Append variables to already instantiated smarty array.

[Premitium]

Guys, I have created a *.tpl file and I assigned some variables to the smarty array e.g:

public function hookExtraCarrier($params)
    {
            //deleted code...

            $this->context->smarty->assign(array(
                'wineo_free_shipping_id' => Configuration::get('WINEO_FREE_CARRIER_ID'),
                'this_path' => $this->_path,
                'this_path_ssl' => Tools::getShopDomainSsl(true, true).__PS_BASE_URI__.'modules/'.$this->name.'/',
            ));

        return $this->display(__FILE__, 'wineocarrier.tpl');
    }

I have another method that I want to add more variables to the array. I have tried things like:

  public function addCarrierNameList()
    {
      
        //deleted code...
        if (isset($carrierNameNorm)) {
          $this->context->smarty->assign(array(
            'wineo_shipping_type' => $carrierNameNorm['name']
          ));
        }
        // echo '<pre>', print_r($carrierNameNorm['name']),'</pre>';
        // return $this->display(__FILE__, 'wineocarrier.tpl');

      }
    }

I cannot get the 'wineo_shipping_type' variable in the template file.

 

What is the best way to approach this?

 

Thanks!!!

you run function addCarrierNameList() somewhere?

Yes, it called by an ajax function in the tpl. The request is successful but the variable is not set in the view. I am checking like this: {if isset($wineo_shipping_type)}
