[SOLVED] Can i add best-sales block to 404 error page?

[stephenr]

I want to add my best-sales block to the 404 error page, is that possible to do?

 

I have tried to copy the content from my best sales template (best-sales.tpl) into my 404 template (404.tpl).

 

But when i access the 404 error page, it says that there is no top products.

in this case you will have to copy contents (from hook) to PageNotFoundController.php and also attach variable to smarty array

[stephenr]

Thanks vekia. Though what you are saying is gibberish to me.  

 

Could you explain it to me as if I was 2 years old ?

[vekia]

open this file: controllers/front/PageNotFoundController.php

you will see there function public function initContent() - inside this function you can find:

$this->setTemplate(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'404.tpl');

right befor this code add:

$this->context->smarty->assign(array(
  'bestsales' => ProductSale::getBestSales($this->context->language->id,0,10)
));

whole initContent funciton should look like now:

public function initContent()
	{
		header('HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found');
		header('Status: 404 Not Found');

		if (in_array(Tools::strtolower(substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], -3)), array('png', 'jpg', 'gif')))
		{
			if ((bool)Configuration::get('PS_REWRITING_SETTINGS'))
				preg_match('#([0-9]+)(\-[_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)?(-[0-9]+)?/(.+)\.(png|jpg|gif)$#', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], $matches);
			if ((!isset($matches[2]) || empty($matches[2])) && !(bool)Configuration::get('PS_REWRITING_SETTINGS'))
				preg_match('#/([0-9]+)(\-[_a-zA-Z]*)\.(png|jpg|gif)$#', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], $matches);

			if (is_array($matches) && !empty($matches[2]) && Tools::strtolower(substr($matches[2], -8)) != '_default' && is_numeric($matches[1]))
			{			
				$matches[2] = substr($matches[2], 1, Tools::strlen($matches[2])).'_default';
				if (!isset($matches[4]))
					$matches[4] = '';
				header('Location: '.$this->context->link->getImageLink($matches[4], $matches[1], $matches[2]), true, 302);
				exit;
			}			

			header('Content-Type: image/gif');
			readfile(_PS_IMG_DIR_.'404.gif');
			exit;
		}
		elseif (in_array(Tools::strtolower(substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], -3)), array('.js', 'css')))
			exit;

		parent::initContent();

		$this->context->smarty->assign(array(
			'bestsales' => ProductSale::getBestSales($this->context->language->id,0,10)
		));
        
		$this->setTemplate(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'404.tpl');
	}

then in file: 404.tpl located in your theme directory add this code:

{include file="./product-list.tpl" products=$bestsales}

where?

everything depends on you, put it there where you want to display best sales products

@vekia

 

So I tried your solution and it works perfectly! Thank you!

[vekia]

thank you for confirmation that it works

may i know the url to your website? im so curious how it looks and works in "real" store

[stephenr]

Yeah sure.

Gives me a chance to test something else. I was told that someone in the states couldn't access the site.

Hello, in prestashop 1.5 it is possibile to do this with hooks ?

[kamppa]

Thanks Vekia! This works with 1.6.1.10 but the product titles and descriptions are duplicated on 404 page.

 

How could it be prevented?

 

I also tried this:

I know I shouldn´t just add myself here but I would like to do exactly the same but in 1.7.2.4, any chance for this?

Am i missing something?
