Set a Global variable accessible in a my module

[AlainGau]

I created a module with a hook on hookActionCartSave, which work very well. 

 

Then I  created a simple php file in same folder has my module that listent to a POST and I try to save a parameter value in global variable that my hook could get back once the use add something to the cart (i.e. tirgger hookActionCartSave). 

 

 

 

1. My new file (setParam.php) has the following very simple code, it takes the POST parameter 'param1' and put his value in superglobal $_ENV ,   var_dump($_ENV["param1"]); show me that it sets it correctly.  

 

<?php

define('_EXTERNAL_SCRIPT_', 'true');

 

include(dirname(__FILE__).'../../config/config.inc.php');

include(dirname(__FILE__).'../../init.php');

include(dirname(__FILE__).'../../classes/Cookie.php');

 

$_ENV["param1"] = $_POST['param1'];

  var_dump($_ENV["param1"]);

?>

 

2. But then I my module $_ENV is always empty, it seems that $_ENV is not shared or ...??

...

function hookActionCartSave($params) {   

    var_dump($_ENV["param1"]);

}

...

 

I tried with $_COOKIE, $GLOBALS, $_SESSION and I not able to add value to global context from my setParam.php file. 

 

Any idea how I can add value to the current session context from a standalone file that receive a post from the UI (jquery ajax post)?

 

Thanks - Alain

You need use cookies. If you catch some values by ajax, you are executing one script but this is finished, try this in the php file called by ajax:

Context::getContext()->cookie->__set('key_value', $_POST['param1']);

Now get the cookie in the hookActionCartSave:

$this->context->cookie->key_value

hi Cotoko, 

 

I does not recognize the context, I am getting the following error: 

Class 'Context' not found in <b>/presta/modules/mymodule/setParam.php

 

What am I missing to get the context? I have included the config, init and cookies....

 

I am running PS 1.6

Hi, can you please help me? I have module, where I asign few variables

 

$settings = array(

'var1' => (Configuration::get('VAR1')), 

'var2' => (Configuration::get('VAR2'));

$this -> context -> smarty -> assign('vars', $settings);

 

and then use it in tpl files like this: 

{$vars.var1}

 

It works. And now the problem:

I need to use some vars in the product-list.tpl, so after filter or sorting - vars become undefined, I think because of ajax content reload.

Can you tell what code I should use to define these vars as cookies vars, and how to call it in product-list.tpl ? Thank you in advance.
