Create a custom page with a custom template

[Rest95]

Hi,
I want to create a new page on my site and add a specific template , ie with different columns of the rest of the site and a slideshow but not yet properly etendi how can anyone explain me how can I create a specific layout for a page?

The easiest way is to do it with a module: http://nemops.com/creating-new-pages-in-prestashop/#.VSj6gPnQqr0

See the setTemplate part.

 

Otherwise, create a new controller in the controllers/ folder, then add the template file to your template folder, using the same $this->setTemplate()

Ho nice, but I wanted to make a query about a specific product category? with this code i can display all products.

 

$products_partial = Product::getProducts($this->context->language->id, 0, 5, 'name', 'asc');

$products = Product::getProductsProperties($this->context->language->id, $products_partial);

$this->context->smarty->assign(array( 'products' => $products, 'homeSize' => Image::getSize('home_default') )); 

 

how can i do it with this query??

Oh in that case use $category->getProducs(); on a category object

Ref:

 

public function getProducts($id_lang, $p, $n, $order_by = null, $order_way = null, $get_total = false, $active = true, $random = false, $random_number_products = 1, $check_access = true, Context $context = null)

So, i was using that:

 

$products_partial = Product::getProducts($this->context->language->id, 0, 5, 'name', 'asc');

$products = Product::getProductsProperties($this->context->language->id, $products_partial);

$this->context->smarty->assign(array( 'products' => $products, 'homeSize' => Image::getSize('home_default') )); 

 

and now you are saying to change the code to:

 

public function initContent()

    {        

 

parent::initContent();

 

$category->getProducs($id_lang,0,5);

$this->setTemplate('deign10.tpl');

    }

 

public function getProducts($id_lang, $p, $n, $order_by = null, $order_way = null, $get_total = false, $active = true, $random = false, $random_number_products = 1, $check_access = true, Context $context = null)

}

 

 

i didnt get it... 

I'm used to working with SQL queries, for me it is easier to understand. can give me a help in this role? I'm doing something wrong, I get it, but still do not understand how this works.

No no, That last one was for your reference
 

parent::initContent();

 

$category->getProducs($id_lang,0,5);

$this->setTemplate('deign10.tpl');

    }

That's almost correct, just add $category = new Category(1);
before, and use your category id instead of 1. Remember to also use $this->context->smarty->assign

Just get a blank page   

 

Even loads the template

 

parent::initContent();

$category = new Category(20);

$category->getProducs($id_lang,0,5);

$this->context->smarty->assign;

$this->setTemplate('deign10.tpl');

 

I am doing something wrong...

[NemoPS]

definitely

$this->context->smarty->assign;

This is a method, not a property

$this->context->smarty->assign('something', $variable);

[Rest95]

definitely

 

$this->context->smarty->assign;

 

This is a method, not a property

 

$this->context->smarty->assign('something', $variable);

 

Anyway, still print a blank page :| i will past all the class.

 

Class testmoduleAllproductsModuleFrontController extends ModuleFrontController

{

public function init()

{

    $this->page_name = 'Design 10'; // page_name and body id

$this->display_footer = false;

$this->display_column_left = false;

$this->display_header = false;

$this->display_column_right = false;

    parent::init();

}   

 

public function initContent()

    {        

parent::initContent();

$id_lang = Configuration::get('PS_LANG_DEFAULT');

$category = new Category(20);

$category->getProducs($id_lang,0,5);

 

$this->context->smarty->assign('category_design10',$category);

$this->setTemplate('design10.tpl');

    }

 

 

}

[NemoPS]

Always turn on error reporting when developing It will tell you what's wront

 

apart from that, you are not getting products

 

$products = $category->getProducs($id_lang,0,5);
and 

$this->context->smarty->assign('category_design10',$products);

[Rest95]

hahaha... i'm so dumb jesus... 

now it works...

Really thanks man... you save my day

 

but, to print products in tpl file i can use the code like in product-list.tpl?
 

{if isset($products)}
    <!-- Products list -->
    <ul id="product_list" class="clear">
    {foreach from=$products item=product name=products}
        <li class="ajax_block_product {if $smarty.foreach.products.first}first_item{elseif $smarty.foreach.products.last}last_item{/if} {if $smarty.foreach.products.index % 2}alternate_item{else}item{/if} clearfix">
            <div class="left_block">
                {if isset($comparator_max_item) && $comparator_max_item}

                        <label for="comparator_item_{$product.id_product}">{l s='Select to compare'}</label>

You can, if you use the correct variable name, so if you call them category_design10, you have to use foreach from=$category_design10 ...
