Force selection of a single Addon?

[dan.trainor]

Hi -

 

I'm in a situation here where I'd like to force the selection of one, and only one, configurable addon in this group. The idea is, this data will be used to specify a special configuration in the backend of the application I'm trying to snap in to WHMCS.

 

Although I'd like to achieve the same end result (client selects a paid selectable addon and gets the extra service, else client selects the free selectable addon and gets standard service), I feel as if I'm going about this the wrong way. Maybe I should just bone up on my SQL and use the same logic that WHMCS uses to determine if a client has an addon or not, and go about my business that way.

 

Thoughts?

 

Thanks!

we use the configurable fields for exactly this

Yeah, I understand that using configurable fields for this would be neat. But since one is a "Standard" option and one is a "Premium" option, how do you price that out? How do you bill in this manner?

 

Thanks

your config option has two selections

default/standard at cost 0

premium at cost x

does precisely what you want, even allows (subject to you configuraing the product accordingly) people to upgrade to premium later

Thanks for the tip. To be perfectly honest I've been spending so much time on writing this custom module that I've strayed well away from the core of WHMCS. I'll take another look at it soon; sounds like I can do this.

 

Thanks!
