Check current page layout

Hi guys,

I'm on OpenCart 3.0.3.2. I'd like to check the current page layout name, in order to dynamically hide the content of a category page. So far I've tried to add a variable in the controller

Code: Select all

category.php
with no luck.

Code: Select all

$data['layouts'] = $this->model_catalog_category->getCategoryLayouts($category_id);
When I try to load the page i get the error: "Notice: Undefined property: Proxy::getCategoryLayouts in /mnt/dati/www/hosting/insology/lollipopshop.it/storage/modification/system/engine/action.php on line 79".

How may I check which is the layout of the current page?

Thanks,
Matteo.

There is no function getCategoryLayouts($category_id) in catalog/model/catalog/category.php
There is getCategoryLayoutId($category_id) but that is useless to hide/show dynamic content.

Normally,modules which are defined in a layout are executed when that layout is used, no additional control there, it is a static definition.
If you want a module, defined there, not to be executed under certain conditions, you need to do that in the module itself.
In the module's index function you simply add as the first line:
if (your condition) return;
Then that module returns nothing.

To check what kind of page you are on you check the route as in
$this->request->get['route']
which would get you product/category or product/product or information/information etc.
to check for a specific page on a route you check if a certain id is set as well like
$this->request->get['product_id'] or $this->request->get['information_id']
for route $this->request->get['route'] = 'product/category' you check $this->request->get['path'] and if that has a _ in it you need to extract the last number to get the category id

so if you have module bestsellers defined in the layout for all product pages but do not want it to show for some products you would edit the bestsellers module first line after index():

Code: Select all

if (isset($this->request->get['route']) && $this->request->get['route'] == 'product/product') {
	$product_id_exclude = array(12,43,22);
	if (isset($this->request->get['product_id']) && in_array($this->request->get['product_id'],$product_id_exclude)) return;
}
Then again, if you have a module which is very dynamic in terms of when and what to show, I would suggest not to use the layout but simply control it via the controllers and call that module there based on conditions of when to show and give the module parameters to control what to show (like product id exclusion).

controller:

Code: Select all

$data['content'] = false;
if (your condition) {
	$setting = whatever you need and controller accepts
	$data['content'] = $this->load->controller('route_to_module_controller',$setting);
}
twig:

Code: Select all

{% if content %}{{ content}}{% endif %}

Add Function getLayoutName in model>>design>>layout.php

Code: Select all

public function getLayoutName($route) {
		$query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM " . DB_PREFIX . "layout_route WHERE '" . $this->db->escape($route) . "' LIKE route AND store_id = '" . (int)$this->config->get('config_store_id') . "' ORDER BY route DESC LIMIT 1");

		if ($query->num_rows) {
			return  $query->row['name'];
		} else {
			return '';
		}
	}
In calatog>>controller>>common>>header.php

Code: Select all

               if (isset($this->request->get['route'])) {
                    $route = $this->request->get['route'];
                } else {
                    $route = 'common/home';
                }
                $layout = $this->model_design_layout->getLayoutName($route);
                $data['layout_name'] = $layout ;
In header.twig file

Code: Select all

you don't put php in a twig file.

Curious... Do you even look at the code before posting? You threadjack a detailed and informative post to provide a non-working solution.

I suggest you also review your query carefully and correct your post.

https://github.com/opencart/opencart/bl ... .sql#L1842

Again .. Users who come across this will try your solution and wonder why they have undefined index notice.

Please don't post half baked solutions just to get your post count up.
