General Help on Custom Script?

[andyf]

Hi everyone,

 

Not touched PHP for ages and haven't really understood the smarty variables but could someone point me in the right direction?

 

I have created a bare page using the code in the WHMCS KB. Now I want to add some php code to the tpl file (i think) and create a interface for administration purposes.

 

I am basically creating a download area whose files are specific to that client. SO I want to do the following:

 

1. Client logs into WHMCS Client ARea.

2. Clicks on Downloads Center Link (No problem with this)

3. Downloads appear in a list from mysql db that is already setup

 

I have been trying to use {php} and {/php} but just keep getting blank pages.

 

Is there a easy way of doing this or if someone could point me to a general tutorial or advice on how to add php within whmcs.

 

I copied the php code to a php file and called it and it works direct to the file but I want to try to integrate it with the WHCMs Client Area.

 

Thanks for any general advice

 

Cheers

Andy

When I have problems with smarty conflicts in my code I just wrap the code in {literal} code {/leteral}

 

Works most of the time.

 

Here is an ebook on smarty that might help.

Hope that helps.
