class ClientFiles extends AbstractWidget
{
    protected $title = 'Client Files';
    protected $description = '';
    protected $weight = 100;
    protected $columns = 1;
    protected $cache = false;
    protected $cacheExpiry = 120;
    protected $requiredPermission = '';
    protected $lang = '';
    
    public function setData($data)
    {
        $this->lang = $data["lang"];
    }
    
    public function getData()
    {
        return array(
            'lang' => $this->lang,
        );
    }

    public function generateOutput($data)
    {
        include( $_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT] . '/whmcs/modules/addons/client_document/lang/english.php' );
        include($_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT] . "/whmcs/modules/addons/client_document/templates/adminarea2.tpl");
    }
}

 

html:

        <style>
            ul{list-style-type: none;}
        </style>
        <div class="widget-content-padded">

                            {if($file[adminonly])}

the most obvious thought being - why 4 files? you got a hook, calling another hook, calling a language file and a template ???

1. unless i'm missing something, you only need one file - just the widget hook.
2. forget about the custom language file... just add global $_ADMINLANG to the widget, that gives you access to the current admin language file (and you won't have to mess with declaring a language)... if you need strings that aren't already defined, use admin Language Overrides... and reference the language strings as below in your code...

   AdminLang::trans('clientsummary.fileadminonly')

    

3. forget about using Smarty in a template - just do the output in PHP in the original hook.

btw - what's the purpose of the widget?? you can already upload files via the client's profile summary page, so it seems a little redundant to reinvent the wheel if that's all this widget does.

Hi brian thank for the quick reply, i know that there's already the file section in in the adminclientsummarypage but i can't alter it mostly because of my bosses they don't want me to alter the original files of WHMCS.

They wanted me to add the file type so the client would know what they have and search for it by type and because of that i had to change a table and add one to the database and the file section doesn't interact with that so that's why i'm making it.

it's one of the few admin area pages that uses it's own Smarty template too... so easy to edit... i'd just keep a copy of it and edit away - but bosses will be bosses!

ok fair enough... though I might have been tempted to determine filetype from the file extension in the client area and then use that to show what the filetype is.
