The global $page_name in blocktopmenu

[NemoPS]

Hi,

i've noticed there is a variable called "$page_name" in the code of the top navigation menu, but this variable (global) is empty everywhere. Is this something planned for the next prestashop version? Or is $page_name set somewhere, like in frontcontroller or so?

It is set in the FrontController and is also available to be assigned to any controller extending the FrontController.

 

Usually it's set like this in your php class variable section:

 

public $php_self = 'whatever_page_name_you_want.php';

Uhm, ok, so i found it in the frontcontroller, but it's not available overall (not in modules at least), so was it just an error it was placed as global in the top navigation?

how to get the title category, where the id = 5

It has been around for a while now. I use a lot of times to load stylesheets and other things I might only need on the index page.

{if $page_name == 'index'}
<script type="text/javascript">
   var yiw_prettyphoto_style = 'pp_default';
</script>
{else}
{/if}

Like this.
