Issue assigning values to hostname, ns1 prefix and ns2 prefix input fields via URL parameters

[Ioshf.a]

Hello WHMCS community,

I need to assign values via the url parameters that come from my corporate website's order form to the input fields found in the configureproduct.tpl, in whmcs portal.

Currently, all values are carried over from my corporate site to my whmcs portal except for the input fields of hostname, ns1 prefix and ns2 prefix.

Now, I can see  through the dev tools that the fields of hostname, ns1 and ns2 have their values assigned in the url parameters as the rest of the values that are carried over that refer to configoption ids:

From my corporate site:

 

the url parameters sent to WHMCS portal:

In addition, I customized the hostname input field to have a value auto-assigned based on $smarty.now|date_format:'%Y%m%d%H%M%S' whenever the input submitted (through the url parameter or not) to the said field is null.

My approach on this in regards to configureproduct.tpl can be seen in the following lines for the input field of hostname:

<input type="text" name="hostname" class="form-control" id="inputHostname" value="{if empty($smarty.get.hostname)}VL{$smarty.now|date_format:'%Y%m%d%H%M%S'}{else}{$smarty.get.hostname}{/if}">

Unfortunately, Smarty insists on acknowledging the URL parameters of those three input fields as null or empty. 

And thus, I get the following result in WHMCS portal:

Ι have also tried implementing these through $smarty.get.variablename, $smarty.request.variablename as well as by assigning the values  via the following script:

{assign var="hostname" value="{$smarty.get.hostname}"}

{assign var="ns1prefix" value="{$smarty.get.ns1prefix}"}

{assign var="ns2prefix" value="{$smarty.get.ns2prefix}"}

Any aid you can provide on this will be much appreciated.

Kind regards,
