Use module in all template

[Skayfer]

Hi,

 

I make my module with own text field. In conf page i have 3 text input, and in module .tpl i can use it., but now, i would like can use variables and function from my module in all template. My module should be availability like front controller.

 

Maybe i need make function in my module that can copy code to front controller ?

 

Thanks for answers.

so you mean is you want to get value from 3 inputs, then use them in all template files?

you can do it:

- hook to displayHeader

- in this hook use $this->context->smarty->assign for send variables to template, so you can use there variables for any TPL file in template because this is global.

remember us $this->context->smarty->assign 

NOT $this->smarty->assign

Hi taydotech

 

Maybe it have sense.

 

Before i only write something in front controller (function) and result print with 'echo'. In template i use

{FrontController::function123()}

or write module,  create variable with hook function

'var' => Configuration::get('VAR'),

, but second way work only in module template.

 

I make what you say, add module to hook header, but what is next ? I still can't use variables outside module template. Now i can only make separate function for each variable ? How can i display result this function ? And how you taydotech display function results ? With echo ?

 

Thanks for answer and patience

 

 

PS

 

 

I used excatly in left hook function

$this->context->smarty->assign(     array(
         'my_module_name' => Configuration::get('MYMODULE_NAME'),
)
);

 

but i can use it only in my module tpl, i cant use it for example in block categories in left column.

 

 

 

PS2

 

 

I have below 

 

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

maybe this restrict display my variables ?

Hey

 

I copy code

$this->context->smarty->assign(     array

to hook header function, reset module and works great

 

But i still have question why when i have this code assign to left column it not works in all left column ?
