[CLOSE] How to include my own function?

[Donaldiosa]

Hello, 

I want to include my own function-file into the module of prestashop (blocktopmenu.php). But if I do that, I get an error-msg "failed to open stream: No such file or directory". But the file exist and I don't have any idea, what is wrong here.

 

I've inserted the following code into the function named "public function hookDisplayTop($param)". This is in the file blocktopmenu.php. I tested it with from root and without from root, with the file "my_function.php" in the root-dir and in the subdir modules/blocktopmenu/:

• ./home/prestashoptest/my_functions.php
• /home/prestashoptest/my_functions.php
• home/prestashoptest/my_functions.php
• ./home/prestashoptest/modules/blocktopmenu/my_functions.php
• /home/prestashoptest/modules/blocktopmenu/my_functions.php
• home/prestashoptest/modules/blocktopmenu/my_functions.php
• ../../../my_functions.php
  
  It doesn't work :-(

Could please anyone tell me, what I have to do to inculde my own function?

I want to determine the count of pieces from cart at these moments.

echo '<br>getcwd='.getcwd().'<br>';

echo '<br>_PS_ROOT_DIR_='._PS_ROOT_DIR_.'<br>';

echo '<br>$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]='.$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"].'<br>';

 

            include(dirname(__FILE__). '/my_functions.php');

 

echo '<br>__FILE__='.__FILE__.'<br>';

 

            include($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . '/my_functions.php');

 

            $my_products = my_get_cart('shop_cart_product');
            $this->smarty->assign('TestVariable', $my_products);

and than, I got these:

/home/prestashoptest

_PS_ROOT_DIR_=/home/prestashoptest

$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]=/home/prestashoptest

I found it easy creating a utility class in the /override/classes folder and adding my functions in it. That class gets autoloaded and you have a "namespace" for all your functions.

Thanks, that works fine
