[SOLVED] How to use $smarty vars

[desarrollosdanielec]

Hi,
 
I want to use the product vars in a custom module. In my controller I have this:

<?php
class producttopdfdisplayModuleFrontController extends ModuleFrontController
{
	public function initContent()
	{
		parent::initContent();

		$this->context->smarty->assign(
			array(
				'my_module_name' => Configuration::get('MYMODULE_NAME'),
				'my_module_link' => $this->context->link->getModuleLink('producttopdf', 'display')
			)
		);

		$this->setTemplate('display.tpl');
	}
}

but I can`t use $product->id for example. I need to use the product name, sku, images, description, etc.

Thanks for you time.

you have to pass $product variable to smarty array, something like:

$product = new Product(12);
$this->context->smarty->assign(array(
'my_module_name' => Configuration::get('MYMODULE_NAME'),
'product' => $product,
'my_module_link' => $this->context->link->getModuleLink('producttopdf', 'display')
));

where the 12 is a product ID number you want to display.

Thank you vekia. If I show $product->id I get the product id but don`t happend the same with $product->name or $product->descripction, in this cases I get "Array".

[vekia]

it's because you have to define language

code above was only a simple example, take a look:

$product = new Product(12);

use this:

$product = new Product(12,full,$this->context->language>id);

sorry for the confusion
