How to sort smarty variables in WHMCS 7.6?

[Brandonm]

The @sortby modifier is no longer working with WHMCS 7.6 and PHP 7.2. Does anyone have a way to sort existing Smarty arrays or know how to make @sortby modifier work with the latest version?

WHMCS v7.6 isn't the problem as it works fine with it - the problem is PHP 7+ and the removal of the "split" function... the simplest solution I can think of is to replace it with explode and the Smarty sortby function will then work fine in v7+ (don't have v7.2 on the dev - but would be surprised if it didn't work with it)... as explode is an old function, I assume the modified file would work in earlier versions of PHP too, but I haven't tested that... i've attached the modified file to this post.

for the benefit of others, the file would go in /vendor/smarty/smarty/libs/plugins and can be used to sort arrays in the template...  if using older versions of WHMCS (e.g v5), it would go in /includes/classes/Smarty/plugins.

it can be used in a number of ways, e.g to sort the $products array alphabetically by name on the opening cart page...

{foreach $products|@sortby:"name" as $key => $product}

modifier.sortby.php

Thanks @brian!, apparently my sortby file had a line that was causing an error. Updated with the file you posted and it's working again. Cheers!

Hi,,

if I use the modifier uploaded by @brian! I get the following error:

Error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in /vendor/smarty/smarty/libs/plugins/modifier.sortby.php(35) : runtime-created function:1

#11 /clientarea.php(0): WHMCS\ClientArea->getSingleTPLOutput('/modules/server...', Array)
#12 {main}

My foreach:
 

{foreach $instances|@sortby:nick as $instance}

The value of $instances:

Array (2)
0 => stdClass Object (11)
   ->nick = "nick1"
   ->privileges = stdClass Object (0)
1 => stdClass Object (11)
   ->nick = "nick2"
   ->privileges = stdClass Object (0)

 

Why I get this error?

Already fixed via javascript sorting.
