how to add client custom fields

[nickwilliams999]

Hi,

I am using whmcs-js for node and I have setup the add client method as described in the whmcs documentation. This is working as expected, however, it is not working when i have added the custom field option. I cant understand how to associate the data being passed here into the custom field created in whmcs...

 

Btoa converts it to base64 and json.stringify to a string.

This is the code:

    const custommoduledata = JSON.stringify(req.body.selected)

    // Call the getClients call and store the data in the variable called 
    addClient
        .addClient({
            firstname: req.body.firstname,
            lastname: req.body.lastname,
            email: req.body.email,
            address1: req.body.Address1,
            address2: req.body.Address2,
            city: req.body.City,
            state: req.body.State,
            postcode: req.body.Postcode,
            country: req.body.Country,
            phonenumber: req.body.Phone,
            customfields: btoa(custommoduledata),
            notes: 'test',
            language: 'english',
            skipvalidation: true
        })

There is one custom field in whmcs called: MODULE in which I would like this items to go.

 

Any help appreciated

Just an update, I am trying this but it is still not working...

 

 var testcustomfield = new Array("Saab", "Volvo", "BMW");
  const testcustomfieldserial = JSON.stringify(testcustomfield)

addClient
    .addClient({

      customfields: btoa(testcustomfieldserial),

    })

I have tried an associative array, still no luck! Any help is really appreciated!

  const testcustomfield = { "1": "Saab", "1": "Volvo" };

  const testcustomfieldserial = JSON.stringify(testcustomfield);

 

addClient

    .addClient({

      customfields: btoa(testcustomfieldserial)

      

    })

Hi,

I just wanted to post that I have figured out the answer to this for anyone who has this issue in the future...

I think what this came down to is that JSON.stringify and btoa was sending something different than what WHMCS was expecting. With this in ming i replaced these functions with:

http://locutus.io/php/url/base64_encode/ and http://locutus.io/php/var/serialize/ 

const module = {
// 47 is the ID in tblcustomfields for the customfield
// data[0] is the data passed to the page
    47: data[0]
  }

  // Serialize
  const moduleserial = serialize(module);

addClient
    .addClient({
      customfields: base64_encode(moduleserial)
    })

Enjoy 🙂
