Parse module variable in multiple templates / Search "Enter"

Hello,

I came to support forums as I have 2 issues with my personal opencart 1.5.1 shop.
One of them is as follows:

I have a module (Facebook Connect) that parses an URL into its template (fbconnect.tpl) in this way: <?php echo $fbconnect_url; ?>

If i echo this structure in my "header.tpl" for instance, it won't work.
Any ideas how can I make it parse in that template?

And another issue is with my top search. When I click the magnifier icon, it works, but when I press "Enter" key, it doesn't.
Can you help me to fix this?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Lightball

You would need to go to your catalog/controller/common/header.php file to define a:
Change: your_fb_object to what your facebook object would originally points to.

Thank you ! That worked . Any idea about the search issue?

I don't remember the fix, but it is a known problem. If you search the forums you should be able to find a thread that tells how to fix the search with enter.

I was searching many times in the forums but unfortunately I just couldn't find any result, but one regarding the old version of OC (1.4.0).
If you could help me, that would be cool.

Thank you,
Lightball

but one regarding the old version of OC (1.4.0).

Could you specify where exactly is this feature release ? Even for OC 1.4.0, it still be can be adapted with 1.5.x releases with a few modifications.

My header.tpl does not contain any javascript for search key, that's what I mean.

<?php
class ControllerModulefbconnect extends Controller {
protected function index($setting) {

$this->language->load('module/fbconnect');
$this->data['heading_title'] = $this->language->get('heading_title');

if(!$this->customer->isLogged()){

if(!isset($this->fbconnect)){
require_once(DIR_SYSTEM . 'vendor/facebook-sdk/facebook.php');
$this->fbconnect = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => $this->config->get('fbconnect_apikey'),
'secret' => $this->config->get('fbconnect_apisecret'),
));
}

$this->data['fbconnect_url'] = $this->fbconnect->getLoginUrl(
array(
'scope' => 'email,user_birthday,user_location,user_hometown',
'redirect_uri' => $this->url->link('account/fbconnect', '', 'SSL')
)
);

if($this->config->get('fbconnect_button_' . $this->config->get('config_language_id'))){
$this->data['fbconnect_button'] = html_entity_decode($this->config->get('fbconnect_button_' . $this->config->get('config_language_id')));
}
else $this->data['fbconnect_button'] = $this->language->get('heading_title');

if (file_exists(DIR_TEMPLATE . $this->config->get('config_template') . '/template/module/fbconnect.tpl')) {
$this->template = $this->config->get('config_template') . '/template/module/fbconnect.tpl';
} else {
$this->template = 'default/template/module/fbconnect.tpl';
}

$this->render();
}

}
}
?>
controller> my header

catalog view > header

<?php echo $fbconnect_url; ?> not working ?
