Opencart 1.5.3.1
How to add a module to the slideshow in the header? only need to display it on the main page.
How to do it?

Try wrapping the code you want to show only on the main page with:

LiveZilla and Prestashop - not displaying on all pages

I have LiveZilla working on my site, but it's connected to the wrong hook. The chatbar only appears when i click on a menu (horizontal bar) it doesn't appear on homescreen / add to cart page or any other page except links on menu bar.
It only lets me hook it to the 'displayleftcollumn or displayrightcollumn' - when i run live edit i can see the module but its only on the menu pages.
I would like the chatbar to be on every page - I'm using the default bootstrap theme
How do i fix this?
site www.shop.tacitskills.com - click on classroom / online etc, the bar appears.
I have tried asking LiveZilla / Prestashop but no response.
You can edit the module php, and include this to add the option for the footer:
public function hookFooter($params)
{
return $this->hookLeftColumn($params);
}
Better yet, create an override file in folder overrides/modules/(modulename)/(modulename).php with
<?php
if (!defined('_PS_VERSION_'))
exit;
class (Modulename)Override extends (Modulename)
{
public function hookFooter($params)
{
return $this->hookLeftColumn($params);
}
}
In (modulename) use the livezilla module folder name.
This way, it will "survive" module updates.
Don't forget to delete the file cache/class_index.php after creating this file.

Prestashop Slider

How to setup a slider at the bottom-right corner in Prestashop like the picture? This slider consists of different picture. When I click an image, relative information will be shown on the right corner.
Simple you need to build a custom module. Please ref to prestashop.com document how you build custom module.
On that module hook the theme file yourmodulefile.tpl at FOOTER
Then make a wrap Div, set a class "footer_slide_wrap"
On your module CSS mark that class as bellow
.footer_slide_wrap{
display :fixed;
bottom : 0;
right :0;
width : 30px;
height:auto;
}
Now your DIV with class footer_slide_wrap will be place on that place.
now insert an UL and put your all button under li in this UL.
You can make the div .footer_slide_wrap mouse over slidable. For that you need to make a default div with class .opener and make the wrap hide.
need to create a javascript function to hide / show the DIV on mouse over.
you need to register a custom hook inside your slider module's php file, eg: "footerslider" then add the hook to your fooeter.tpl file which is located at "themes/yourthemes/footer.tpl" by placing this code {hook h="fooerslider"}
Basically, you should create small module that have hook.
Prestashop has many hooks related with your layout but if they are not suitable for you, you can create your own hook.
If you want to call your custom hook, simply put this code where you want to show.
{hook h="displayYourHookName"}
You need to install your custom hook in your install() function of your custom module.
// use this code in your install() function
$this->registerHook('displayYourHookName');
// your custom hook
public function hookDisplayYourHookName()
{
// code ...
// your html template that you want to show
return $this->display(__FILE__, 'yourTemplate.tpl');
}
if you are using default hook, prestashop will call automatically.
I hope this will help, cheers :)

DOMPDF: page_script(): Check current page content?

I am using dompdf to generate reports which sometimes has a front page, and sometimes has some attachments. The main content has a header and a footer, but the front page and the attachments (the last 3 to 5 pages of the pdf) should not contain header and footer. I'm placing the header and footer with a inline php page_script(), like this:
<script type="text/php">
if (isset($pdf) ) {
$pdf->page_script('
if ( $PAGE_COUNT > 10 && $PAGE_NUM == 1) {
//front page footer
}else{
//other pages' header and footer
}
');
}
</script>
The whole report is built by a database engine which outputs it all as a temporary html.txt-file which is then read into DOMPDF.
Now, to recognize the front page I just have to check if the page number is = 1. If any attachments are added (which are comprised of 1000px-height jpg images, each on their own page)
Does anyone have an idea for how to identify these "attachment"-pages and get DOMPDF to not render a header and footer on those pages? Or is there any way I could check within the page_script()-script whether the current page contains only an image (or perhaps an image with a specific class or identifier)?
Thanks for any help,
David
Detecting the current page contents may be possible, but I'd have to research exactly what you can do at this level. An easier method would be if you could inject some inline script in your generated document. After the main content and before the attachments you could add something like $GLOBALS['attachments'] = true; and then add a check on the status of this variable to your conditional.
<script type="text/php">
if (isset($pdf) ) {
$pdf->page_script('
if ( $PAGE_COUNT > 10 && $PAGE_NUM == 1) {
//front page footer
}elseif ($GLOBALS['attachments']) {
//attachments actions
}else{
//other pages' header and footer
}
');
}
</script>
Of course, don't forget to initialize the variable to false at the top of the document.

TCPDF with FPDI templates and THEAD

I have a html table with THEAD output with writeHTML which should be displayed on every page at the top of the table. It works but when I use a template loaded by FPDI the head is white and disappears on the second page and further. I can mark the head field with the mouse but the appear white. The border only appears as a little point on the left.
I already tried to add $this->setPageMark() to the addPage method. But its still the same issue.
public function AddPage($orientation = '', $format = ''){
parent::AddPage($orientation, $format);
if($this->template != null){
$this->useTemplate($this->template);
$this->setPageMark();
}
}
you need to enable page breaks at the beginning which is causing the issue you are having;
this is a sample code snippet ;
require_once('tcpdf/tcpdf.php'); //main code
require_once('tcpdf/fpdi.php'); //read existing pdf and sends to fpdf
$pdf = new FPDI();
$pdf->setPrintHeader(false); //no header
$pdf->setPrintFooter(false);//no footer
$pdf->SetAutoPageBreak(FALSE, 0); // set auto page breaks
//loop starts here
{
$pdf->setSourceFile($page_background); //set page
$templateId = $pdf->importPage(1); //we only need the first page
$pdf->useTemplate($templateId); //use the imported page
//your write html code and any other tcpdf related code comes here
}
$pdf->Output(outcome.pdf, 'I'); //use F instead of I to show generated pdf.

OpenCart Breadcrumb in header.tpl

Can someone tell me how can I have the breadcrumb nav within the header.tpl and not in the product.tpl of opencart?
I've just had to figure this out for a new site we're building and I've come up with the following; use at your own risk (I'll report back if I run into any major problems, but I can't foresee any... famous last words)
Basically the breadcrumbs are built in the controllers and we need the resulting $breadcrumbs array in the header controller. Modify system/engine/controller.php as follows:
[...snip...]
protected function render() {
foreach ($this->children as $child) {
$this->data[basename($child)] = $this->getChild($child,array('parent_data'=>&$this->data));
}
[...snip...]
This will send all the data in the parent controller, before render() was called, to every controller/method of the $children. Then we just need to pick this up in the header controller as follows:
<?php
class ControllerCommonHeader extends Controller {
protected function index($args=array()) {
// parent data
$this->data['parent_data'] = $args['parent_data'];
[...snip...]
And we can access everything in the template with $parent_data['whatever']. In this case, $parent_data['breadcrumbs'] will be the array of breadcrumbs that I can loop over with the code I've removed from each page.tpl and added to my header.tpl.
Due to the way 1.5.X is coded, you'll need to rewrite every controller and add a method back to the document class to allow passing from the product controller to the header controller. Is there any particular reason you want to do so?
if all else fails just hack the css, something like
.breadcrumb {
margin-left: -270px;
margin-top: -65px;
}
will move the breadcrumb up and to the left.
