Custom page links when using a provisioning module with a Product Addon

[websavers]

Curious to see if anyone else has tried using the new provisioning module capabilities associated with a product addon (not a product).

The standard provisioning actions like create/terminate are working just fine. But I'm trying to create a button that opens a custom page with a custom page template and I can't seem to get the code right -- it always just loads the product's page rather than my custom page. Here's the relevant code:

function module_domainreports(array $params){
  return array(
    'pagetitle' => 'Domain Reports',
    'templatefile' => 'domainreports',
    'vars' => array(
        'test1' => 'hello',
        'test2' => 'world',
    ),
  );
}

function module_ClientAreaAllowedFunctions() {
	return array(
    "Domain Reports" => "domainreports",
  );
}

function module_ClientArea(array $params) {
  return '
  <form method="get" action="clientarea.php">
    <input type="hidden" name="action" value="productdetails" />
    <input type="hidden" name="id" value="' . $params['serviceid'] . '" />
    <input type="hidden" name="modop" value="custom" />
    <input type="hidden" name="a" value="domainreports" />
    <button type="submit">View Reports</button>
  </form>';
}

I do have a domainreports.tpl file in my module dir. It's got a single line of text in it.

Am I simply doing it wrong?

Hi, 

 

In the client area, if you need to show a custom templates depending on the area where you are, you'll need to return an array with the new tamplates files.

 

EX : 

function module_ClientArea(array $params) {

	// Get the template file, the $_REQUEST can be set in your default template to change sections
	$Template_Area = isset($_REQUEST['template_area']) ? $_REQUEST['template_area'] : '';

	// Select the templates files depending on the requested area
	if ($Template_Area == 'cool_place') {
		$Template_File = 'templates/cool_place.tpl';
	} else {
		$Template_File = 'templates/overview.tpl';
	}

    // Return the template file to be used when loading the client area. 
    return array('tabOverviewReplacementTemplate' => $Template_File);
}

 

In your default template (the one called "overview.tpl" in this example) you just need to place a simple button this switch from one area to the other :

<form method="post" action="clientarea.php?action=productdetails">
  <input type="hidden" name="id" value="{$serviceid}" />
  <input type="hidden" name="template_area" value="cool_place" />
  <button class="btn btn-default">
  	{$LANG.module.Go_To_Cool_Place_Button}
  </button>
</form>

 

You can find an example on the WHMCS github provision module code example.

 

Hope this help!

And this has worked for you when using a server module attached to a product addon?

I ask because I'm doing it in this manner now and it only ever redirects me to the productdetails page without loading my custom template. I suspect that since the addon doesn't represent the entire product, it doesn't have the capability to override the template.
