[SOLVED] CREATE NEW VARIABLE FOR header.tpl

[ikanimo]

I want to put in my header.tpl the date time:

 

so I try to put in FrontController.php public function displayHeader()

 

$date_time = (date("l, w F Y"));
self::$smarty->assign('date_time_tpl',$date_time );

 

then visual the date by put variable on header.tpl

 

{$date_time_tpl}

 

now works!!!

 

thanks to everybody, expecial rocky!!!

you code are correct. I guess it is cache.

 

try to clear your PrestaShop cache

 

Preferences tab - Performances tab

 

Smarty force compile : yes, cache : disabled

Cache (at page bottom): disabled

You're assigning the variable to index.tpl, not header.tpl. You should override the displayHeader() functin of classes/FrontController.php instead.

It didn't work for me. does it work for vs 1.5.1.3 ? I've done everything above but when I debug the page I can not see the new variable. I also copy and paste the example 3 from prestashop user guide it didn't work too. force compile is active and cache is close. what is wrong here?
