Include footer and header in custom .php file

[espacious]

Hi,

in Prestashop 1.6 i had some "promo" pages made in .php and i was able to "insert" the header and footer in this way:

$font=new FrontController();
    $font->setMedia();
    $font->displayHeader();

<footer>
<?php
  $font->displayFooter();
?>
</footer>

Now i migrated some sites to 1.7.6 and the footer is not displayed anymore, neither the header.

I wrote a "static" footer.php and header.php and did:

<?php include('somefolder/footer.php');

<- this is working but it's "static" i mean, if i change sth. in the menu i have always to go to header.php and change manualy those things.

How can i include header and footer in my .php file like in 1.6 ?

I know it would be better to write a module but this is not possible at the moment due to lack of time.

Thanks.

Do you have .tpl files for your pages? If yes extending the layout.tpl there should do the job.

No. That's the problem i dont use templates ...

I'm searching for a solution without using templates. I know it's not the best way but for now it's easyer.

Hmm ndiaga will this work on Presta 1.7.6.x, since i read that is compatible only with 1.6?
