php editing the tpl page

[jbmd]

Hi, I would like to add some php code in cms.tpl file ... like echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; and do not know how.

 

the php coding there is not what I am used to

 

For example when I want to have this:

 

<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>

 

it showes on pages as normal text

 

 

The original formatting of php code in cms.tpl is something like this

 

{$cms->content}

 

or this

 

{if isset($cms) && $cms->id != $cgv_id}

 

but when I put this:

{ echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; }

it results in text again. I am desperate

 

PS: talking about formatting or execution od php code in cms.tpl

to add php code in smarty template files (tpl) you must add code between {php} {/php} tags, exactly as I show below:

 

{php}
 echo 'This will be sent to browser';
{/php}

 

 

you can also do what you want without smarty {php}{/php} tags, how? just look, example attached below displays SERVER_NAME variable from $_SERVER array

 

{$smarty.server.SERVER_NAME}

I am afraid none of it worked. Moreover placing one or the other code resulted in disapearing of right column in Prestashop.

 

I just wanted to insert custom code (google map) to one cms page (not a contact form).

give your code and i try to fix it. it is not possible that the code I gave does not work properly, the problem must be with something else

after displaying errors - on in php.ini -> no statement was shown. I am giving up I will just put image map instead of google one.

 

I can tell you I work with Joomla and it is such a great system to modify!

here is a tutorial about turning on error reporting in prestashop.

 

i don't know what code you use to insert google maps, and how you do it...

 

 

here is an example code of tpl file with google maps code, which works properly:

I've added {$smarty.server} example too

 

<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2&key=ABQIAAAAnfs7bKE82qgb3Zc2YyS-oBT2yXp_ZAY8_ufC3CFXhHIE1NvwkxSySz_REpPq-4WZA27OwgbtyR3VcA" type="text/javascript"></script>
<div id="map" style="width: 500px; height: 500px"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
 var lat=52.17393169256846;
 var lng=18.8525390625;
 var zoom=6;
 function loadgmap() {
   if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
	 var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
	 map.setCenter(new GLatLng(lat, lng), zoom);
   }
 }  
$(document).ready(function() {
 loadgmap();
});	
</script>
