I'm using hostfact https://www.hostfact.nl for our billing. Now I want to extend the code and get a loop on executing the internalAPI in hooks.php. I tried to find an answer in the documentation https://www.hostfact.nl/developer/api/ but without success.
// When a client is edited, the bankParameters are checked and validated.
// That is only an example
function action_debtor_is_edited($parameters){
$params = array(
'DebtorCode' => $parameters['DebtorCode']
);
$hostfactResult = internalAPI('debtor', 'show', $params);
$bankParams = array(
'Identifier' => '2',
'AccountNumber' => 'AT6734080000000000',
'AccountBank' => 'test bank',
'AccountCity' => 'city',
'AccountBIC' => 'RLNODASD'
);
$bankResult = internalAPI('debtor', 'edit', $bankParams);
}
I've already asked the support and got follwoing answer:
One of the option is keeping track of the situation. For example, use
a static or global variable. When you call an (internal)API call from
a webhook, first flag that variable, so in the newly called webhook
you know that is not needed to execute the webhook again (at least not
the part which causes the loop). In the original call, after receiving
the result, the flag can be unset again.
My Problem is, I'm new to PHP and don't understand what I should do to avoid the loop. The $bankParams variable is intentionally hardcoded.
Can you help?

Given that I have a WHMCS addon that I call 'my_addon'. I created the main addon file 'my_addon.php' which does contain nothing than:
<?php
function my_addon_clientarea($vars) {
$client = null;
return array(
'pagetitle' => 'My Addon',
'breadcrumb' => array('index.php?m=my_addon'=>'My Addon'),
'templatefile' => 'views/myaddon_view',
'vars' => array(
'client' => $client
)
);
}
This does basically work. It does give me my template file, everything is passed through. My question is: How do I get the currently logged in client from within that function?
I didn't find any API method and I can't see any constant which does hold this information.
There must be a way to get the current client within the clientarea? Thanks for your help!
For those who do come after me and have the same problem: it's easy to solve. Turned out, that I just had to think it through... I found the client id to be available in the $_SESSION-variable.
So, if you are looking for the client's id:
<?php
function my_addon_clientarea($vars) {
$clientid = $_SESSION['uid'];
// And so on...
}
The official way to get current user information is:
$currentUser = new \WHMCS\Authentication\CurrentUser;
$user = $currentUser->user();

I am using cakePHP 2.5 and I want to access $this->Paginator->hasNext() in controller, but it through exception.
$type = array('featured', 'newest', 'trending');
foreach($type as $each)
{
$conditions = array('Product.status'=>'1', "is_$each" => '1');
$this->Product->recursive = 1;
//retrieve and set final result set
$this->paginate = array(
'fields' => array('Product.*'),
'conditions' => $conditions,
'limit' => $page_limit,
'page' => $page,
'order' => "$order_by $order_by_sort",
);
$products[$each] = $this->paginate('Product');
}
On my page, I want to display 3 type of product featured/trending/newest. Initially I load first page by default, then when user scroll down then I will call ajax and append next page like wise. But if last page is reached then I want to stop ajax call (because unknown page through 404 not found error).
To overcome that, I prevent AJAX call for unknown pages. And also make sure that first page isn't last!!
Hope my details make sense!
I could not find any answer on any forum/document. Please guide me or point me if it's duplicate of any.
You don't need to (and cannot*) access a helper in the controller.
Take a look at the source code for hasNext which is just calling the helper function _hasPage, which is simply checking the parameters array.
The paginator parameters are all available in the controller:
$paging = array(
'page' => $page,
'current' => count($results),
'count' => $count,
'prevPage' => ($page > 1),
'nextPage' => ($count > ($page * $limit)),
'pageCount' => $pageCount,
'order' => $order,
'limit' => $limit,
'options' => Hash::diff($options, $defaults),
'paramType' => $options['paramType']
);
So from the code in the question:
$this->request['paging']['Product']['nextPage']
Is the information you're looking for (it will be overwritten each time you call paginate.
Consider your application design.
Unless you have exactly the same number of featured, newest and trending records - it'd be better to have one ajax request for each type. Also see this related question, for more information on implementing infinite-scroll type pages.
* Almost anything is possible, you certainly should not need to use a helper in a controller though.
MVC Violation
$this->Paginator->hasNext()
That's a method of the helper. Helpers are not thought to be used in controllers because this is a violation of the MVC pattern and bad practice. If you think you have to you're wrong: Fix your architecture, it's broken by design.
Proper solution
Return the status of the pagination along with the data in the AJAX response:
$this->set('pagination', $this->request->paging['Product']);
$this->set('products', $result);
$this->set('_serialize', ['products', 'pagination']);
You can change the state of your view depending on the data then:
if (pagination.Product.nextPage == true) { /*... */ }
I don't know if this is possible or if it's a complete madness but I'm trying to execute a PHP method from AJAX call using OctoberCMS Ajax Framework(I assume that this uses jQuery behind it) and is not working because I never get redirect to PayPal site. The PHP code I'm trying to get working is this one:
protected function onExecutePurchaseMethod()
{
Omnipay::gateway('PayPal_Express');
$params = [
'username' => $this->username,
'password' => $this->password,
'signature' => $this->signature,
'testMode' => $this->sandboxMode,
'amount' => Session::get('amountToReload'),
'cancelUrl' => url( 'payment/step4', "", $secure = null ),
'returnUrl' => url( 'payment/step2', "", $secure = null ),
'currency' => 'USD'
];
$response = Omnipay::purchase($params)->send();
if ($response->isSuccessful()) {
var_dump($response);
} else {
var_dump($response->getMessage());
}
}
What is happening since none redirect to PayPal is executed and page is getting stuck many times forcing me to close the browser and reopen again, no method is executed and no visible errors. It's possible to do what I'm trying to do? Is not a madness? If it's possible where is my error?
As extra info I'm using Barryvdh Laravel-omnipay package for handle Omnipay from within Laravel.
After looking briefly through the documentation, my best guess is that you're missing a required field for the purchase() method. I believe you need a card parameter (even if it's an invalid one) to get it to process.
I am trying to add a Captcha as part of a big application form.
Getting the following error:
session has already been started by session.auto-start or session_start()
How can I get around this as behind the scenes it uses:
// Process metadata specific only to this namespace.
Zend_Session::start(true); // attempt auto-start (throws exception if strict option set)
I instantiate it in the Controller:
$this->view->captcha = new Zend_Form_Element_Captcha('captcha', array(
'captcha' => array(
'captcha' => 'Figlet',
'wordLen' => 6,
'width' => 300,
'height' => 100,
)
)
);
In the View:
<?php echo $this->captcha; ?>
I can't tamper with current session as it holds a lot of information. Is there a workaround?
Help would be appreciated.
You can do one thing in this case, try starting your Zend session in bootstrap file in below way and set that session object in registry:
protected function _initSession() {
$userSession = new Zend_Session_Namespace('user_session');
Zend_Registry::set('userSession', $userSession);
}
After this you will be able to get session object anywhere from registry.
$userSession = Zend_Registry::get('userSession');
Since you will start your Zend Session before session_start() so it might not produce any error.
I have a controller which I use for a login form. In the view, I have a {error} variable which I want to fill in by using the parser lib, when there is an error. I have a function index() in my controller, controlled by array $init which sets some base variables and the error message to '':
function index()
{
$init = array(
'base_url' => base_url(),
'title' => 'Login',
'error' => ''
);
$this->parser->parse('include/header', $init);
$this->parser->parse('login/index', $init);
$this->parser->parse('include/footer', $init);
}
At the end of my login script, I have the following:
if { // query successful }
else
{
$init['error'] = "fail";
$this->parser->parse('login/index', $init);
}
Now, of course this doesn't work. First of all, it only loads the index view, without header and footer, and it fails at setting the original $init['error'] to (in this case) "fail". I was trying to just call $this->index() with perhaps the array as argument, but I can't seem to figure out how I can pass a new $init['error'] which overrides the original one. Actually, while typing this, it seems to impossible to do what I want to do, as the original value will always override anything new.. since I declare it as nothing ('').
So, is there a way to get my error message in there, or not? And if so, how. If not, how would I go about getting my error message in the right spot? (my view: {error}. I've tried stuff with 'global' to bypass the variable scope but alas, this failed. Thanks a lot in advance.
$init musst be modified before generating your view.
To load your header and footer you can include the following command and the footer's equivalent into your view.
<?php $this->load->view('_header'); ?>
to display errors, you can as well use validation_errors()
if you are using the codeigniter form validation.
if you are using the datamapper orm for codeigniter you can write model validations, and if a query fails due to validation rule violation, you get a proper error message in the ->error property of your model.
Code for your model:
var $validation = array(
'user_name' => array(
'rules' => array('required', 'max_length' => 120),
'label' => 'Name'
)
);
You might try this:
function index() {
$init = array(
'base_url' => base_url(),
'title' => 'Login',
'error' => ''
);
$string = $this->parser->parse('include/header', $init, TRUE);
$string .= $this->parser->parse('login/index', $init, TRUE);
$string .= $this->parser->parse('include/footer', $init, TRUE);
$this->parser->parse_string(string);
}
In parse()you can pass TRUE (boolean) to the third parameter, when you want data returned instead of being sent (immediately) to the output class. By the other hand, the method parse_string works exactly like `parse(), only accepts a string as the first parameter in place of a view file, thus it works in conjunction.
