invoices widget

[TheHostingHeroes]

HI

how can I add a admin homepage widget to show number of overdue invoices? prior to v8 it would show overdue invoices in the header and now this has been removed.

Over the years, most changes have been great... some, like the default hiding "Inactive" clients from the search have left me annoyed and scratching my head....  But removing the numbers so we could easily see in one place if things needs attention... Is the dumbest thing WHMCS has ever done.  

Whoever came up with this one, should be worried about their job.

If you want to add it back for now use the code from the V7 template for it:

<div class="stats">
            <a href="orders.php?status=Pending">
                <span class="stat">{$sidebarstats.orders.pending}</span>
                {$_ADMINLANG.stats.pendingorders}
            </a> |
            <a href="invoices.php?status=Overdue">
                <span class="stat">{$sidebarstats.invoices.overdue}</span>
                {$_ADMINLANG.stats.overdueinvoices}
            </a> |
            <a href="supporttickets.php">
                <span class="stat">{$sidebarstats.tickets.awaitingreply}</span>
                {$_ADMINLANG.stats.ticketsawaitingreply}
            </a>
</div>

The best file to edit for it is whmcs/admin/templates/blend/homepage.tpl for now and add it after: {$infobox}
That will display it just below the words Dashboard, in the main page.  I know its a workaround but it will do until something more permanent is discussed.

Unfortunately this will not save the step to go back to the dashboard.  😞

I don't think the stats class exists in v8 - so you'd either have to declare it (if you wanted the output to look like v7), or use inline CSS.

who in the right mind at WHMCS thought its a good idea to hide the overdue invoices in a billing system from the homepage!

There's a good opportunity for a 3rd party admin template developer here now

Lara already does it - search is available without clicking, and the three stat amounts shown as icons..

... and also in the menu...

I could make Blend show the icons like that in the top menu, it's just a case of trying to think of a light way to adjust the menu without the need to create a custom theme, require too much coding or break after an update.

Haven't updated to V8 yet but just wanted to post that removing the overdue invoices stat from the top bar is stupid. If you're going to remove such useful details, at least provide us with a toggle to turn it back on.

Agreed, this should not have been removed. Was very convenient to have it there.

Hopefully someone from WHMCS will reply to this and confirm if they’ll reintroduce this.

i've posted the hook for the admin info bar in the thread below - should work on both v8.0.0 and v8.0.1 🙂
