[Quick Fix] Missing code for new theme. Here is a little help

[Patrick]

Anyone who decided to use the new Modern client area theme which are probably many of you as it's quite nice. Kris again (as he did in the side panel theme when it was first made) forgot to include the "Available Credit" code in to the dashboard.  If your customers ever had credit, they had no where telling them just how much unless it was to be applied to an open invoice.

The code you need is this.

Code Select Expand

           
{if $acc_credit>0}
      <div class="greenbox">{$lang.credit}: <strong>{$acc_credit|price:$currency}</strong></div>
{/if}


You can place this code on line 18-19 of the dashboard.tpl file located in {template}/clientarea/dashboard.tpl

Now after you do that, it's a little big for this template in my opinion.  This next part is just added customization should you feel like you would like to modify the green div.
Now enter {template}/css/main.css line 3071 you will see a div tag .greenbox {.  Instead of complicating it, i'll just give you my modification to it which makes it a little cleaner.  Feel free to play with the settings if you know how.

Code Select Expand


.greenbox {
    margin-bottom:20px;
    background: #e3f89d;
    border:1px solid #c7ee4c;
    color:#537113;
    padding:5px 5px 8px;
}


Hopefully this helps those of you looking to add this

Very helpful! I was about to update to the new theme, and I have a lot of clients with credit balances. Thanks Pat, saved me a few tickets.

I'm glad.  Anything that free's up the helpdesk is a win in any category

Just applied your fix, and worked like a charm. Thanks Patrick!

This is for the new theme released in 4.5.6?


I hadn't actually upgraded yet from last week but I think I'll do that now since I haven't seen any showstoppers yet

There're a few theme issues, but for the most part many easily correctable. Many of the issues reside in the order pages, but that's primarily because the order pages are all coded differently and only work with certain client portal themes. I just adjust as necessary.

I just don't like adjusting them every update because I replace all theme changes during updates. I wouldn't want to make a backup of a theme and there be a valid security fix. When a change is made, I take a note of it and re-apply it in the proper files.

Little things like what Patrick's post fixes are too often overlooked during new releases, so hopefully it improves overtime.
