Presta module and global variables

[Martinez066]

Hello

I wanted to create a simple module that lets me to check the manufacturer of the product, if it is the same as entered in the module that displays additional information for a given product(for example additional image). The module works on the first page of category, as I walk to the next page module variables $our_text,$our_text1 are empty

in module i have:

public function getContent() {
    if(Tools::isSubmit('submit_text')) {
      Configuration::updateValue(
              $this->name.'_text_to_show',
              Tools::getValue('the_text')
              );
     Configuration::updateValue(
              $this->name.'_text_to_show1',
              Tools::getValue('the_text1')
             );

           $this->_clearCache('fashion.tpl');  
    }
                                                                                                
    $this->_generateForm();
    return $this->_html;
}
private function _generateForm() {
                                                                                                
    $textToShow=Configuration::get($this->name.'_text_to_show');
    $textToShow1=Configuration::get($this->name.'_text_to_show1');
    $this->_html .= '<form action="'.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].'" method="post">';
   
    $this->_html .= '<div class="margin-form">';
    $this->_html .= '<input type="text" name="the_text" value="'.$textToShow.'" ><br>';
    $this->_html .= '<input type="text" name="the_text1" value="'.$textToShow1.'" ><br>';
    $this->_html .= '<input type="submit" name="submit_text" ';
    $this->_html .= 'value="'.$this->l('Submit').'" class="button" />';
    $this->_html .= '</div>';
    $this->_html .= '</form>';
}

    function hookLeftColumn($params)
    {
        global $smarty;
        if (!$this->isCached('fashion.tpl', $this->getCacheId()))
            $smarty->assign(array(
                'our_text' => Configuration::get('_text_to_show'),
                'our_text1' => Configuration::get('_text_to_show1'),
            ));
        return $this->display(__FILE__, 'fashion.tpl');
    }

in product-list.tpl i have

{if ($product.manufacturer_name == {$our_text})||($product.manufacturer_name == {$our_text1})}
                    <span id="manufacturer"></span>
                    {/if}

I'll be grateful for the help

Yes,

Suggesting that this link

http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/329040-how-to-pass-smarty-variable-in-other-modules-js-file/

In frontcontroller i added

$smarty->assign(array(
                'our_text' => Configuration::get('_text_to_show'),
                'our_text1' => Configuration::get('_text_to_show1')
              
            ));

and in header.tpl added

var our_text = {$our_text};
var our_text1 = {$our_text1};

 

It working but in firebug i see

SyntaxError: syntax error

  var our_text1 = ;

 

I also noticed that I have two types of links generated category on next pages, most category have link #/page-7 and then module doesnt working before changes in frontcontroller and p=24 then module was working.
