How to put customer custom fields in the index.tpl ?

[missill]

Hello everybody,

 

I'd like to put custom fields of customer with custom fields plugin in the index.tpl.

 

Do i override IndexController or Customer class and how to affect value ?

 

Thanks for helping me.

I think you will need to override Customer class so that you will be able to handle the new custom fields.

 

then use the customer object to load data and then display in your index.tpl via Smarty variable or $this->context->customer in IndexController.php

Hi shokinro and thanks to answer me !

 

I tried to do what you recommend me and it works fine !!!

 

I overrided Customer class and added a new function to get my new custom field value from the database.

 

In my index.tpl, i do this :

{assign var='myvariable' value=Context::getContext()->customer->getMyvariable()}

I could assign my variable directly from my class Customer in a smarty variable.

 

I don't know what the best solution but it works

 

Thanks.

I am glad the problem is resolved. thanks for update

yes you are right you can also assign variables via theme file, it does not matter. It is just personal preference to do that in PHP or theme file.
