Php in tpl files?

[falkenbergweb]

I need to make one of the .tpl files print out some php code. I have read that Prestashop by default and for security reasons has turned off the ability to use {php} {/php}, so that is not the way. I know that it probably would be optimal to use smarty tags and the code inside the .php files and send it to the .tpl files. But i have no idea to use smarty. Maybe a simple example how to write some php code and make it print through the tpl file would be a solution.

 

Tnx

You might be able to enable {php}, or alternatively, use {include} which functions just like PHP's include function.

I tried the following but couldn't get inserting php inside a tpl template file able to work:

 

I create a test.php file with a simple

echo('Hello World!');

and placed it in my root directory.

 

At the end of my theme's footer.tpl I tried to add:

 

{ include file="../test.php" }

 

{ include file="http://domain.com/test.php" }

 

{ include_php file="../test.php" }

 

{ include_php file="http://domain.com/test.php" }

 

 

{php}
include('http://domain.com/test.php');}
{/php}

 

 

{php}
include('../test.php');}
{/php}

 

 

I even went into smarty.config.inc.php in the config folder and added

$smarty->allow_php_tag = true;

 

Any suggestions on what I could be doing wrong?

PrestaShop has disabled php in tpl files for security reasons.

Thanks for the update. Do you think it's possible to add a modify or override the IndexController.php file to include a function that can call for a PHP file then calling this function in the tpl file? If yes, how would I do this?

hai there is any way to execute a tpl file with out php

[vekia]

it's agains MVC model which is a part of idea of smarty and prestashop.

 

you can include tpl file from other .tpl file

but of course in "background" will be always some controller that handles first .tpl file

 

 

what you exactly trying to achieve?
