Accessing other template's variables

[jrianto]

I am trying to create some custom application within WHMCS. I am having some problem trying to figure out to display other template's client variables within my custom pages.

 

For example, I see on clientareahome.tpl file, there is a variable {$stats.creditbalance}

 

I tried using this variable in my own custom file agent.tpl, but its value does not show up.

 

That is just one example, I am trying to create an application within WHMCS which needs to access various variables which I already see on your other template files. For example, I would also need to display some orders variables, transaction variables, invoices variables, etc, etc.

 

How do I make all these variables accessible from my custom template file? So I can refer to other templates on using this variables and have the values show up.

Put the tag {debug} in the specific templates you want to add tags to and browse to it.

 

A window will pop up giving you a list of all usable tags for that specific template.

Thanks J. I am aware of the {debug} directive, but what I am trying to do is to actually access variables available on OTHER template files.

 

For example, I am trying to display the value of {$stats.creditbalance} which is available on the clientareahome.tpl template.

 

How do I display that value on my own template file?

The codes you see with the {debug} tag are the only ones that WHMCS populates for the specific template.

 

If you want to use any others then you have to recreate what WHMCS does and get the information yourself through a DB query using php tags or an external file.

 

The easiest way is to probably execute the query via WHMCS's own db functions within the template using {php} codes.

Yes I think that is the only way to go.

 

Thanks

How do I access the smarty array variables within the {php} section?

 

For example:

{php}

$custlanguage = $this->get_template_vars('language');

 

print "$custlanguage";

{/php}

 

That will display "English". But what if the smarty variable is an array like {$clientsdetails}. I tried using:

$custfirstname = $this->get_template_vars('clientsdetails->firstname');

$custfirstname = $this->get_template_vars('clientsdetails[0]');

 

Both does not work. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

$custfirstname = $this->_tpl_vars['clientsdetails']['firstname'];

 

Does that help out a little
