The following example will be used for the default template.
In your catalog/view/theme/<your_theme>/template/common/header.tpl file,
find:
Code: Select all
<li><a href="<?php echo $contact; ?>"><i class="fa fa-phone"></i></a> <span class="hidden-xs hidden-sm hidden-md"><?php echo $telephone; ?></span></li>
The
$telephone is the variable that defines the contact number.
In your catalog/controller/common/header.php file,
find:
Code: Select all
$data['telephone'] = $this->config->get('config_telephone');
add below:
Code: Select all
$data['email'] = $this->config->get('config_email');
You can now use:
$email into your header template file.

No instructions above on my behalf indicates to replace the $email with $telephone. It rather indicates to add the $email variable below the $telephone field.

Code: Select all
<li><a href="<?php echo $contact; ?>"><i class="fa fa-phone"></i></a> <span class="hidden-xs hidden-sm hidden-md"><?php echo $telephone; ?></span></li>
Add after
Code: Select all
<li><a href="mailto:YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS?"><i class="fa fa-envelope"></i> <span class="hidden-xs hidden-sm hidden-md"><?php echo $email; ?></span></a></li>
Change YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS to the email address you wish to use
If you want to remove the telephone number then just comment it out in header.tpl like this
Code: Select all
<!--<li><a href="<?php echo $contact; ?>"><i class="fa fa-phone"></i></a> <span class="hidden-xs hidden-sm hidden-md"><?php echo $telephone; ?></span></li>-->
Hope this helps

Hello,
straightlight is giving you right way to do this, but if it;s still not working then you can use direct method which used by many front-end developers
in Your header.tpl file ( catalog/view/theme/<Your Theme>/template/common/header.tpl )
Search below code
Code: Select all
<li><a href="<?php echo $contact; ?>"><i class="fa fa-phone"></i></a> <span class="hidden-xs hidden-sm hidden-md"><?php echo $telephone; ?></span></li>
and replace with:
Code: Select all
<li><?php global $config; ?><a href="<?php echo $config->get('config_telephone'); ?>"><i class="fa fa-envelope"></i></a> <span class="hidden-xs hidden-sm hidden-md"><?php echo $config->get('config_telephone'); ?></span></li>
Make sure try to use
straightlight method first as that is default way of work opencart...
Thank You

The provided codes I specified on the above should work as intended. Although, I do NOT recommend nor suggest to add any globalization functions into the themes as it skips each registered objects being passed through the Object Registry of Opencart.
If there's an email error variable message on your previous post, there is a specific reason for this which is certainly caused by a global function. However, more information would be needed based on the way you did added these codes in order to provide an accurate solution.

In catalog/controller/common/header.php
In catalog/view/MY_THEME/template/common/header.tpl
It cut off the image but the line is
Code: Select all
<li><a href="mailto:YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS?"><i class="fa fa-envelope"></i> <span class="hidden-xs hidden-sm hidden-md"><?php echo $email; ?></span></a></li>
These are the changes i made?
Thanks

I would not suggest to use the mailto: method on a website to be contacted but rather a web form with enforced captcha to be filled in order to avoid massive SPAM on your server. A good example would be from the information contact page of your store. Adding your email address to your site header would be really non-recommended as your email address would appear on every pages of your store.
Or, I would simply rename the previous header.php file's instruction line with this:
Code: Select all
$email = str_replace('@', ' at ', $this->config->get('config_email'));
$email = str_replace('.', ' dot ', $email);
$data['email'] = html_entity_decode($email, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
to avoid mass SPAM but my first suggestion above would be better, in this case.
As for the $email variable error message, switch back to the default theme from your admin - > extensions - > themes - > Select Default and see if the issue persists.
Note: If your site is already live, set your site under temporary maintenance from your admin - > systems - > settings - > edit store - > server tab - > Maintenance Mode: On before testing the above.

Fortunately, it doesn't. Globalization is not a recommended method as it used to surpass the Object Registry of Opencart and I hope this protection on not using globalization further will remain intact.
