Grab a variable from a controller within a module

[Chillax86]

Hi,

 

I would like to know how to grab the 'meta_title' variable from a cms page/controller from within a module. Is there an easy way to do this without modifying the core code. Even if it means grabbing the id of the cms page being displayed and rebuilding the variable from the database as I then want to assign it to a smarty variable.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

If you know the ID of the CMS page then you can create a CMS object and get the meta_title from it, for example:

$cms = new CMS($id);
$this->context->smarty->assign('metaTitle', $cms->meta_title);
