I've noticed that code in layout.tpl says:
Code: Select all
<?php if ($_REQUEST['controller'] == 'home') { ?>
<?php if (isset($featured)) { ?>
<?php echo $featured; ?>
<?php } ?>
am I missing something???
Hi i've just added extension to opencart with special products featured products v1.1 and i run into a problem
I've noticed that code in layout.tpl says:
I deleted one for specials and so on i just want that one to show, and when i enter to the shop with cache cleared from the browser it displays me that there is undefined controller on that line which will be right as this conditional only works when button home is pressed and defines the controller. How i add exception that if controller not define for this bit to show featured products ....
am I missing something???

you need to close the first if statementGiraffe wrote:Code: Select all
<?php if ($_REQUEST['controller'] == 'home') { ?> <?php if (isset($featured)) { ?> <?php echo $featured; ?> <?php } ?>

So to clarify, you installed the "Latest/Featured/Specials Homepage" contrib and you are seeing invalid controller messages for things. I only remember trying to use that contrib once, and I wasn't successful based on the included instructions. I haven't played with it since then, but maybe the original author can help.
That's right and it works quite ok as long as someone presses on home button then url changes to
http://192.168.0.1/shop/index.php?controller=home
and when someone enters to the page in my instance i type ip of my server and then it says controller undefined if I then remove first if statement and change code to:
then featured products list displays on every single page as it is hardcoded into layout i guess.
I am wondering how to construct this script in the situation if :
a)customer entered webpage then featured products are displayed
b)customer pressed on a home button and then featured products are displayed
but they are not being displayed when i am in different parts of the shop.

Ah i see.
What about:
What about:
Code: Select all
<?php if ($_REQUEST['controller'] == 'home' || $_REQUEST['controller'] == '') { ?>
<?php if (isset($featured)) { ?>
<?php echo $featured; ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
Ohh yes the || logical operator .. I was planing to use it as well
Now i get it double then when i press home then it is ok.
Message i am getting is:
Notice: Undefined index: controller in C:\wamp\www\shop\catalog\template\default\layout.tpl on line 45
Notice: Undefined index: controller in C:\wamp\www\shop\catalog\template\default\layout.tpl on line 45
I think it is because request checks if controller value has been passed through url...
and when customer enters shop for the first time then request is not yet triggered....
maybe there is different way of achieving this?

hmm.. an ugly way to try
Code: Select all
<?php if (@$_REQUEST['controller']) { ?>
<?php if ($_REQUEST['controller'] == 'home' || $_REQUEST['controller'] == '') { ?>
<?php if (isset($featured)) { ?>
<?php echo $featured; ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php } else {?>
<?php if (isset($featured)) { ?>
<?php echo $featured; ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>

Yep! it works now the featured products appear now only on a home page.
What the @ before request stands for?
Oh a little bit off topic but my wife was asking me for that...

He did the cut 'n paste trick and accidentally ended up with triplicate code
