Ask for different domain fields if order is a transfer

[DennisHermannsen]

Is it possible to have WHMCS output certain additional domain fields if an order is a transfer of a domain? Some domains doesn't require the same fields for transferring, so we want to hide these. Other domains require information on registration that transfers doesn't.

not natively, by default in v7.7+, they're now all shown to both...

now the long battle begins to get the option to only show these fields in registrations or transfers, not both...

i'd be surprised if this was fixed in v7.8, so you're probably looking at v8 at the earliest.

practically, you could probably use a ClientAreaPageCart hook, run it on configuredomains only, and then manipulate the fields subarray within $domains based on whether the current domain is a transfer or registration... but the $domains array doesn't store if it's a transfer or not - though if you need EPP for all transfers then you could get away with using that value... otherwise you may need to look at the session array.

Jesus Christ... Well, thanks @brian!

I can't wrap my head around why the additional domain fields has been implemented in such a bad way 😄

A workaround does exist.

There's a module by Resellerclub-mods ( L.C.D.Registrar Module  - https://www.resellerclub-mods.com/whmcs/logicboxes-registrar-module.php ) which does a lot of things ... if you use Resellerclub for domain registering.

In the bulk of functions available, there's also a "TLDs which requires Additional Infos for Transfer" which makes the magic... for any TLD you set, even if it's managed by a different Registrar.

Rather annoying install this module just to get this function, but it works fine.
