please explain this code, params array

[emideli]

i am reading ps dev book, and on the topic of creating frontcontrollers with SEO friendly URL, i am not understanding the purpose of following code

 

{assign var=params value=[

'module_action' => 'list',

'id_product'=> $smarty.get.id_product

]}

 

why are we creating params array and what is module_action

 

----

 

full code

 

<div class="rte">

{assign var=params value=[

'module_action' => 'list',

'id_product'=> $smarty.get.id_product

]}

<a href="{$link->getModuleLink('mymodcomments', 'comments',

$params)}">

{l s='See all comments' mod='mymodcomments'}

</a>

</div>

 

 

thanks

Below code is used to create (assign) a smarty variable $params so that you can this in code after that,

{assign var=params value=[
'module_action' => 'list',
'id_product'=> $smarty.get.id_product
]}

module_action is one of the keys of value of $params  

 

so you can access it like $params['module_action'] and the value should 'list'

• thanks, can you point out any tutorial or explain the use of module actions, whey they are used and for what purpose....

No idea where is your sample code comes from and for what purpose.

It seems used to pass a parameters to module hook. You can define and pass any parameters you want.

Who knows what the author was trying to do with that sample code.

You should find out from the book you are reading?
