Recover domain price list in Smarty

[Walther]

Hello.

The API GetTLDPricing ( https://developers.whmcs.com/api-reference/gettldpricing/ )   gives as response an array with all available prices for every available extension domain; and this array may be available in Smarty, getting in Smarty something like:

$tldpricing2
Origin: "Smarty object"	
Value
Array (3)
result => "success"
currency => Array (6)
  id => "1"
  code => "USD"
  prefix => "$"
  suffix => " USD"
  format => "1"
  rate => "1.00000"
pricing => Array (13)
  com => Array (8)
    categories => Array (2)
      0 => "gTLD"
      1 => "Popular"
    addons => Array (3)
      dns => false
      email => false
      idprotect => false
    group => ""
    register => Array (1)
      1 => "14.95"
    transfer => Array (1)
      1 => "14.95"
    renew => Array (1)
      1 => "14.95"
    grace_period => Array (2)
      days => 30
      price => WHMCS\View\Formatter\Price Object (0)
    redemption_period => null
  net => Array (8)
    categories => Array (2)
      0 => "gTLD"
      1 => "Popular"
    addons => Array (3)
      dns => false
      email => false
      idprotect => false
    group => ""
    register => Array (1)
      1 => "14.95"
    transfer => Array (1)
      1 => "14.95"
    renew => Array (1)
      1 => "14.95"
    grace_period => Array (2)
      days => 30
      price => WHMCS\View\Formatter\Price Object (0)
    redemption_period => null

I have two different issues about this...

1 - what's the right syntax to recover, i.e.,  the registration price for a certain domain?
I tried almost every possible syntax (but obviously missed the right one...)
I defined the the extension using      

{$tld2=$tld|ltrim:'.'}

and it works, so i.e. $tld2 gives "net" ...

But if I try   $tldpricing2[pricing][$tld2] [register][1] , or using -> , or any other possible PHP/smarty syntax, I'm getting garbage instead of the desired value... 😕

So, what's the right Smarty syntax to recover that value? 

 

2 - about grace period renewal...WTF is "   WHMCS\View\Formatter\Price Object (0) " ?!
Why is it now given as any other price for registration, transfer or renew?
And how can I convert it into a number (hopely, the right one) ?

in Smarty, it would be...

{$tldpricing2.pricing.$tld2.register[1]}

to return a 1 year registration price, in the current currency.

probably because they can be more flexible to manipulate than if they were strings.

{$tldpricing2.pricing.$tld2.register[1]->toNumeric()}

What is crazy and misleading is that in the very same array you can find values as normal string (register, renew, transfer), and just redemption fee is in form of  "Price Object"...

Apart from this, thank you for your precious support!

Precisely, it's 

{$tldpricing2.pricing.$tld2.grace_period.price->toNumeric()}

(grace period price and redemption price are the only values got as Price Object; other prices,  as registration, renew and trasfer, are provided as string)

This thread gave me an idea... news will follow shortly  😉

that's mainly a legacy issue where in ye olde days, Price Objects weren't used and everything was either a string or an integer... new pricing values now tend to use the new format, so you end up with mixed arrays containing  the results of various methods.
