Change order/position of sidebar

[Brad (SaneChoice Limited)]

Hi Community,

We have some sidebars in WHMCS but I want to change the order of them.

As you can see from the screenshot, Your Recent Tickets is above Support.  How do I move Support to the top?

I have had a look at the documentation from WHMCS and not quite sure I can find how to easily achieve this. 

Thanks in advance.

Hello @sanechoice

The following should get you started with your customisations.

Create a .php file with a descriptive name then include the following content:

<?php

if (!defined("WHMCS"))
    die("This file cannot be accessed directly");

use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem;

add_hook('ClientAreaSecondarySidebar', 1, function(MenuItem $secondarySidebar)
{
    $secondarySidebar->getChild('Recent Tickets')
       ->setOrder(100);
});

 

Once completed then place this .php file in your WHMCS includes/hooks directory.

For your reference https://docs.whmcs.com/Client_Area_Sidebars_Cheatsheet#Re-arranging_Sidebar_Items

The main difference here is that you are working with a Secondary Sidebar item.

I hope this gives you a good starting point to your customisations.

Thanks for all your help @WHMCS Stephen.

Sadly, I only managed to cause a Whoops! error by uploading the file! 

Ill have to keep playing around but my brilliance in this area is somewhat lacking!

Hello @sanechoice

Let's look to a different approach to this:

 

<?php

if (!defined("WHMCS"))
   die("This file cannot be accessed directly");


use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem;

add_hook('ClientAreaSecondarySidebar', 1, function (MenuItem $secondarySidebar)
{   
	if (!is_null($secondarySidebar->getChild('Recent Tickets'))) {
        $secondarySidebar->getChild('Recent Tickets')
        ->setOrder(100);
    }
});

 

This appears to work as expected from my view.
