How to pass local tpl variable to a php file.

[sarfaraz.r1406]

I am creating a variable in my tpl file.

var dlot=document.getElementById("select").value;

 

Now I want to access this variable in PaymentModule.php.

 

How can I do that?

I have a minimum knowledge of ajax.

 

Please help.

Hi,

I think that .php populates data in .tpl and not the opposite.

.tpl files are templates used for html building.

[sarfaraz.r1406]

I agree.

But I am getting a variablr in javascript oh tpl file. I want to use it in PaymentModule.php file. Please help

Maybe this helps

(2 scenarios described here, one for if you have a submit form on your tpl page already, and one without)

 

 

Hope this helps.

My 2 cents,

pascal.

you have to pass value of this variable with ajax request. there is no other way to pass it to php file from js/tpl

[sarfaraz.r1406]

This is how I am writing my ajax request.

$.ajax({

url: "C:\xampp\htdocs\prestashop1\prestashop\classes\PaymentModule.php",

cache: false,

data : {

varNew : '1',

},

success : function(res,textStatus,jqXHR)

{

}

});


I want to receive this var "varNew" in PaymentModule.php. Please tell me how to write the receiving statement because the syntax provided in that link isn't working.

I am hooking this module on the 4th step(carrier) of the payment page. So I dont think I am submitting any form there.

 

Thank you.

i think that this: 

url: "C:\xampp\htdocs\prestashop1\prestashop\classes\PaymentModule.php",

is wrong url

you can't call PaymentModule.php file because it's a class, not static script...

take a look what kind of code uses homeslider (in homeslider.php file) to call ajax request - it's a very good example

Hi vekia,

Thank you for your answer.

I would appreciate if you help me with my issue. 

Actually I want to write this variable newVar into my database in ps_order along with the order_id. So that I an keep a track for which order what is the value of my variable. The writing into the database is initiating in PaymentModule.php. So I need to access this variable from that class. 

Kindly suggest a way to do this.

@Vekia... can u plz help me with this issue?

[vekia]

you have to do this in controller, not in class you mentioned.

you extended your table to store additional information ?

[sarfaraz.r1406]

Yes I have added a column in PS_order. Which controller I'll have to use for this?
