[SOLVED] Load category name and product name in header

[mozack]

Hi,

I'm facing some problems to load category and product name in header.tpl. Since the smarty arrays that contains this info are loaded after header.tpl, i cant use the {$product->name} or {$category->name} variables in header.tpl. How can i do that? assign this variables to header?

My point is, in header put the category or product name ex.:

{if $page == 'category'}{$category->name}{elseif $page=='product'}{$product->name}{else}{l s='Hi something'}{/if}

How can i do that?

Thanks

Mozack

You'll need to add the following code in header.php before the $smarty->display:

if ($page_name == 'category' AND isset($_GET['id_category']))
{
  $category = new Category($_GET['id_category'], intval($cookie->id_lang));

  if (Validate::isLoadedObject($category))
     $smarty->assign('category_name', $category->name);
}
elseif ($page_name == 'product' AND isset($_GET['id_product']))
{
  $product = new Product($_GET['id_product'], false, intval($cookie->id_lang));

  if (Validate::isLoadedObject($product))
     $smarty->assign('product_name', $product->name);
}

then you can add the following to header.tpl:

{if isset($category_name)}{$category_name}{elseif isset($product_name)}{$product_name}{else}{l s='Hi something'}{/if}

Hi,

It works like a charm... I'm sorry but i need one more help. Integrate the cover image of product to load in header as the product name... I was seeing the code but i can not figure it out.

Thanks for all your help,

Regards

So you want a small product cover image instead of the product name? To do that, you'll need to add the following to header.php:

if ($page_name == 'category' AND isset($_GET['id_category']))
{
   $category = new Category($_GET['id_category'], intval($cookie->id_lang));
   if (Validate::isLoadedObject($category))
       $smarty->assign('category_name', $category->name);
}
elseif ($page_name == 'product' AND isset($_GET['id_product']))
{   
   $product = new Product($_GET['id_product'], false, intval($cookie->id_lang));
   if (Validate::isLoadedObject($product))
       $smarty->assign('product', $product);

   $images = $product->getImages(intval($cookie->id_lang));
   foreach ($images AS $k => $image)
       if ($image['cover'])
       {
           $cover = $image;
           $cover['id_image'] = intval($product->id).'-'.$cover['id_image'];
           $cover['id_image_only'] = intval($image['id_image']);
       }
   if (!isset($cover))
       $cover = array('id_image' => Language::getIsoById($cookie->id_lang).'-default', 'legend' => 'No picture', 'title' => 'No picture');
   $smarty->assign('cover', $cover);
}

then use the following in header.tpl:

{if isset($category_name)}{$category_name}{elseif isset($product_name)}<img src="{$link->getImageLink($product->link_rewrite, $cover.id_image, 'small')}" title="{$product->name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" alt="{$product->name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" />{else}{l s='Hi something'}{/if}

Hi,

Thanks for the code. I was forced to make some changes once the code you post have a small error. But i've done it well and now it works.

Thanks

[rocky]

What was the error I made so I can correct it above?

[mozack]

Hi,

I've corrected the code, and now, the code is:

if ($page_name == 'category' AND isset($_GET['id_category']))
{
   $category = new Category($_GET['id_category'], intval($cookie->id_lang));
   if (Validate::isLoadedObject($category))
       $smarty->assign('category_name', $category->name);
}
elseif ($page_name == 'product' AND isset($_GET['id_product']))
{   
   $product = new Product($_GET['id_product'], false, intval($cookie->id_lang));
   if (Validate::isLoadedObject($product))
       $smarty->assign('product_name', $product->name);


   $images = $product->getImages(intval($cookie->id_lang));
   foreach ($images AS $k => $image)
       if ($image['cover'])
       {
           $cover = $image;
           $cover['id_image'] = intval($product->id).'-'.$cover['id_image'];
           $cover['id_image_only'] = intval($image['id_image']);
       }
   if (!isset($cover))
       $cover = array('id_image' => Language::getIsoById($cookie->id_lang).'-default', 'legend' => 'No picture', 'title' => 'No picture');
       $smarty->assign('cover', $cover);

}

I think the problem was one }

Thanks for your help, everything is right now...

By request, here's an override that does this modification in PrestaShop v1.4.4.

Category and Product Name in Header TPL for PrestaShop v1.4.4.zip

[Wezzo]

Hi there,

 

Thanks for this thread, its exactly what I was looking for...

 

I have followed the instructions as listed above and downloaded the override function, but still no luck.

 

the output gives me:

 

http://127.0.0.1/prestashop/-small/.jpg

 

no product id is pulled through.

 

Any advice?

 

PS. I am using PS 1.4.4

 

Thanks

[mr10]

this does not work when using seo-friendly URL's, only when using product.php?id_product=xx

 

does someone have any idea how to get this to work with sep-friendly urls?

 

thank you

[mr10]

sorry, i put in override/controllers instead of override/classes (confusing because of name frontcontroller)

now it works.

but if you want to get the cover image, you need to add code from post above (and add self:: before smarty assign)

 

so after:

  if (Validate::isLoadedObject($product))
   self::$smarty->assign('product_name', $product->name);

 

place:

  $images = $product->getImages(intval($cookie->id_lang));
  foreach ($images AS $k => $image) {
   if ($image['cover']) {
 $cover = $image;
 $cover['id_image'] = intval($product->id).'-'.$cover['id_image'];
 $cover['id_image_only'] = intval($image['id_image']);
   }
  }
  if (!isset($cover)) $cover = array('id_image' => Language::getIsoById($cookie->id_lang).'-default', 'legend' => 'No picture', 'title' => 'No picture');
  self::$smarty->assign('cover', $cover);

 

and in header.tpl:

 {if isset($product_name)}<meta property="og:image" content="{$link->getImageLink($product->link_rewrite, $cover.id_image, 'list')}" />{/if}

it gives you:

<meta property="og:image" content="http://easypeas.be/173-list/.jpg" />

but that is a valid image

 

hope this will help

Hi, i want to show canonical link in header (header.tpl)

 

 <!-- canonical -->

{if $page_name == 'index' or $page_name == 'search'}
 <link rel="canonical" href="{$base_dir}" />
{elseif $page_name == 'category' or $page_name == 'best-sales' or $page_name == 'cart' or $page_name == 'discount' or $page_name == 'manufacturer' or $page_name == 'new-products' or $page_name == 'prices-drop'}
 <link rel="canonical" href="{$base_dir}{$request_uri|substr:1|regex_replace:'/\/(.*)/':''|regex_replace:'/\?(.*)/':''}" />
{else}
  <link rel="canonical" href="{$base_dir}{$product->id_category_default}-{$request_uri|substr:1|regex_replace:'/\/(.*)/':''|regex_replace:'/\?(.*)/':''}" />
{/if}

 

 

But {$product->id_category_default} is not accesible from header.tpl

Hi!

 

I'm a little confused. I don't know where exactly to put the PHP code for assigning the smarty variables.

You wrote: "You'll need to add the following code in header.php before the $smarty->display"

My header.php file contains only the following two lines:

$controller = new FrontController();

$controller->displayHeader();

 

The assignment of the variables doesn't work when I put the code anywhere in this file.

 

I'm using PrestaShop™ 1.4.4.1.

 

Thanks for a little help!

[m4rcel82]

Hi.

 

I could solve my problem without editing any php file.

 

I just put this code in my header.tpl file:

 

 

{php}
        $product = new Product($_GET['id_product'], false, intval($cookie->id_lang));
$images = $product->getImages(intval($cookie->id_lang));
           foreach ($images AS $k => $image)
               if ($image['cover'])
               {
                   $cover = $image;
                   $cover['id_image'] = intval($product->id).'-'.$cover['id_image'];
                   $cover['id_image_only'] = intval($image['id_image']);
                   echo("<meta property='og:image' content='img/p/".$cover['id_image']."-large.jpg' />");
               }

{/php}

Hi Rocky,

 

I know this is an old post but I am still using an old version of prestashop :-(

 

I am looking to do something similar in my header : 

 

{if $page_name == 'product'}{$product->reference|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'} {$category->name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'} {else} {l s='Hi something'}{/if}

 

 

Any idea how I should proceed ?

 

Thanks for your help.

 

 

You'll need to add the following code in header.php before the $smarty->display:
 

if ($page_name == 'category' AND isset($_GET['id_category'])){   $category = new Category($_GET['id_category'], intval($cookie->id_lang));   if (Validate::isLoadedObject($category))      $smarty->assign('category_name', $category->name);}elseif ($page_name == 'product' AND isset($_GET['id_product'])){   $product = new Product($_GET['id_product'], false, intval($cookie->id_lang));   if (Validate::isLoadedObject($product))      $smarty->assign('product_name', $product->name);}

then you can add the following to header.tpl:

{if isset($category_name)}{$category_name}{elseif isset($product_name)}{$product_name}{else}{l s='Hi something'}{/if}

What if you want to output the product category name in product.tpl to get category attribute inserted for schema product and schema offer?

[Denver Prophit Jr.]

I figured it out:

<p id="product_category"><label>{l s='Category:'}</label>
                        <span class="editable" itemprop="category">{$category->name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}</span></p>

The https://schema.org/Product  -> category still isn't being picked up. I have valid markup. I've created an issue at https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/issues/536
