Creating a module for the system OpenCart 1.x.

Lecture



For OpenCart versions 2.x there is another article.

In order to create a module, we need at least 6 files. Let him Our new module will be named “ myModul ” and for its operation we will need the following files:

  1. module view file:

    one

    catalog \ view \ theme \ default \ template \ module \ myModul.tpl

  2. module controller:

    one

    catalog \ controller \ module \ myModul.php

  3. language file:

    one

    catalog \ language \ russian \ module \ myModul.php

  4. module presentation file for the admin panel:

    one

    admin \ view \ template \ module \ myModul.tpl

  5. module controller for adminpanel:

    one

    admin \ controller \ module \ myModul.php

  6. module language file for admin panel:

    one

    admin \ language \ russian \ module \ myModul.php

We will create them in the order of numbering.

1. View file

Create catalog \ view \ theme \ default \ template \ module \ myModul.tpl , and fill it with the following content:

one

2

3

four

five

6

module code

This is the basic structure of modules for CMS OpenCart , you can write any of your own.

If you leave this code unchanged, then our module will look like this:

2. Module controller

Similarly, create catalog \ controller \ module \ myModul.php and fill it with the following minimum:

one

2

3

four

five

6

7

eight

9

ten

eleven

class ControllerModuleMyModul extends Controller {

protected function index () {

if (file_exists (DIR_TEMPLATE. $ this-> config-> get ('config_template'). '/template/module/myModul.tpl')) {

$ this-> template = $ this-> config-> get ('config_template'). '/template/module/myModul.tpl';

} else {

$ this-> template = 'default / template / module / myModul.tpl';

}

$ this-> render ();

}

}

?>

Note the class name “ ControllerModuleMyModul ” is the string “ ControllerModule ” plus “ module name with a capital letter ”. In the controller, we at least have to specify which view file will be responsible for the output of information. But this controller is not functional, it is just a blank. Functional, it will be filled depending on the needs of the module.

As an example, in it you can connect a model :

one

$ this-> load-> model ('model_directory / model_name');

continue to call its methods .

You can also include a language file :

one

$ this-> language-> load ('module / language_name');

and declare variables :

one

$ this-> data ['variable_name'] = $ this-> language-> get ('variable_name_your_name');

This variable will be visible in the myModul.tpl template.

3. Language file

Create a catalog \ language \ russian \ module \ myModul.php and fill it with the following contents:

one

2

3

$ _ ['variable_name'] = 'variable value';

?>

We can work with this variable only if we declare in the controller :

one

$ this-> language-> load ('module / myModul');

should be addressed to her so

one

$ this-> language-> get ('variable_name');

In general, we fill the language file with variables that will store the textual information necessary for our module . This could be the title line, for example:

4. The module presentation file for the admin panel

Create admin \ view \ template \ module \ myModul.tpl and fill it with the following contents:

For example such

My parameter

Now in the admin panel will look like

Creating a module for the system OpenCart 1.x.

At the bottom of the template tpl , there is a JavaScript function function addModule () , add this to the code, this is necessary so that the user can add a new module to other pages (diagrams in OpenCart terminology).

2. In the admin module controller (i.e., in the www \ admin \ controller \ module \ module_name.php file) you need to add the following code

one

2

3

four

five

6

7

$ this-> load-> model ('setting / setting');

if (($ this-> request-> server ['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') && $ this-> validate ()) {

$ this-> model_setting_setting-> editSetting ('module_name', $ this-> request-> post);

$ this-> session-> data ['success'] = $ this-> language-> get ('text_success');

$ this-> redirect ($ this-> url-> link ('extension / module', 'token ='. $ this-> session-> data ['token'], 'SSL'));

}

It means that POST requests for this module need to be processed and entered into the database .

This code is most likely already in the controller of your module, so go ahead.

3. In the module controller (i.e. in the www \ catalog \ controller \ module \ module_name.php file)

Add $ setting argument to function

one

2

3

protected function index () {

...

}

Those. should become so

one

2

3

protected function index ($ setting) {

...

}

Next, add controller anywhere in the controller.

one

$ this-> data ['param1'] = $ setting ["param1"];

This will allow the tpl template of this module to use this parameter , it will be visible under the name " param1 ".

4. Now in the module tpl template (i.e. in the www \ catalog \ view \ theme \ default \ template \ module \ filterattr.tpl file) we can use this parameter as we need, for example, we will display its value:

one

The result will be:

one
