Removing cancelled/terminated services from "Related Service" on ticket form

[Daniel]

Hey guys,

Is anyone aware of a way to remove the cancelled/terminated services from the related services dropdown menu of step 2 of the submit ticket page?

Some of our clients have a lot of terminated or cancelled services that they don't want listed and I can't see a way to remove those.

 

Thanks

the usual two ways would be to either edit the supportticketsibmit-steptwo.tpl template, or use an action hook...

to edit the template, you could just put an if statement in the foreach loop that generates the relatedservices dropdown content, e.g change...

{foreach from=$relatedservices item=relatedservice}
	<option value="{$relatedservice.id}">{$relatedservice.name} ({$relatedservice.status})</option>
{/foreach}

to...

{foreach from=$relatedservices item=relatedservice}
	{if !in_array($relatedservice.status,array('Cancelled','Terminated'))}
		<option value="{$relatedservice.id}">{$relatedservice.name} ({$relatedservice.status})</option>
	{/if}
{/foreach}

if you want to avoid editing the template, then you could use a hook to modify the array and remove the cancelled/terminated services...

<?php

# Filter & Sort Ticket Related Services Hook
# Written by brian!

function filter_related_services_hook($vars){
	
	if ($vars['templatefile']=='supportticketsubmit-steptwo'){
		$relatedservices = $vars['relatedservices'];
		$cancelled = array('Cancelled','Terminated');
		foreach($relatedservices as $key => $service) {
			if (in_array($service['status'],$cancelled)) {
				unset($relatedservices[$key]);
			}
		}
		array_multisort(array_column($relatedservices, 'status'), SORT_ASC, array_column($relatedservices, 'name'), SORT_ASC, $relatedservices);
		return array("relatedservices" => $relatedservices);
	}
}
add_hook("ClientAreaPageSubmitTicket", 1, "filter_related_services_hook");

i've also added sort functionality to the hook that will sort the array by status (e.g Active services will be first), and then sorted by name... if you don't want/need this, then just remove the array_multisort line.

that sorting idea is from another step2 hook that I posted in the thread below - no point letting it go to waste if you want to use the feature!

Thanks so much Brian!

 

That hook is exactly what I was looking for and works perfectly.
