Need to load products array on header

[ReactionCode]

Hi I'm trying to do a module and when I located on category page I need to load the products array in header.

 

Because the smarty limitations It's not possible to call the var $products on header.tpl.

 

I need the next data to work on my script

 

$product.id, $product.name, $product.price

 

how can i get the var on the header hook? I tried this but don't work

 

module.php

public function hookHeader($params)
{
   if ($page_name == 'category'){
    $products = new Products($_GET['products']);   
    $smarty->assign('products', $products);
  }
  return $this->display(__FILE__, 'views/templates/hook/header.tpl');
}

header.tpl

{if $page_name == 'category'}
      {foreach from=$products item=product}
           my-code {$product.id|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'};
           my-code {$product.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'};
      {/foreach}
{/if}

Thanks

Hey man,

Probably you can do that.

 

What is the error you got?

Hi Tung

 

The problem is that I need the variable $products that loads when you are in a category or manufacturer available in the header hook

 

how can I do that?

 

thanks.

Hello,

I'm sorry but I can not imagine what's happening to you, so I can not help here.

Tung,

 

can you confirm me if the sintaxis for get the products var is ok?

 

Best regards.

If you product item is an array, you can access its attributes using:

$product.id

If it's an object, you should use:

$product->id

Hope this helps!

will this line of code return a database query result?

new Products($_GET['products'])

unless your 100% sure that it will

$product.id

I don't think calling it the usual way will work.

The best way is to attache your module here. I can not imagine how your code looks like and can not give you a helping hand.
