hi.
well the main reason I'm avoiding changes to the product file is because I don't want to change the original files.

so I'm looking for alternatives for that.

I used your tutorial to create the static page.
I have static file in
catalog/model
catalog/controller
I have the static.tpl and the language files.

if I call static page directly in the browser the page works fine.

but I want to load stuff from those files in product page.

that I've been having a hard time to get gone.

I tried added a include for my static page in product.tpl
the result was getting to getting two complete pages in each other. two headers two footers etc.
I figure that I can controll that by chancing my static.tpl file not to load header and footer etc.
but in the example above when I called static from product.tpl the functions in static.php were not run. all I got were programming errors.

how can I load my static model and controller files to work in product page?

its a little confusing I suppose. hope you understand. :-)

if you don't wish to directly modify your files, you can use vQmod. To add in the static to product, edit catalog/controller/product/product.php

find

Code: Select all

$this->children = array(
				'common/column_left',
				'common/column_right',
				'common/content_top',
				'common/content_bottom',
				'common/footer',
				'common/header'
			);

and change it to

Code: Select all

$this->children = array(
				'common/column_left',
				'common/column_right',
				'common/content_top',
				'common/content_bottom',
				'common/footer',
				'common/header'
				'information/static'
			);

you can call for static in product.tpl with <?php echo $static; ?> but make sure you change the route of the codes I gave you accordingly.

Hello MarketInSG.
Thanks for the custom page help.
Ive seen you've been helping a lot of guys out here.
Can you please give me a hand of what ive been working on.
I made this static page from your tutorial already. (credits and acknowledgement to you.)
Now I want to put several products on it. Or maybe a manufacturer link so that it would be easier.
Can I integrate this to the page?
I know this would be a piece of cake for you.
Please let me know!
Thanks!

I am trying to add a new page to the main heading but it is not appearing. I have created the 3 files and uploaded.
I have a theme applied to my site so do I need to change anything?

I created static.php in controller/information folder
I created static.tpl in catalog/view/theme/nicole-shop/template/information
I created static.php in catalog/english/information

Is that correct?

I found this

Is there any way to create a single page, which shows latest products (this is my entry page in my webshop)? I have solution for 1.4, but I don't think it would work in 1.5.x.

Posted: **Tue Nov 20, 2012 9:03 am**

call for the model file and load the latest products

Code: Select all

$this->load->model('catalog/product');
$this->data['products'] = $this->model_catalog_product->getLastestProducts(10)

then add it to your template file

I came upon this thread while searching for help with another(related) issue, but it shows me that I'm learning a lot about coding on my own because I'd gone ahead and created my own custom page by using this very same method before even reading this.
My problem, however, is that this custom page is actually a sort of confirmation page linked to my contact form (which I also custom-built instead of using the onsite form) but when it calls for the final page i get the following error:
"Fatal error: Class 'Controller' not found in.....php on line 2"
Interestingly enough, if I view the page itself directly without calling it through the contact form it displays perfectly and with full functionality! Can anyone help me?
I was hoping to launch this site on NYD but this contact form error has stumped me for nearly a week and prevented me from moving on and even loading my products!

HELP ME PLEASE!

still looks alright to me
