Smarty: if product is active?

[J-B]

Hello, 

I wrote a module that gets information about an API by curl.  But i have no check is a product active or not.

When a customer click to this cancel services (clientarea.php?action=productdetails&id=XXX), the customer get a lot of errors. That is right, why the user dont exist anymore.

 But how I can check in smarty if a product is active and then get the data?

Something like:

{ if product == active }

$data

{else}

You canceled your product.

{/if}

in Smarty and on the product details page? if you wanted to check if the current service was active, then {if $status == "Active"} should work...

Not work. It is still trying to get the api data.

[brian!]

any reason for wanting to do this in Smarty? I mean can the module not check the database, either capsule query, class method or API, to get the status of the service ??

Status == active seems to be if a user is active but not if a product is active.

I thought that would be the easiest way.

Any idea how to make the check in the 

function cloudxl_ClientArea(array $params)
{

I believe the product/service status is included in $params array.

Just where? I haven't found it yet.

In the server module's _Clientarea() function, status is in $params['status'].  For example:

if ($params['status'] == "Cancelled")
        {
            $Cancel = Capsule::table('tblcancelrequests')->where('relid', '=', $params['serviceid'])->first();
            if ($Cancel)
                $Reason = $Cancel->reason;
            else
                $Reason = "Reason not provided";

            return array(
                'tabOverviewReplacementTemplate' => "templates/fatal_error",
                'vars' =>  array('message'=>"Service has been cancelled with the following reason:<br><br>$Reason"
                   )
            );
        }

Then in templates/fatal_error, have:

<div class="alert alert-danger">Error: {$message}</div>

(templates is relative to the server module's directory)

For template it self, within the server module template at least, you would use:{if $status eq "Cancelled"}  but that isn't needed if you use the above within the server module.
