Hide date range in invoice emails - on new domain name orders

[cluster]

Would it be possible to hide date range in invoice emails (only for new domain orders)?
By default "Expiry Date" should be empty if a NEW domain name order is received e.g.
00/00/0000

Following hook removes the date range for all invoices ... I just want to remove the date for "Domain name" items and only when the "Expiry Date" is 00/00/0000.
https://github.com/Katamaze/WHMCS-Action-Hook-Factory/blob/master/hooks/noDatesInInvoiceItemsDescription.php

It doesn't work with the Smarty email templates, so, I’d like to apply a similar condition into this hook ... any idea?

{if $domain_expiry_date eq "00/00/0000"}

If I extend the condition w/ "type" -> DomainRegister ...  that should work, but it doesn't ... (no preg_replace).

e.g.

$ptype = "DomainRegister";
$items = Capsule::table('tblinvoiceitems')->select('id', 'type', 'description')->where('type', $ptype)->where('invoiceid', '=', $vars['invoiceid'])->get();

or

$ptype = "DomainRegister";
$items = Capsule::table('tblinvoiceitems')->select('id', 'type', 'description')->where('type', '=', $ptype)->where('invoiceid', '=', $vars['invoiceid'])->get();

did I missed something here... what am I doing wrong?

[wtools]

The perfect way to do this is, by editing you email templates itself.

Go to your admin account and from System settings list down all of the email templates by searching Email Templates.

It will take you to a page like 

domain.com/admin/configemailtemplates.php then locate the email template that was sent for the order. I f you can tell me the subject of the email, I can suggest you how to fix this.

found a working solution ...

 

I modified the hook so that it only removes date for new domain name orders (type > DomainRegister).

<?php

use WHMCS\Billing\Invoice;

add_hook('InvoiceCreation', 1, function($vars) {
	// $vars allows us to use get the specific invoice id
	$invoiceID = $vars['invoiceid'];
        $ptype = 'DomainRegister';
		
	// Get data related to the invoice. See this for documentation on models: https://docs.whmcs.com/Using_Models
	// It would also be possible to use Capsule to query the database instead of using the Invoice model. See information on database queries here: https://developers.whmcs.com/advanced/db-interaction/
	$invoiceItems = Invoice::find($invoiceID)->items->where('type', $ptype);

	$pattern = '/\(([0-3][0-9]|[0-1][0-9]|[\d]{4})(\/|\.|-)([0-1][0-9]|[0-3][0-9]|)(\/|\.|-)([\d]{4}|[0-1][0-9]|[0-3][0-9]) - ([0-3][0-9]|[0-1][0-9]|[\d]{4})(\/|\.|-)([0-1][0-9]|[0-3][0-9]|)(\/|\.|-)([\d]{4}|[0-1][0-9]|[0-3][0-9])\)/';

	foreach ($invoiceItems as $invoiceItem)
	{
		preg_match($pattern, $invoiceItem->description, $matches);
		$invoiceItem->description = str_replace($matches[0], '', $invoiceItem->description); // Update the description of the invoice's line item
		$invoiceItem->save(); // Save to the database
	}
    
});
