[SOLVED] Pass product name to a custom template file?

[Teapot Creative]

HI

 

I am creating a custom module and need to pass the product name to a form value within the template file.

 

What code do I need in my .tpl and module .php file to achieve this?

 

Thanks in advance

Nick

In your php file:

$this->context->smarty->assign(array(
            'languages' => $languages,
            'my_variable' => $some_variable
));

return $this->display(__file__, 'views/template/front/my_view.tpl'); 

and in my_view.tpl:

{capture name=path}{l s='Test'}{/capture}
{include file="$tpl_dir./breadcrumb.tpl"}

<h2>{l s='My Title' mod='mymodule'}</h2>
{if !empty($my_variable)}
<p>{l s='This is my variable' mod='mymodule'} : {$my_variable}</p>
{/if}

Hi

 

Is it put within the "public function __construct()" in the .php file?

Hi

Is this assigned correctly?

 

public function hookdisplayLeftColumnProduct($params)

{

 

$this->context->smarty->assign(array($product = new Product($id_product, false, $id_lang),

$product->name,

 

));

 

  

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

} 

[Eolia]

No...

public function hookdisplayLeftColumnProduct($params)
{
    $id_product = Tools::getValue('id_product');
    $product = new Product($id_product, false, $id_lang);
    $this->context->smarty->assign(array(
              'name' => $product->name,
 
               ));
 
  
  return $this->display(__FILE__, 'my_tpl.tpl');
} 

and in your my_tpl.tpl use the {$name} variable

Thanks for that... I have added the code but just get the word "Array" in the front end where I have used  variable {$name}

 

Thanks again for your help.. looks like its almost there..

 

Any ideas why its just resulting in the word Array instead of the product title?

Yes, because you load each name in all languages ...

if you want to display only the product name in the current language,  use:

$this->context = Context::getContext();
$product = new Product($id_product, false,$this->context->language->id);
