Whmcs New Custom Pages

[ShaneP]

Would anyone know if there is an excellent tutorial on creating custom new pages with how to add your content and the styling of this custom page for my web hosting ?

If anyone can point me in the right direction as I would like to be able to learn myself how to do this.

i'm not sure that it could be described as excellent, but the official docs will guide you through the basics...

https://developers.whmcs.com/advanced/creating-pages/

plus as a walkthrough, the following page might help too...

for specific help with the template styling, you may want to contact @zomex as it's his template that you're using.

Thanks Brian.

I also have a guide for creating custom pages below:

Also your template has a selection of HTML code you can use within your custom pages to easily replicate elements (such as the tables, feature boxes etc) from the template. You will find them inside WHMCS admin > addons > Wizard Panel > HTML snippets.

Hi,

 

I know about creating custom pages as above which are essentially client pages.

 

However is it possible to create a customer page that doesn't have the breadcrumb and page title within the page. I tried to edit the php file to comment out these lines bit it doesn't. Essentially I want the header and footer and nothing else apart from my code in between.

 

Any ideas.

 

Thanks

Hello Colin,

The reason why this happens is your pagetitle and breadcrumb is called in the header.tpl file.

So you can either remove the page title and breadcrumb using CSS or by wrapping the page title/breadcrumb markup in header.tpl e.g:

{if $filename neq "examplepage" or $filename neq "examplepage1"}<h1>{$pagetitle}</h1>{/if}

Thanks,

Jack

I would have thought that you could trim a custom page php file down to its absolute bare bones to remove pagetitle and breadcrumbs...

<?php
use WHMCS\ClientArea;
define('CLIENTAREA', true);
require __DIR__ . '/init.php';
$ca = new ClientArea();
$ca->initPage();
$ca->setTemplate('brian');
$ca->output();

additionally, you may have to edit the /include/pageheader.tpl template and wrap the content to check if the page contains a pagetitle...

{if $pagetitle}
<div class="header-lined">
    <h1>{$title}{if $desc} <small>{$desc}</small>{/if}</h1>
    {if $showbreadcrumb}{include file="$template/includes/breadcrumb.tpl"}{/if}
</div>
{/if}

as you can see, the above is using the default "Six" template and doesn't show any breadcrumbs... I assume this can be adapted to work with your current template, but Jack would know better than me on that.

@brian!

Your method is much better and certainly the way to go.

I would only recommend using my example method of editing the header.tpl (or pageheader.tpl depending on your template) if you want to keep the markup consistant for all custom pages.

I don't recommend using CSS unless it's a last resort as while hiding elements with CSS is easy it can have potential SEO impacts.

did you try following the Creating pages docs ?

you just need to create a .php file in the root of WHMCS and a .tpl template file in your active template folder - then it's just a case of editing the template file with your content (for which you'll need to know HTML and/or Smarty).

<?php
use WHMCS\ClientArea;
define('CLIENTAREA', true);
require __DIR__ . '/init.php';
$ca = new ClientArea();
$ca->setPageTitle('Privacy Policy');
$ca->addToBreadCrumb('index.php', Lang::trans('globalsystemname'));
$ca->addToBreadCrumb('privacy.php', 'Privacy Policy');
$ca->initPage();
$ca->setTemplate('privacy');
$ca->output();

and if you're using Flowhost, they have their own documentation about adding pages (though it's basically what i've just used above).

Hi, thanks for your reply,

• impressum.php would contain the PHP code above (that's the file that creates the page) and goes in your WHMCS directory (the same folder that contains configuration.php etc)
• impressum.tpl is the content of the page and that goes in your active template folder (e.g /templates/six).

for every custom page, you just need to create a .php file and a.tpl file - the ,tpl  file contains the content of your page and you'll probably need to know HTML to create the content.

in the case of a privacy policy, there would be many online generators that would generate the html content for you - and you can use that as a starting point for your needs.
