[SOLVED] Adding Cms Content To Homepage

[Snamor]

Hi!

 

I'm trying to add a CMS content in the homepage. What I want is some content, that can be managed through the CMS module, under the slider and over the featured products in the homepage.

 

Is there a way to do this using the default Prestashop 1.5 modules or do I need to develop a new one?

 

Thanks!

I've done this on my site. The text appears under the slider module, but can be edited in the cms section.

 

Add this to the php file of the module which is loaded, in my case tmnivoslider:

global $cookie;
					$cms = new CMS(7, intval($cookie->id_lang));
					if (Validate::isLoadedObject($cms))
					$smarty->assign('content', $cms->content);

 

where "7" is the ID of my CMS page. Then add

{$content}

 

to the TPL file where you want the text to appear. Now you can change the text via the CMS page editor.

Great! It's working!

 

Thank you so much!

Is there a way of doing this (in 1.5.4) on the contact page (or any page) rather than in a module? I tried adding the same code to the override contact controller file and it didn't work.

Well, you can achievie this with:

 

edit contact controllers (add to smarty array CMS object with page you want to display) then in contact.tpl file use simple if condition to show content only if you browsing certain page (id_cms=5 id_cms=8 etc.).
