Hook to pre-defined country phone number on page View/Search clients

[zitu4life]

Hello there

I would like to have View/search clients page on phone number country to show always selected country rather USA first. A template edit is need or a hook can make it possible? How!

Look for to change USA country code +1 to my default country to avoid every time need to change it again.

Example:

PS: WHMCS by default will show random number like pictures above +1 201-555-0123 or +238 991 12 34 can we change those random number to +1 000-000-000  or +238 000 00 00

those random number will be displayed on add new client

 

PS: My idea is that phone number country default should be linked to setting, so if we have in SETTINGS selected country, means That country code default number should be the same as selected country in settings 🙄

thank you!

you could change references (I think there are around 5) within /blend/js/scripts,min.js of "us" to "cv" and that would default the telephone country setting in the search field to Cape Verde.

as a hook, that would probably require an admin area output hook (header or footer) - though that's not one for me to work on. 🙂

they're not random, they're predefined, along with the telephone format for that country, in blend/js/scripts/vendor.min.js - so again, could be edited in there if required.

when adding new clients, the country telephone choice should default to the default country defined in the localisation tab.

the requests already exists...

https://requests.whmcs.com/topic/phone-number-area-code-should-be-shown-by-default-country-on-view-search-clients-from-admin-panel

.... almost 3 years old, 1 vote and now archived - so even if I could post a solution hook here, I couldn't update the request to show that..... welcome to the joined-up thinking of WHMCS. 🙄

Hi @brian! thank you for pointing me on the right direction, appreciate that!

I have been able to reproduce it on blend and it works, but not work on Lara admin theme, doing the same on same Lara theme files 🤪 I do not know why it works on blend and not on Lara, I will contact Lara developer, but if you have any idea it is welcome.

I find out those pre-defined number and edited them but it do not change on WHMCS admin even in blend. For Lara theme  nothing work.

it definitely works in blend....

but if you were changing the actual format of that number, you would also need to adjust the regex for that country.

Today I find it working even on Lara theme, I guess WHMCS detects changes after automation...any way happy that it works...So now I will save my backup files changed and update my internal company process regarding WHMCS update.

Thank you @brian! 

As always appreciate your detailed help.

i've got some weird issues going on with lara... it's not showing the phone flags in the search... it's really weird as other things are not working either.... i've deleted and reinstalled, cleared cache, disabled hooks... it feels cs/js related, but i've no ideas as to the cause!

Hi @brian!

it is possible to get that phone number search placed on Header? or manipulate current WHMCS intelligent search to search for phone number too.
I have edited it using print.

intellisearch would already search for phone numbers.

no. it does not.. I tested on blend and Lara. Ops it does but I have to insert space on number🤔
if search 1234567 it will not find it
but if insert 123 45 67 it wil find it
1234567 is not same as 123 45 67

Who will remember that is mandatory to write 123 45 67 instead of 1234567  These things are not designed right..

Intelligent search should be able to detect both formats

well you have to search for either an exact match or a smaller search term - these are strings in the database, so there is a difference between searching for "hello world" and "helloworld".

if you're searching with a known phone number, then surely you just search for the smallest term possible until you see the correct result.

it's not mandatory - you're just searching for what's in the field.... you have enabled the feature that formats telephone numbers!

intellisearch scans multiple fields at the same time - to search multiple fields in multiple formats... eek.
