Append Text to Hostname

[JustScott]

Hi,

We want to append a string,  'xyz.com', to the server. hostname value in our order form.

So if customers enters 'bill', it will be saved as 'bill.xyz.com'

I've tried just appending and cat, but this doesn't save it to the database.

Can anyone provide a clue as to the best way to do this?

I'm pretty new to both WHMCS and Smarty.

Thanks in advance,

Scott

<tr><td class="fieldlabel">{$LANG.serverhostname}:</td><td class="fieldarea"><input type="text" name="hostname" size="15" value="{$server.hostname}" /> {$LANG.serverhostnameexample}</td></tr>

I would have thought JS would be a better option than Smarty for something like this.

Can you elaborate?

I'm not sure how js could be used for this.

by using the Continue button to inject the additional text into the form field and then submit that updated value...

Brian suggested a good  workaround. Have you tried appending xyz.com to `value="{$server.hostname}"` ?

value="{$server.hostname}.xyz.com"

that would rely on the user adding their hostname before it (as it would be shown in the field) and/or not removing it - if they remove it, then the additional text won't be added on submission.

Thanks! I got this working using js.

Much appreciated
