Change "Home" URL

[StarburstHost]

I moved my installation to a sub-directory with it own sub-name now.

I need to change the "Home" URL from the default /index.php to https://starbursthsoting.com

Looked at: https://developers.whmcs.com/themes/navigation/
But am confused, on what to call the file and where to save it.

If someone could double check, I think I have it correct below:

 

<?php

use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem;

add_hook('ClientAreaPrimaryNavbar', 1, function (MenuItem $primaryNavbar)
{
    $navItem = $primaryNavbar->getChild('Home');
    if (is_null($navItem)) {
        return;
    }

    $navItem->setUri('https://starbursthosting.com');

});

Setup > General Settings > General. Change Domain and WHMCS System URL accordingly.

Tried that. 😕

Domain is set to https://starbursthosting.com

WHMCS System URL is set to https://portal.starbursthosting.com

But Home still takes you to https://portal.starbursthosting.com/index.php

I read the question more as he wants to redirect the home button to the parent site without the included index.php - changing the system URL from the existing subdomain URL where WHMCS is now hosted wouldn't do that and would probably stop WHMCS from working.

it needs to be a .php file in the /includes/hooks directory - you could call it "navbar_home.php" and then paste the above code into it and save.

it's not the way I would do it, but it would work.

one thing worth mentioning is that when a user is logged in, that "home" button in the portal would redirect to clientarea.php (e.g the client area home page) - but with this hook, everyone (logged in or not) will have this button redirecting to the main home page.

that may or may not be a good thing for your situation (though might leave the user no obvious way to get to their portal home), so you might have to consider only redirecting the home button to your domain if the client is not logged in.

Thanks Brian,

How would I do it just or non-clients, like you mentioned in the last paragraph?

Tried the below, and had placed in /includes/hooks
But didn't work either.

<?php

add_hook('Primary_Navbar-Home', 1, function (MenuItem $primaryNavbar)
{
    $navItem = $primaryNavbar->getChild('Home');
    if (is_null($navItem)) {
        return;
    }

    $navItem->setUri('https://starbursthosting.com');

});

Thank You very much for your help.

Just uploaded and is working. 🙂

thank you this thread helped me out too.

however i noticed that when a logged in user logs out, it takes the client to the whmcs home page still.

so, what code can i use to have the client go to the parent site in such a case aswell?

Remove is_null($client) from code. Leave the other.
