Hi everyone,

I want to get a specific information page(s) so i can get it displayed where i want instead of having all the infrmation pages.
See below example, based on opencart 1.54
viewtopic.php?t=30529
However as of opencart 3.0 you are not allowed to use php in the twig file. So i have a little bit trouble adjusting the example for opencart 1.54 to oc 3.0

I have been doing some coding. And although i get something i am not there yet
So i have added this piece of code as a test in the controller/common/footer.php

Code: Select all

if ( $informations['information_id'] = '3' ) {
				$data['privacy'][] = array(
					'title' => $result['title'],
					'information_id' => $result['information_id'],
					'href'  => $this->url->link('information/information', 'information_id=' . $result['information_id'])
				);
			}
		if ( $informations['information_id'] = '5' ) {
				$data['term'][] = array(
					'title' => $result['title'],
					'information_id' => $result['information_id'],
					'href'  => $this->url->link('information/information', 'information_id=' . $result['information_id'])
				);
			}
behind

Code: Select all

	foreach ($this->model_catalog_information->getInformations() as $result) {
			if ($result['bottom']) {
				$data['informations'][] = array(
					'title' => $result['title'],
				'information_id' => $result['information_id'],
					'href'  => $this->url->link('information/information', 'information_id=' . $result['information_id'])
				);
			}
		}
and then on the common/footer.twig
I have added

Code: Select all

  {% for privacys in privacy %}
               <a href="{{ privacys.href }}">{{ privacys.title }}yo</a>
           {% endfor %}
                {% for terms in term %}
               <a href="{{ terms.href }}">{{ terms.title }}tse</a>
               {% endfor %}
So i only get the last link double. I think i am calling the code in the twig file wrong. I don't think i should use the for function.
Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks

Really there are better ways to do this, but you can backup and try this.

You can undo your controller changes and then try replacing the entire foreach loop (eg ($this->model_catalog_information->getInformations() as $result) {..... } with the below. Your twig changes should be fine.

Find in catalog/controller/common/footer.php

Code: Select all

foreach ($this->model_catalog_information->getInformations() as $result) {
			if ($result['bottom']) {
				$data['informations'][] = array(
					'title' => $result['title'],
					'href'  => $this->url->link('information/information', 'information_id=' . $result['information_id'])
				);
			}
		}
Replace with

Code: Select all

$data['privacy'] = array();
$data['term'] = array();

foreach ($this->model_catalog_information->getInformations() as $result) {
		if ( $result['information_id'] == '3' ) {
				$data['privacy'][] = array(
					'title' => $result['title'],
					'information_id' => $result['information_id'],
					'href'  => $this->url->link('information/information', 'information_id=' . $result['information_id'])
				);
			}
			
		if ( $result['information_id'] == '5' ) {
				$data['term'][] = array(
					'title' => $result['title'],
					'information_id' => $result['information_id'],
					'href'  => $this->url->link('information/information', 'information_id=' . $result['information_id'])
				);
			}

		if ($result['bottom']) {
				$data['informations'][] = array(
					'title' => $result['title'],
					'href'  => $this->url->link('information/information', 'information_id=' . $result['information_id'])
				);
			}
		}

Thank you very much. Your solution did the trick!

I had the feeling already that my method is not the most efficient, but i was happy i got something after struggling with the code.

Any suggestions how to make it better?

Instead of using a foreach loop, use switch.
Why?
Switch is faster.

I bet the difference isn't even measurable.

You could also refactor the array a bit so you can lose the for loop in the twig template, less code. What you have works, if you start adding like 20 custom links then I would look into better refactoring it, or another solution.

Good luck.
