create a new variable???

[Tony Reynolds]

I would like to assign a value from a custom product field to a variable.

 

I have modified the clientareaproductdetails.tpl to conditioinally display some custom product fields.

 

If the customer has purchased a autoreponder membership and or shoppingcart membership thier UN and PW along with a link to the login area for the autoreponder will be posted.

 

This all works suprisingly well:lol:

 

{if $customfields}
<br />
<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" class="frame"><tr><td>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="2">
{foreach key=num item=customfield from=$customfields}

<tr><td width="200" class="fieldarea">{$customfield.name}</td><td>{$customfield.value}</td></tr>

{if $customfield.name eq "Cart On" and $customfield.value eq "Yes" and $domain.value ne ""}<tr><td width="200" class="fieldarea">Cart Login</td>
<td><a target="_blank" <a href="http://{$domain}/admin">Here</a>{else}</td>{/if}</tr>

{if $customfield.name eq "Autoresponder On" and $customfield.value eq "Yes"}<tr><td width="200" class="fieldarea">Autoresponder Login</td><td> <a target="_blank" <a href="http://www.fitlistpro.com/ea/">Here</a>{else}</td></tr>{/if}

{/foreach}
</table>
</td></tr></table>

{/if}

 

 

Now I am trying to pass the UN and PW through the link so it will automatically sign them into the autoresponder. I think to do this I will need to put thier un and pw into a variable as it does its foreach-next through the list of custom fields. I will then place the variable into the hyperlink.

 

For some reason, i cannot seem to create a new variable.

Just to try decairing a simple variable I have tried placing $psword="" and {$psword=""} into the above code block and with both my client area products detail page goes blank.

 

So...it seems my problem is how to "declare" a new variable to be assigned the value of these custom fields.

 

Any feedback/thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I mistyped...

 

when I tried $psword="" it literally displayed "$psword=""" over and over on my clients product details page for each loop it made.

 

When i tried {$psword=""} my page would not display at all.

Hello:

 

{php}

$a = $this->get_template_vars('customfield');

//do whatever you need with the array

$this->assign('newvariablename','variablevalue');

{/php}

<i>{newvariablename}</i>

 

 

Hows this?????

[Tony Reynolds]

Thanks Andrew. I think i will need some more guidance with this if you can.

 

Would this be what my code would look like that i would insert in the loop:

 

uname would be the new variable

and Autoresponder Username would be the name of the custom field

 

{if $customfield.name eq "Autoresponder Username" }

{php}
$a = $this->get_template_vars('customfield');
$this->assign('uname','variablevalue');
{/php}
<i>{uname}</i>
{/if}

[WHMCS Andrew]

yeah - that should work.

 

remember $a will now have all the customfield values in it.

 

so $a.name in the PHP code used to be $customfield.name

[Tony Reynolds]

Andrew,

would it be possible for me to add this in and have you look at the finished product?

Thanks again.

Tony

[WHMCS Andrew]

Sure :)

[Tony Reynolds]

How is this?

 

{if $customfields}
<br />
<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" class="frame"><tr><td>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="2">
{foreach key=num item=customfield from=$customfields}

<tr><td width="200" class="fieldarea">{$customfield.name}</td><td>{$customfield.value}</td></tr>


{if $customfield.name eq "Cart On" and $customfield.value eq "Yes" and $domain.value ne ""}<tr><td width="200" class="fieldarea">Cart Login</td>
<td><a target="_blank" <a href="http://{$domain}/admin">Here</a>{else}</td>{/if}</tr>

{if $customfield.name eq "Autoresponder User Name"}
{php}
$a = $this->get_template_vars('customfield');
$this->assign('uname','variablevalue');
{/php}
<i>{uname}</i>
{/if}

{if $customfield.name eq "Cart/Autoresponder Password"}
{php}
$a = $this->get_template_vars('customfield');
$this->assign('pword','variablevalue');
{/php}
<i>{pword}</i>
{/if}

{if $customfield.name eq "Autoresponder On" and $customfield.value eq "Yes"}<tr><td width="200" class="fieldarea">Autoresponder Login</td><td> <a target="_blank" <a href="http://www.fitlistpro.com/ea/index.php?action=login&username={$uname}&password={$pword}">Here</a>{else}</td></tr>{/if}


{if $customfield.name eq "Autoresponder On" and $customfield.value eq "Yes"}<tr><td width="200" class="fieldarea">Autoresponder Login</td><td> <a target="_blank" <a href="http://www.fitlistpro.com/ea/">Here</a>{else}</td></tr>{/if}

{/foreach}
</table>
</td></tr></table>

{/if}

Good, but you don't need to grab the variable if you're not gonna use it.. just put that in as an example:

 

{if $customfields}
<br />
<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" class="frame"><tr><td>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="2">
{foreach key=num item=customfield from=$customfields}

<tr><td width="200" class="fieldarea">{$customfield.name}</td><td>{$customfield.value}</td></tr>


{if $customfield.name eq "Cart On" and $customfield.value eq "Yes" and $domain.value ne ""}<tr><td width="200" class="fieldarea">Cart Login</td>
<td><a target="_blank" <a href="http://{$domain}/admin">Here</a>{else}</td>{/if}</tr>

{if $customfield.name eq "Autoresponder User Name"}
{php}
$this->assign('uname','variablevalue');
{/php}
<i>{uname}</i>
{/if}

{if $customfield.name eq "Cart/Autoresponder Password"}
{php}
$this->assign('pword','variablevalue');
{/php}
<i>{pword}</i>
{/if}

{if $customfield.name eq "Autoresponder On" and $customfield.value eq "Yes"}<tr><td width="200" class="fieldarea">Autoresponder Login</td><td> <a target="_blank" <a href="http://www.fitlistpro.com/ea/index.php?action=login&username={$uname}&password={$pword}">Here</a>{else}</td></tr>{/if}


{if $customfield.name eq "Autoresponder On" and $customfield.value eq "Yes"}<tr><td width="200" class="fieldarea">Autoresponder Login</td><td> <a target="_blank" <a href="http://www.fitlistpro.com/ea/">Here</a>{else}</td></tr>{/if}

{/foreach}
</table>
</td></tr></table>

{/if}

Thanks so much Andrew.

 

My knowledge of php is about nill. It took me 3 weeks and multiple hours of trial and errror to figure out what I had previously. I never would have figured this part out!!

 

Your help has been absolutely great.

Tony

[WHMCS Andrew]

glad I could help

[Tony Reynolds]

Andrew,

I added the code and now my client products detail page will not display again.

 

I have attached the modified clientareproductdetail.tpl. (turned to .txt file).

 

I added ******************* to the code so you could quickly find the code.

Thanks again.

Tony

clientareaproductdetails.txt

Hi tony,

 

add:

 

$display_errors="on";

 

to you configuration.php file and see what errors come up,

[Tony Reynolds]

Andrew,

I got this:

 

Fatal error: Smarty error: [in portal/clientareaproductdetails.tpl line 120]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'uname' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 583) in /home/pssathle/public_html/clients/libs/Smarty.class.php on line 1095

[WHMCS Andrew]

me being blind there..

 

{uname} should be {$uname}

{pword} should be {$pword}

[Tony Reynolds]

The page is now displaying!!!

 

However, I am seeing this displayed at the top of this custom field display area:

 

variablevalue

variablevalue

 

Just the text "variablevalue" displayed twice

[WHMCS Andrew]

you should replace the 'variablevalue' with whatever you need to display.

 

Is it part of the custom field? or does it come from somewhere else

[Tony Reynolds]

I have a custom field called "Autoresponder User Name" that holds the username. It is this username that I want to go into variable uname.

 

I just changed it to this and the text no longer appears.

$this->assign('uname',$customfield);

 

I thought this should read:

$this->assign('uname',$customfield.value);

 

but the .value would then display at the top of the custom fields area.

 

Also, should i remove the ' from around the uname text?

[WHMCS Andrew]

Ah, well, thats slightly different then:

 

put this:

$a = $this->get_template_vars('customfield');

$this->assign('uname',$a.value);

[Tony Reynolds]

I now have this:

 

{if $customfield.name eq "Autoresponder User Name"}
{php}
$a = $this->get_template_vars('customfield');
$this->assign('uname',$a.value);
{/php}
<i>{$uname}</i>
<tr><td width="200" class="fieldarea">{$customfield.name}</td><td>{$uname}</td></tr>
{/if}

 

I added the line below so i could see what value was held in the variable.:

<tr><td width="200" class="fieldarea">{$customfield.name}</td><td>{$uname}</td></tr>

 

 

It tells me $uname now equals= Arrayvalue

[WHMCS Andrew]

try changing a.value to a['value']

[Tony Reynolds]

so it would be $a['value'] or just a['value']?

[Tony Reynolds]

got it

 

it is with the $

[WHMCS Andrew]

sorry, $a['value']

[Tony Reynolds]

Thanks again Andrew. I have to run to the store so I will get back to this later this evening.

 

Thanks for the help.

Tony
