In WHMCS, you can display custom fields on pages using template hooks or by directly editing the template files. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Method 1: Using Template Hooks
-
Log into WHMCS:
Access your WHMCS admin panel using your administrator credentials.
-
Navigate to Template Hooks:
- Go to "Setup" in the top menu.
- Click on "Addon Modules."
- Find the specific hook point where you want to display the custom field and click on it.
-
Create a Hook Function:
- Write a PHP function to fetch and display the custom field. For example:
phpfunction hook_display_custom_field($vars) { $customField = get_custom_field_value($vars['client_id'], 'custom_field_name'); return 'Custom Field Value: ' . $customField; }
Replace
'custom_field_name'
with the actual name of your custom field. -
Save the Hook:
- Save the hook function.
Method 2: Direct Template Editing

Locate the Template File:
- Identify the template file where you want to display the custom field. For example, if you want to add it to the client area, you might be editing a file like

.

-
Edit the Template File:
- Open the template file with a text editor.
- Add the following code to display the custom field:
smarty{php} $customField = get_custom_field_value($client_id, 'custom_field_name'); {/php} Custom Field Value: {$customField}
Replace
'custom_field_name'
with the actual name of your custom field. -
Save the Template File:
- Save the edited template file.
Note:
- Always make backups of your files before making changes to ensure you can restore them if something goes wrong.
- Ensure that the custom field is associated with the client or in order for it to be available in the template.
- If you're not familiar with PHP and template files, consider consulting with a developer or WHMCS expert for assistance.
Remember to test the changes thoroughly to ensure they work as expected on your WHMCS site.
