Custom Pages

[ravenau]

Hi guys,

 

I tried creating some custom pages within my WHMCS install (3.7.2) following the instructions outlined in the wiki manual. No matter what I add into the .tpl file, when calling the php file it returns blank (no code, html etc whatsoever).

 

I've made sure to change the $templatefile variable to match the template file I created and I've even tried specifying other .tpl files that were included in the installation without any luck - same result.

 

I did notice the example given in the wiki includes a file called clientareafunctions.php, which I can't locate either on the filesystem or the whmcs_372 zip file I installed from. The closest file I could find is clientfunctions.php, located in the same directory

 

Am I missing a file I should have (clientareafunctions.php? I'm Wondering if someone has come across this issue previously or has any advice?

Never mind, worked it out

 

clientareafunctions.php is included in 3.8.0.

A blank page is a sign that something's wrong in the .tpl file. Do you have any php code or similar?

Hi CD,

 

It worked after I copied the clientareafunctions.php file into the includes directory, as it was only included in 3.8.x and above, I'm running 3.7.2 still.

Here is an example of the old custom page code

<?php

define("CLIENTAREA",true);

require("dbconnect.php");

require("includes/functions.php");

 

$pagetitle = "Hosting";

 

$pageicon = "images/supporttickets_big.gif";

 

$breadcrumbnav = '<a href="index.php">'.$_LANG['globalsystemname'].'</a> > <a href="hosting.php">Hosting Plans</a>';

 

require("init.php");

 

# Define the template filename to be used without the .tpl extension

 

$templatefile = "hosting";

 

require("display.php");

 

?>
