$products var from footer.tpl in prestashop 1.4.11

[jimkaprod]

Hi there,

 

sorry for my english...

i've got to work on 1.4.11.

in footer.tpl when i try to do this:

 

<div id="footer">

{$products|@count}

 

In 1.4.11 the result is 0

In 1.5 the result is the right number of items.

Any ideas ?

Thx

Jmi

how you attached this variable to footer section?

by default, there is no products variable.

i started my test with 1.5 and i just add this line in footer.tpl :

 

<div id="footer" class="grid_9 alpha omega clearfix">

{$products|@count}

 

On the front site when i'm on category page, it simply return me the right count of products in the category page.

 

With the 1.4.11 it returns me 0

to be clear of what i'm trying to do, i want to get the products list (ids,prices) from footer tpl when i'm on category page, cart ...

 

Thx

you have to create this variable somewhere in controllers first, then include it to the smarty array.

 

you can use there {$phones|print_r} or also {$vegetables|print_r} - these variables will not work too, because script don't know these variables, the same as {$products}.
