Hi,

I want to create a module based on the currency selection on top of the header , I want to move that part to sides either left or right

and I thought I can make it as a module

I have create a skeleton module which has the structure as following :

Code: Select all

moneydropdown
----admin
           ---controller
                       -----module--->moneydropdown.php
           ---language
                       ----english
                              -----module--->moneydropdown.php
           ----view
                   ---template
                            default----->module--->moneydropdown.tpl
----catalog
           ---controller
                       -----module--->moneydropdown.php
           ---language
                       ----english
                              -----module--->moneydropdown.php
           ----view
                   ---template
                            default----->module--->moneydropdown.tpl
inside my view/template/default/module/moneydropdown.tpl
I want to iterate number of currencies that I have , for this matter I copy the related part from catalog/controller/common/header.php

Code: Select all

 $this->data['currencies'] = array();
		 
		$results = $this->model_localisation_currency->getCurrencies();	
		
		foreach ($results as $result) {
			if ($result['status']) {
   				$this->data['currencies'][] = array(
					'title'        => $result['title'],
					'code'         => $result['code'],
					'symbol_left'  => $result['symbol_left'],
					'symbol_right' => $result['symbol_right']				
				);
			}
and this piece of code needs to have access to the model/localisation/currency.php
and since I have a module without a model I don't know who to solve my problem anybody can help me here?

and one more question : is there any proper skeleton for creating extentions in oc 1.5.3? so I can study it?
cheers

Put

Code: Select all

		$this->load->model('localisation/currency');
before

Code: Select all

$results = $this->model_localisation_currency->getCurrencies();
U can load any model to your controller by call

Code: Select all

		$this->load->model('Model-Directory-Name/model-name');
e.g:U need to access to a model of product(catalog/model/catalog/product.php)
Just load

Code: Select all

		$this->load->model('catalog/product');
Then u can access to any function of products's model.
