Adding Entry to Sidebar

[ikyriazis]

Hello,

I'd like to start off by saying you guys have put an incredible software package together that solves a lot of my community center's needs.

We do need a payment system so in conjunction with the membership fee plugin I want to add an entry to the sidebar that says "Pay Now" and is visible if the user hasn't paid their membership dues yet.

So far I've added this code to admidio/adm_themes/simple/templates/sys-template-parts/menu.main.tpl that lets the "Pay Now" button show up permanently.

Code: Alles auswählen

{if $menuGroup.name === "Modules"}
  <li class="nav-item">
    <a id="PAY_NOW" class="nav-link" href="https://www.ioannis.ky/{$currentUser->getValue('usr_id')}">
      <i class="fas fa-dollar-sign fa-fw"></i>Pay Now
    </a>
  </li>
{/if}

This is ok for now but I was wondering if there is a better way to do this? I noticed you can add an entry to the sidebar using the menu page but it doesn't let me get the user id of the logged in user.

Thanks in advance,
Ioannis

Hi Ioannis,

do you have read this chapter about the integration of user data in your template?

I think this should help you for your needs. Maybe you specify user field with the info if the user has paid his fees.

Hi Fasse,

Thanks for the response. I went ahead and wrote a tutorial on how to integrate Stripe with Admidio to help others that want to accept payments and automatically update member paid status in Admidio.

Here it is, would mean a lot if you took a look at it:

Hi Ioannis,

thats a great article and now I do understand your post here.
I made an issue for that feature https://github.com/Admidio/admidio/issues/1707

But we should provide the UUID of the user and not the ID.

I also think about it to start a list of good Admidio articles and link to your article. I will wrote you if I had create such a page.
