[SOLVED] Include tpl in module frontcontroller

[Prescol]

I have a tpl to my custom module frontcontroller. I need know to include a tpl file into the frontcroller tpl.

Something like

...code of my frontcontroller tpl...

{include file="menu.tpl"}

... more code of frontcontroller tpl

I have both of the tpls in the same folder (mymodules/views/templates/front/[...]) but im not capable to make the include work. I´ve tried using the global smarty variables, and adding manually the uri. Does anyone know how could this be done?

 

Thanks.

try to put the included tpl file in a sub folder called <folder of calling tpl file>/templates

 

so you get this:

/path/to/mymainfile.tpl

/path/to/templates/myincudefile.tpl

 

Then just use

{include file='myincludefile.tpl'}

 

inside mymainfile.tpl

 

More info:

http://www.smarty.net/docsv2/en/api.variables.tpl#variable.template.dir

http://www.smarty.net/docsv2/en/template.resources.tpl

 

Hope this helps,

Thanks Pascal, but don´t work. I should have found the solution before,  because getting deep in the code i saw that there is a method in the class "moduleFrontController" that retrieves the current dir of the module template.

 

So for anyone who need it:

 

Assign the current directory of the template to Smarty (In our module frontController)

 $this->context->smarty->assign('ModuleTemplateDir',$this->getTemplatePath())

Then in smarty,in our template file we use include file

{include file="$base_plantilla./another.tpl"}
