Accessing to JavaScript element from TPL in PHP

[Theo13]

Hello,

 

I'm creating a module on Prestashop, and I have a really basic question. I have a TPL file, in which I get a JavaScript object when the users clicks on a button.

 

I want to get this Object in PHP to create a new Prestashop article with the informations of this Object.

But I know it is wrong to call PHP inside of a TPL file.

 

Is my architecture wrong? Is there some option to call my PHP function with this Object as a parameter when I click on my button?

 

Any help would be really appreciated!

Thanks!

hello

javascripts will not work in php

 

in tpl file you need to create <form> with <input type submit> button

then, in module php controller you will be able to get variables from <form> as a $_POST array (via Tools::getValue('Param') function)

Okay, I understand how to do that. But how do I call the specific function of my module I want when clicking on the submit button?

in your module file, in your hook function, if the input name is "your_value":

public function hookDisplayYourContent($params) {

  $your_value = Tools::getValue('your_value')
    if(!empty($your_value) {
      //do something....
  }
}

or use ajax in your tpl...
