tpl involved in pay process

[Remitur]

Hello.

I'm encountering difficulties in understanding what are the .tpl files involved in credit card payment process.

The issue is this:

• I'm currently using a custom theme, six-based (not yet a child, that is a new thing: an old theme, customized few years ago, and updated on the way as needed)
• enabiling a new credit card payment process (Stripe), I'm getting in client area  (i.e. in example.com/index.php/invoice/12345/pay ), using Six or my custom theme I'm getting two quite different forms (see screenshots)
• particularly, in my custom theme the user is asked for two unusual (and unuseful) credit card fields  ("start date" and "Issue number"), that are quite confusing and I would like to remove

It should not be a great job, but looking into involved .tpl files is a mess, and I can't understand what are the files involved...

I.e.,  I understand that:

• /payment/card/inputs.tpl and /payment/card/validate.tpl are (or may be) involved, but they're exactly the same both in Six and in my custom theme
• /clientareacreditcard.tpl may be involved, but I'm confused because the clientareacreditcard.tpl in six is an empty file (while in my custom theme it is not empty), but looking into  WHMCS changelog I found anything about "when" and "why" this file was removed ( https://docs.whmcs.com/Changed_Template_Files is available just until 5.2.3  ... seven years ago...)

I did few grep in order to find where the involved language variables were used, but found nothing useful about...

 So: any idea about what is the .tpl file I need to check and edit?!

in setup -> general settings -> invoices, is the Issue Number / Start Date checkbox ticked? if so, untick it and that should remove it from the newer WHMCS version.

it was with v7.8 that the template got emptied - https://docs.whmcs.com/Version_7.8.0_Release_Notes#Multiple_Credit_Card_and_Bank_Account_Pay_Methods

do you have the account-paymentmethods templates in your old theme?

Nice shot!

Thank you!

(The mistery about the fact that no one set that checkbox in the past in production environment, so I guess that it was so by default; while test environment, re-installed a couple of months ago, has it unchecked ... so I guess that somwhen  WHMCS decided to change the default state for this checkbox...)

And no words about "where" this checkbox has been hidden...  😕

Yes I have... why this question? Should I need to know anything about them that I currently don't know?

(I'm planning to change my current custom theme, derivated by a Thememetro theme, to a child.. hoping this will help with future updates, that currently are reallya  pain in the ass...)
