Change the order of appearance for addons

[Surc0uf]

Hello,

I'm trying to modifythe order of appearance of the addons on this page (cart.php?a=confproduct&i=1) under "Avalaible addons" :

1. I want weebly first, instead of SSL,
2. I want change the order inside weebly addon himself 

Under admin configaddons.php, "Addon Weighting"    doesn't change anything...

I let an image to show the problem.

I'm using Six template / standarc_cart / v7.10.0

Thanks for your help, god bless you.

I don't think MarketConnect products have ever used/obeyed the weighting values when displayed on the products configuration page - I suspect they're just being listed in the order the query finds them in the database, e.g their table ID value rather than weighing.

putting Weebly before SSL can be achieved by reverse sorting the array using a simple action hook...

the second part of re-arranging the order within the Weebly block is more tricky - I think your main options would be to manipulate the content of the array elements for your preferred output, or recreate the entire array from scratch.

i'm tempted to think that it would just be simpler to just recreate the array - and that's not a simple hook.

Thank four your answer @brian!

That's it ... 🙈

Yes, but Weebly is between SSL and Codeguard... 😫

I'm sure this is a way to achieve my need, but many clients are using theses produts, so it means I have to move addons for each clients, deletes all the addons, recreate them... 😫😫 no way...

I hope that WHMCS will improve this... UX is so important especially to get clients more confortable with usage of webhostings configuration ...

try the hook below to resort the MC addons - it's the one I quickly wrote yesterday for that screenshot and is just a reverse alphabetical sort, so Weebly should appear first, SSL second etc...

<?php

# Re-Sort MarketConnect Addons Hook v1.0
# Written by brian!

function resort_marketconnect_addons_hook($vars) {
	
	if ($vars['templatefile'] == "configureproduct") {
		$cartaddons = $vars['addonsPromoOutput'];
		arsort($cartaddons);
		return array("addonsPromoOutput" => $cartaddons);
	}
}
add_hook("ClientAreaPageCart", 1, "resort_marketconnect_addons_hook");
?>

there's no need to do anything that drastic...

someone posted on a similar topic in the v7.10 forums yesterday and I replied and linked to this thread.... because v7.10 GA has just been released, in all likelihood there will be a v7.10.1 maintenance update release before the end of this month consolidating all/most the hotfixes and bug fixes not found during the beta period.

the point being that the WHMCS will now have to decide if this is a bug or not... if they think it's a bug, then they could hotfix it quickly or include it in the maintenance release... for them to solve it internally would only require a few lines of code... equally, they could say that it's not a bug and that they want to determine the order in which options within these addons are shown.

it's now a waiting game to see what they say in that other thread...

it would be far easier for them to "fix" this themselves, but if they don't think it's an issue (and it has been around for a long while), then it can be fixed externally - I know how it could be done (either a quicker external fix to address your very specific issue or a more thorough generic solution) - but there's no point in me thinking about spending time on that solution until WHMCS publicly decide whether they think this is an issue or not.
