you need to assign group object to smarty array in blockuserinfo module Top Hook

 

'group' => new Group($this->context->customer->id_default_group);

blockuserinfo.php in in hookdisplaytop module, you will see there smarty array, you have to pass this variable to this array

then you will be able to use it in your front office, in blockuserinfo.tpl module

Hi thanks for quick reply 

 

I added "'group' => new Group($this->context->customer->id_default_group);"  to php file 

 

so now its look like this now

 

{

if (!$this->active)

return;

 

$this->smarty->assign(array(

       'cart' => $this->context->cart,

'cart_qties' => $this->context->cart->nbProducts(),

'logged' => $this->context->customer->isLogged(),

'customerName' => ($this->context->customer->logged ? $this->context->customer->firstname.' '.$this->context->customer->lastname : false),

'firstName' => ($this->context->customer->logged ? $this->context->customer->firstname : false),

'lastName' => ($this->context->customer->logged ? $this->context->customer->lastname : false),

'group' => new Group($this->context->customer->id_default_group),

                        'order_process' => Configuration::get('PS_ORDER_PROCESS_TYPE') ? 'order-opc' : 'order'

));

return $this->display(__FILE__, 'blockuserinfo.tpl');

}

 

but i dont know how should i add 'group' to tpl file. this is my tpl

 

<p id="header_user_info">

{if $logged}

<a href="{$link->getPageLink('my-account', true)}" class="account hidden-phone"><span>{$cookie->customer_firstname} {$cookie->customer_lastname}</span></a>

<a href="{$link->getPageLink('index', true, NULL, "mylogout")}" title="{l s='Log me out' mod='blockuserinfo'}" class="logout">{l s='Log out' mod='blockuserinfo'}</a>

{else}

<a id="openloginform">{l s='Log In' mod='blockuserinfo'}</a> {l s='or' mod='blockuserinfo'} <a href="{$link->getPageLink('my-account', true)}" class="login">{l s='Create An Account' mod='blockuserinfo'}</a>

{/if}

</p>

</div>

 

So i tried to make

 

<a href="{$link->getPageLink('my-account', true)}" class="account hidden-phone"><span>{$cookie->id_default_group}</span></a>

 

i made this and

 

<a href="{$link->getPageLink('my-account', true)}" class="account hidden-phone"><span>{$cookie->customer_group}</span></a>

 

 

this.

 

but both are not working..

 

Thanks for helping me and plz help this too..

 

sorry about doing dumb..

[vekia]

you've got no $group variable

 

use this: $group|print_r 

you will see all available variables to use

you need to assign group object to smarty array in blockuserinfo module Top Hook

 

'group' => new Group($this->context->customer->id_default_group);

 

Hi Vekia, where you take this name "id_default_group"? I like to have a list of all the contexts values. Thanks
