you should be able to use the ClientAreaPageDomainContacts hook to do that and modify the array.

the problem with this hook is that you're not querying the database, but the domain contact information is being pulled from the Registrar directly... and each registrar uses many different fields, and some have multiple contacts (admin, technical etc), so without knowing which registrar and fields you want to hide, it's difficult to code an example hook that you could modify... and if you're using multiple registrars, then the code could be even more complicated.

one quick alternative method would be to edit the clientareadomaincontactinfo.tpl template and change...

                {foreach key=name item=value from=$values}
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <label>{$name}</label>
                        <input type="text" name="contactdetails[{$contactdetail}][{$name}]" value="{$value}" class="form-control {$contactdetail}customwhois" />
                    </div>
                {/foreach}

to...

                {foreach key=name item=value from=$values}
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <label>{$name}</label>
                        <input type="text" name="contactdetails[{$contactdetail}][{$name}]" value="{$value}" class="form-control {$contactdetail}customwhois" {if $name eq "Country"} readonly{/if}/>
                    </div>
                {/foreach}

this would make the "Country" form field read-only and the client cannot edit it.

if you want to disable multiple form fields, you can use a list...

<input type="text" name="contactdetails[{$contactdetail}][{$name}]" value="{$value}" class="form-control {$contactdetail}customwhois" {if $name|in_array:['Phone Number','Country']} readonly{/if}/>

the above would disable both Phone Number and Country from being edited by the client.

Hi,brian!

thanks for it,your codes are used for readonly,and i hope hide it.

i try to change your "readonly" to "style="display:none;""

the text field is hidden,but the field name is still shown,

can i also hide the field name ?

thanks

the reason why I made them readonly was to ensure that all the domain contact information was still sent to the registrar as it expected... once you start removing/hiding fields, then there is the potential to cause issues, e.g if you were to remove a registrar required field.

but let me show you two quick ways... first by removing them entirely from the page, and then hiding them...

                {foreach key=name item=value from=$values}
		{if !$name|in_array:['Phone Number','Country']}
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <label>{$name}</label>
                        <input type="text" name="contactdetails[{$contactdetail}][{$name}]" value="{$value}" class="form-control {$contactdetail}customwhois" />
                    </div>
		{/if}
                {/foreach}

so the above code will totally remove the "Phone Number" and "Country" fields from the form...

if you want to just hide them, then the code gets more involved...

                {foreach key=name item=value from=$values}
                    <div class="form-group">
                        {if !$name|in_array:['Phone','Country']}<label>{$name}</label>{/if}
                        <input type="{if $name|in_array:['Phone','Country']}hidden{else}text{/if}" name="contactdetails[{$contactdetail}][{$name}]" value="{$value}" class="form-control {$contactdetail}customwhois" />
                    </div>
                {/foreach}

again, this removes those two fields from the output, but they are still there as hidden fields.

untested with real domain contact info data, but it should work.

Hi,brian!

thanks for your reply,i follow your first part and add the following part,i replace Phone Number  and Country as other field names,

but the domain contact parts are all gone.

{if !$name|in_array:['Phone Number','Country']}

 

is it possible i make some mistake ?

 

thanks

[brian!]

what exactly did you change it to?

[rugg]

Hi,brian!

i modify the file clientareadomaincontactinfo.tpl as the following,

is it correct ?

 

 

thanks lot.

 

 

<h3>{$LANG.domaincontactinfo}</h3>

{include file="$template/includes/alert.tpl" type="info" msg=$LANG.whoisContactWarning}

{if $successful}
    {include file="$template/includes/alert.tpl" type="success" msg=$LANG.changessavedsuccessfully textcenter=true}
{/if}

{if $error}
    {include file="$template/includes/alert.tpl" type="error" msg=$error textcenter=true}
{/if}

<form method="post" action="{$smarty.server.PHP_SELF}?action=domaincontacts">

    <input type="hidden" name="sub" value="save" />
    <input type="hidden" name="domainid" value="{$domainid}" />

    <div class="row">

        {foreach from=$contactdetails name=contactdetails key=contactdetail item=values}

            <div class="col-md-6">

                <h4>{$contactdetail} {$LANG.supportticketscontact}</h4>
                {foreach key=name item=value from=$values}
				{if !$name|in_array:['Phone Number','Country']}
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <label>{$name}</label>
                        <input type="text" name="contactdetails[{$contactdetail}][{$name}]" value="{$value}" class="form-control {$contactdetail}customwhois" />
                    </div>
                {/foreach}

            </div>

        {/foreach}

    </div>

    <br />

    <p class="text-center">
        <input type="submit" value="{$LANG.clientareasavechanges}" class="btn btn-primary" />
        <input type="reset" value="{$LANG.clientareacancel}" class="btn btn-default" />
    </p>

</form>

 

[brian!]

you've missed out a closing {/if} from the foreach loop...

                {foreach key=name item=value from=$values}
		{if !$name|in_array:['Phone Number','Country']}
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <label>{$name}</label>
                        <input type="text" name="contactdetails[{$contactdetail}][{$name}]" value="{$value}" class="form-control {$contactdetail}customwhois" />
                    </div>
		{/if}
                {/foreach}

Hi,brian!

really thanks for your help again.

thanks alot.

as @brian! mentioned, removing one or more fields entirely may/will cause errors if you submit these the form missing the required fields, if you need to hide it completely use a simple CSS class as follow:

{foreach key=name item=value from=$values}
		
                    <div class="form-group{if $name|in_array:['Phone Number','Country']} hidden{/if}">
                        <label>{$name}</label>
                        <input type="text" name="contactdetails[{$contactdetail}][{$name}]" value="{$value}" class="form-control {$contactdetail}customwhois" />
                    </div>
                {/foreach}

this will hide the specified fields completely while they remain exists so no errors should occur from it

which registrar are you using ?? when I tried it with Nominet or OpenSRS, the form fields always use English, no matter what the language setting in WHMCS is.

it might also be helpful to post screenshots of the field names in multiple languages - if they're using language strings accessible by WHMCS, it should be a simple fix... otherwise, you may well need to add the field name in each available language.
