Action Hooks

[hostwes]

I need help.. Where can I find some documentation. Please let me know.

 

Thanks!

[sparky]

In the documentation section!!

 

Look up on this page, there is a menu, Click on Documentation and then you can search for what you need.

It just says see actionhooks.php.. How do I call them?

[sparky]

You don't call actionhooks at all directly.

 

One example is the actionhook_ClientDetailsEdit($vars)

 

When a client edits their details internally in whmcs the actionhook is called

$vars is an array of variables that can be used in that function

In this case the only variable sent is the clients id

From that you write your code to perform whatever action that you are trying to achieve when a client changes their details.

I am wanting to receive an email when a customer registers.

[sparky]

then you would add your code to send an email to this actionhook function

function actionhook_ClientSignup($vars) {

# This function runs when a new client is added

# $vars["ClientID"]

# $vars["FirstName"]

# $vars["LastName"]

# $vars["CompanyName"]

# $vars["Email"]

# $vars["Address1"]

# $vars["Address2"]

# $vars["City"]

# $vars["State"]

# $vars["Postcode"]

# $vars["Country"]

# $vars["PhoneNumber"]

# $vars["Password"]

}

Open the file and look at the functions. They are all pretty well self explanatory.

includes/actionhooks.php

But where would I add this code?

[sparky]

But where would I add this code?

 

You add your code within the function

function actionhook_ClientSignup($vars) {

# This function runs when a new client is added

# $vars["ClientID"]

# $vars["FirstName"]

# $vars["LastName"]

# $vars["CompanyName"]

# $vars["Email"]

# $vars["Address1"]

# $vars["Address2"]

# $vars["City"]

# $vars["State"]

# $vars["Postcode"]

# $vars["Country"]

# $vars["PhoneNumber"]

# $vars["Password"]

 

YOU PUT YOUR CODE HERE

 

}

 

Note the curley bracket at the bottom - means that is the end of the function.

How would I get it to email me? Thanks for all the help.

[hostwes]

I've never messed with Action Hooks before.

[othellotech]

How would I get it to email me?

 

By adding the code to send the email where it has been *clearly* indicated to you to add the code - or just employ someone with clue ...

[sparky]

Thanks Rob

[hostwes]

I can clearly see where to add it now.. Do I add a mailto, php function, ??? What, I've never done this before?

[sparky]
