[solved] Add PHP code to blocktopmenu

[Woolwich]

Hello!

 

How can I add following code to the module blocktopmenu? Should I create a new module or edit blocktopmenu.php?

 

$url = 'http://graph.facebook.com/google';
echo json_decode(file_get_contents($url))->{'likes'};

 

My PHP knowledge is very limited.

add php code to the blocktopmenu.php file

 

what you exactly want to do?

I want to show number of likes in the top menu. I have never worked with tpl files and Prestashop before and my PHP knowledge is very limited so I'm very confused. The code that I posted in the first post works, the question is just how to get it to the blocktopmenu.tpl.

[vekia]

so the main questions is which version of prestashop you use?

i prepared it for 1.5.x versions:

 

you must paste first function before the public function hookDisplayTop($param)

 

and replace public function hookDisplayTop($param) by function that i pasted below

 

public function getlikes(){
    $url = 'http://graph.facebook.com/google';
    return json_decode(file_get_contents($url))->{'likes'};
}


public function hookDisplayTop($param)
{
 $this->user_groups =  ($this->context->customer->isLogged() ? $this->context->customer->getGroups() : array(Configuration::get('PS_UNIDENTIFIED_GROUP')));
 $this->page_name = Dispatcher::getInstance()->getController();
 $smarty_cache_id = 'blocktopmenu-'.$this->page_name.'-'.(int)$this->context->shop->id.'-'.implode(', ',$this->user_groups).'-'.(int)$this->context->language->id.'-'.(int)Tools::getValue('id_category').'-'.(int)Tools::getValue('id_manufacturer').'-'.(int)Tools::getValue('id_supplier').'-'.(int)Tools::getValue('id_cms').'-'.(int)Tools::getValue('id_product');
 $this->context->smarty->cache_lifetime = 31536000;
 Tools::enableCache();
 if (!$this->isCached('blocktopmenu.tpl', $smarty_cache_id))
 {
  $this->makeMenu();
  $this->smarty->assign('MENU_SEARCH', Configuration::get('MOD_BLOCKTOPMENU_SEARCH'));
  $this->smarty->assign('MENU', $this->_menu);
  $this->smarty->assign('this_path', $this->_path);

 }
    $this->smarty->assign('likes',$this->getlikes());   
 $this->context->controller->addJS($this->_path.'js/hoverIntent.js');
 $this->context->controller->addJS($this->_path.'js/superfish-modified.js');
 $this->context->controller->addCSS($this->_path.'css/superfish-modified.css');
 $html = $this->display(__FILE__, 'blocktopmenu.tpl', $smarty_cache_id);
 Tools::restoreCacheSettings();
 return $html;
}

 

next in template file blocktopmenu.tpl you can put {$likes} anywhere you want
