product name not working in tpl file

[kuldeepchitrakar]

HI

 

I have created a sample module and want to display product category name and product name on the tab.

 

<h1>{$category->name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</h1>

 

displays the category name but

 

 

<h1>{$product.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</h1>\

 

 

does not show anything. Just blank.

 

Whats wring with the above code.

WHere are you trying to display this, exactly? If one the product page, you must use $product->name. Otherwise, it depends on how the product variable is assigned

[vekia]

can you show your code, where you have got $product variable definition? (in your module .php core)

Actually I want to pass the category name and product name to a one of the function which shows prices of product. to test this I was trying to print category name and product name.

 

I want to display this on product page in a tab.

 

 

Here is the linke to sample website: http://www.tawlar.com/index.php?id_product=1&controller=product

 

 

here is the code

 

<div id="belvg_product_tab"> 

    {*call the content, sent by producttab.php script to this template :*}

    {$contant}

<table id="priceTable"></table>

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.test.com/compare.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function(){

initComparison('{$category->name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}','{$product.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}','testu','testp');

});</script>

 

<h1>{$category->name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</h1>

<h1>{$product.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</h1>

</div>

In this case, as it's the product page, use $product->name

Hi

 

I changed it to but still it does not work. I recompiled the tpl file and set the cache to to no but no success.

 

<h1>{$product->name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</h1>

Are you sure the name is filled in for the chosen language? Which is the tpl file you are editing? It must be loaded after the product controller in order to work

Hi

 

I am using module code from this link

 

http://blog.belvg.com/developer-tips-creating-a-tab-on-the-frontend-product-page-in-prestashop.html

 

and I have added my contents in the 

 

productTabContent.tpl.

 

I hope its correct.

That was for 1.4 it seems, what's your prestashop version? It should be fine anyway. 

 

On 1.5, on that hook, this

 

{$product|debug_print_var}

 

Returns all product data, so it should work
