I wanted to change the Manufacturer Name variable, to eliminate the spaces and replace it with a dash.
I tried doing this with PHP, but it was terrible to do it, as there were multiple places to change it, and it some places impossible.
To do it via PHP Variable I had to change it in
- Product Page
- Manufacturer Page
- Viewed Product Sidebar
- Front Page New Arrivals
On each place it needs to be changed, with a different code and a in a different place.
Product Page
Needs to be changed on -> ProductController.php
Code
$manuf_name_nospace = str_replace(" ","-",$manufacturer->name);
$this->context->smarty->assign('manuf_name_nospace', $manuf_name_nospace);
Manufacturer Page
Needs to be changed on -> ManufacturerController.php
Code: Add in line 89
$this->context->smarty->assign('manuf_name_nospace', str_replace(" ","-",$this->manufacturer->name));
Viewed Product Sidebar
Needs to be changed on -> blockviewed.php
Code: Add in line 124
$obj->manuf_name_nospace = str_replace(" ","-",$productsImagesArray[$productViewed]['ManufacturerName']);
Replace on tpl.
{$viewedProduct->manuf_name_nospace|truncate:25:'...'|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}
{Manufacturer::getNameById($product.id_manufacturer)}
Front Page New Arrivals
Apparently needs to be changed on -> blocknewproducts.php
Code:
$this->context->smarty->assign('manuf_name_nospace', str_replace(" ","-",'aaaaa-bbbbb'));
I was able to pass a Dummy Smarty variable, but was not able to pass the Manufacturer Name variable.
This did not work to me.
At the end, I decided to just do the replacement using Smarty Language instead of PHP, so the calculation is done directly on the .tpl file and not on the PHP.
