Module can't assign the values to template file?

[prestashop_newuser]

Hi,

I am just newbie to prestashop. I am doing a module. In that the module install part is

 

public function install()
 {
   if(!parent::install())
     return false;
   if (!$this->registerHook('leftColumn'))
     return false;
   if (!$this->registerHook('header'))
     return false;
   if (!$this->registerHook('rightColumn'))
     return false;
}

 

In that module I have done add, edit and delete for store contact info. Now I have a function named as public function hookHome($params) where I have assigned smart file(.tpl) with the module name and I want to show that tpl file should come in home page. for that I have my function is like this

 

 public function hookHome($params)
 {
   $defaultLanguage = (int)(Configuration::get('PS_LANG_DEFAULT'));
   global $cookie, $smarty;
   $sql_select="SELECT DISTINCT country_name,country_ISO from "._DB_PREFIX_."storeinfo where status='1'";
      $value=Db::getInstance()->ExecuteS($sql_select);
      print_r($result);

     while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
     {
     $value[] = $row;
 }
      $smarty->assign('array',$value);
      $smarty->assign('default',$defaultLanguage);
    return $this->display(__FILE__, 'storeinfo.tpl');
 }

 

But here I can't able to send the values to .tpl file. Can someone kindly tell me what's the issue here?

so you wanted to say that variables:

{$array}

{$default}

don't work in your theme file?

 

 

can you put there {debug} and then you will see popup with all available variables in the .tpl file

your new variables appear on the list?

[prestashop_newuser]

yes..can you tell me how to debug the values in template file?

just put into your template file {debug} variable

[prestashop_newuser]

just put into your template file {debug} variable

 

No its not showing anything.. I just did {$array|@print_r}

[vekia]

okay, but in this case |print_r only show the contents of the variable. If there is no contents - then it will show nothing.

What i wanted is to check if this variable is defined. In this case, you need to use {debug} - you will see all smarty template variables, even if they are empty.

 

hope that you understand my point of view

Yes I understand that and I used {debug} in my .tpl file but it did not showed anything...I think my tpl file is not properly assigned with home page?

[vekia]

it's because in your install function:

if(!parent::install())
return false;
if (!$this->registerHook('leftColumn'))
return false;
if (!$this->registerHook('header'))
return false;
if (!$this->registerHook('rightColumn'))
return false;
}

 

you don't have registerhook('home')
