Passing variable value to Smarty from an Action Hook

[Coluccini]

Hi,

I've created an module to add some logic to the actionCartSave hook, is there a way to pass a smarty variable to be used within shopping-cart.tpl after the logic was applied?

Thanks!

it's not possible to pass variables from Action hooks to .tpl files, it's because these hooks dont use template files, these hooks are "invisible"

mhmm ok.

 

I'm using actionCartSave hook to remove a product from the cart if some other (specific) product it added to the cart as well and, if that happens, I want to show a message to the user telling him that the product was remove. How do you thing it is the best way to achieve this?

There a way to execute a display hook from an action hook? I mean, check for a condition in the action hook and if necessary run a display hook so something it is render in the smarty template or something like that
