[SOLVED] module if statement in controller

[cocodeluxe]

Hi and thanks for the support

 

I've been watching this code in this tutorial

http://nemops.com/page-specific-prestashop-module/#.U2uiz_l_uAW

if('category' != $this->context->controller->php_self)
    return false;

and I would need to know if there is a conditional determined for a category id or something

 

 

thanks and regards

You should look at Dispatcher.php class

You should look at Dispatcher.php class

Thanks for the comment

 

sorry I've been looking but I need something more specific to start

[cocodeluxe]

Nemo show me the light

Tools::getValue('id_category') == THE_ONE_TO_CHECK

I made the statement in this way but not work 

 

public function hookDisplayBanner($params)
{ 
       if ( Tools::getValue('id_category') == 4 $this->context->controller->php_self) 




             return false;
return $this->hookDisplayTop($params);
}

What can I do with this ?

 

 

thanks

if ( Tools::getValue('id_category') == 4 $this->context->controller->php_self) 

this statement is wrong.

 

 

use this one instead:

if ( Tools::getValue('id_category') == 4 ) 

it means "if id_category=4 then do sometihng"

 

or use this one

if ( Tools::getValue('id_category') != 4 ) 

if id category is not 4 then do something

very thanks vekia

I tried this conditional to display the contents of a module in a single category

 

in this way, blocklinks module

 

public function hookLeftColumn($params) { 
if ( Tools::getValue('id_category') != 4 ) 


            return false; 
}


$links = $this->getLinks();


$this->smarty->assign(array(
'blocklink_links' => $links,
'title' => Configuration::get('PS_BLOCKLINK_TITLE', $this->context->language->id),
'url' => Configuration::get('PS_BLOCKLINK_URL'),
'lang' => 'text_'.$this->context->language->id
));
if (!$links)
return false;


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

it´s right?

Any review please

[vekia]

hello,

it's wrong. you missed open bracket after if condition.

 

 

let me know something

you want to display something when category id = 4 

or you want to display something when category id is not equal to 4 ?

Only display in category id =4

 

 

Thanks

[vekia]

so you have to use this:
 

public function hookLeftColumn($params) {
if (isset($_GET['id_category'])){
 if (Tools::getValue('id_category') == 4){
   $links = $this->getLinks();
   $this->smarty->assign(array(
   'blocklink_links' => $links,
   'title' => Configuration::get('PS_BLOCKLINK_TITLE', $this->context->language->id),
   'url' => Configuration::get('PS_BLOCKLINK_URL'),
   'lang' => 'text_'.$this->context->language->id
  ));
  if (!$links)
  return false;
  return $this->display(__FILE__, 'blocklink.tpl');
  }
}
}

Very thanks vekia

and to exclude a category id.:?

 

 

Thanks again

[vekia]

what you mean? you want to not run this code when someone browse category (category you want to exclude) ?

[cocodeluxe]

I wanted to say that the content appears in all least one , for example excluided category id =5. I said before about a !=5 and return false or something

 

 

 

 

in the above example I can use multiple ids. 4,5, 6. ?

 

if (Tools::getValue('id_category') == 4)

 

 

 

 

Very thanks

[vekia]

code above will display content only on category page == 4

 

if you want to HIDE it only on category == 5 just use !=5 instead of ==5

 

and yes, you can use many conditions there

if ($something == 1 || $something2==2 || $something3 == 3){
do something
}

|| means "OR"

[cocodeluxe]

the lesson is over

 

Very thanks master

[vekia]

sorry for reopen

it´s posible this:

 if (Tools::getValue('id_category') == 3 ||('id_category') == 4){

[Krystian Podemski]

Hello,

 

The best way to do this is this code because there is no need to use isset for notice errors etc.

 

public function hookLeftColumn($params) {

$categoriesArray = array(3,4,5,6,8,9);
$currentCategory = Tools::getValue('id_category', 0);

if(in_array($currentCategory, $categoriesArray)
{
   $links = $this->getLinks();
   $this->smarty->assign(array(
   'blocklink_links' => $links,
   'title' => Configuration::get('PS_BLOCKLINK_TITLE', $this->context->language->id),
   'url' => Configuration::get('PS_BLOCKLINK_URL'),
   'lang' => 'text_'.$this->context->language->id
  ));
  if (!$links)
  return false;
  return $this->display(__FILE__, 'blocklink.tpl');
}
}

With this code i have a

[cocodeluxe]

 

this code is wrong, code below is proper one

 if (Tools::getValue('id_category') == 3 || Tools::getValue('id_category') == 4){

Like a charm

 

 

very thanks again

[Krystian Podemski]

Oh, read the warnings,

 

there is one ) missed here:

 

if(in_array($currentCategory, $categoriesArray)

 

should be

 

if(in_array($currentCategory, $categoriesArray))

 

this code is much cleaner and easier to manage
