Find domain tld in client area - WHMCS V6

Hello

Am in the process of upgrading to V6.3 from V5 and making changes to our default V5 template. I had an IF statement I was using to display info in the client area specific to a tld

if $tld eq "ie"

Now it seems the variable $tld is no longer being used in V6 , am I correct ? I stuck a {debug} at the top of the page and its not listing $tld or $sld as an available option anymore.

Any ideas how I can obtain that info in V6 easily without having to write a hook ?

TIA

Hi Martin,

which clientarea page are you looking at to do this in ? there are many pages to choose from and some might have a usable variable, others not!

e.g., if it was clientareadomaindetails.tpl, then you'd have access to $domain and from that you could use Smarty to get the TLD and display the appropriate message.

Hi Brian

Thanks for the reply! Yes its in clientareadomaindetails.tpl and the variable is there in V5 of WHMCS but not V6 . Appreciate your help.

Tks

Anyone have any idea how to achieve this ? Thanks !

Hi Martin,

sorry - from your reply, I got the impression that you knew how to do it!

the quick way, if this is for an Irish domain, would be to simply check if the domain contains '.ie' - unless you're offering 4th level domains, or something where '.ie' could appear other than the end, then this should be sufficient...

{if $domain|strstr:'.ie'} message {/if}

for other TLDs, you might need to specifically check that the substring is at the end of the variable, and not just anywhere in the variable.

for your purpose, what you might find more convenient is to split $domain into $sld and $tld - that should allow you to use your previous {if} code from v5.

{assign domsearch $domain|strpos:"."}
{assign sld $domain|substr:0:$domsearch} 
{assign tld $domain|substr:($domsearch+1)}

the above Smarty code is written for v6 (using Smarty3), it wouldn't necessarily work in v5 (using Smarty2) - so others wanting to do this in v5, would need to use the code I posted in the thread below.

http://forum.whmcs.com/showthread.php?107379-using-php-in-domainoptions-tpl&p=440938#post440938

you'll now have two variables that you can use on the domaindetails page, {$sld} and {$tld} - so you should be able to use your previous code...

{if $tld eq "ie"} message {/if}

hope that helps!

Hi Brian

Thanks for this , and sorry for confusion . This appears to be working which is great but I am getting an additional error now

Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /var/www/vhosts/mydevdomain/httpdocs/vendor/smarty/smarty/libs/SmartyBC.class.php(464) : eval()'d code on line 8

In my block of code I am referencing $this

$domainid = $this->_tpl_vars['domainid'];

$domainname = $this->_tpl_vars['domain'];

Is there a replacement variable for $this ?

Thanks again for your help,

Regards

Martin

Hi Martin,

I might need to see you entire code - but I get the impression that you're trying to do this in PHP i.e within {php} tags rather than purely in Smarty.

at some point in the future, using {php} tags won't be an option in WHMCS - so if you can do it only using Smarty and drop the {php} tags, now would be a good time to start.

however, if you have to, check out the documentation in the thread below.

Hi Brian

Thanks for this , I substituted the code from the example and got a bit further but it highlighted other issues with my code - ill have to get a developer to look at it for me and follow up on your suggestions.

Thanks for your help!

Kind Regards

Martin
