[SOLVED] How to create a global variable in prestashop ?

[avi_24]

Hai friends how to create a global variable in prestashop which we can use across all admin/front controllers............actually i want to store a value to a variable from a particular controller and use it from other controllers..... can anyone suggest a solution...(i dont want to use configuration variable...as i want to use this particular variable as session based)

You can use Context Object

actually i want to have the value of

$this->context->employee->id 

from AdminLoginController to be available at AdminProductsController ...How can we utilize context object for that purpose

Avi, as you can see inAdminProductsController, they already use exactly that pice of code to get the ID, for example here:

 

in function: public function processUpdate()

 

they have this line of code:

 

$preview_url .= 'adtoken='.$this->token.'&ad='.$admin_dir.'&id_employee='.(int)$this->context->employee->id;

 

So, if I understand your question correctly, you can just directly use it here, as given.

 

Please elaborate if I misunderstood.
