ClientAreaDomainDetailsOutput ....

[Remitur]

The sample code in doc about ClientAreaDomainDetailsOutput ( https://developers.whmcs.com/hooks-reference/output/#clientareadomaindetailsoutput ) seems to wrong:

<?php

add_hook('ClientAreaDomainDetailsOutput', 1, function($domain) {
    $domainName = $domain->domain;
    $clientModel = $domain->client;
    $domainStatus = $domain->status;
    $clientName = $clientModel->firstName . ' ' . $clientModel->lastName;
    return 'You can place any HTML here that will be output in the $hookOutput smarty variable array';
});

$domain is an object, not an array, and so $domainName in sample code is null ...

I could convert the object in array and then parsing it, but I guess there should be a smarter way (that I don't know because I hate objects ... 😄 )

Any smart idea to retrieve domain data?

Shockingly (lol) the docs are slightly wrong.  The $domain is an array, that is holding a "domain" item that is then the Domain object.  So it should be:

<?php

add_hook('ClientAreaDomainDetailsOutput', 1, function($domain) {
    //passed $domain might be object or might be array, lets test  
  if (is_array($domain))
      $domain = $domain['domain']; // Replace domain array with domain object
  
    $domainName = $domain->domain;
    $clientModel = $domain->client;
    $domainStatus = $domain->status;
    $clientName = $clientModel->firstName . ' ' . $clientModel->lastName;
    return 'You can place any HTML here that will be output in the $hookOutput smarty variable array';
});

Would have been quite surprised if it was indeed a domain object but maybe that is in a later version than my dev is at right now. 

Also, objects are great and embrace them you will.  😉

Whenever you are questioning what WHMCS is giving you, just do:

logActivity("What is this junk: ".print_r($the_thing,true));

or

logModuleCall("hook-hookname", 'I-did-it', "I asked for this and got", "only this short message", $processedData, $replaceVars);
