Hi there,

In the footer for open cart v1.5.1 there is a section called information. It has about us etc.

I want to put those links in my header.tpl file of my custom theme. So making opencart a cms for pages as well as the store.

If I copy this code from footer.tpl

Code: Select all

<ul>
      <?php foreach ($informations as $information) { ?>
      <li><a href="<?php echo $information['href']; ?>"><?php echo $information['title']; ?></a></li>
      <?php } ?>
    </ul>

I get an Undefined variable: informations error. Any direction on how to make this work?

Thank you

You also need to move the associated entries in catalog/controller/common/footer.php to catalog/controller/common/header.php and possibly catalog/language/english/common/footer.php to catalog/language/english/common/header.php

OpenCart uses MVC+L

In simple terms there are multiple files that make up a section. The 'V' part of MVC+L is the 'tpl' files or 'View' It will most definitely have a Controller file 'C' and more than likely a Language file 'L'

The footer does not interact with the database directly, so there is no Model file 'M'

Excellent thank you. I'm learning slowly and have it all working.

Any ideas how I can create a new tpl file for an information page? So that I can choose a new template for an information page within the admin section?

E.g. new information page called postage and use a tpl file called template. which I have styled.
