Hi.

I am making a plugin triggerd by onBeforeProductListingLoad(). I need to get the 'main_div_name' value for some processing.
Eg I need to get the "hikashop_category_information_menu_xxx" or "hikashop_category_information_module_xx" value.

In the view, product listing_div it gets fetched by this:
$mainDivName=$this->params->get('main_div_name');

How to do that from the plugin? Can you please help me?

Regards

Mathias

Hi,

The parameter "$view" in the trigger is the "$this" in your code sample.
Be careful. You have to check if you are in the front-end or in the backend.

On the dev page the trigger is said to be:
onBeforeProductListingLoad(&$filters,&$order,&$parent, &$select, &$select2, &$a, &$b, &$on)

No $view paramenter. Or did I missunderstand?

Hi,

I called it $view in my plugins, in the documentation the variable name is $parent, but it is the same thing, the "parent view" ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/3.png ":)")

Thanks Jerome.

I got it working now ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/3.png ":)")
It actually needs both $parent and $view.

Did like this: Code:

function onBeforeProductListingLoad(&$filters, &$parent, &$view){ $app =& JFactory::getApplication(); if ($app->isAdmin()){ return; } else { echo $view->params->get('main_div_name'); // TEST It works! } }

It does not work with only $view or $parent. It needs to be both plus $filters. How come?

Hi,

When in the doc it's called parent.

> onBeforeProductListingLoad(&$filters,&$order,**&$parent**, &$select, &$select2, &$a, &$b, &$on)

I called it view.

> onBeforeProductListingLoad(&$filters,&$order,**&$view**, &$select, &$select2, &$a, &$b, &$on)

But it's the same variable in the **same position**.
In your code, you "renamed" the $order into $parent. So $parent is not the parent, it's the order object...

Oh, I am so stupid ( after midnight brain stop) :woohoo: !!
Thanks for clarifying this too me Jerome.
Off course the parameter position is the thing and very important to get right in functions.

Just to make it "the right way." Now the code example is:
Code:

function onBeforeProductListingLoad(&$filters,&$order,&$view, &$select, &$select2, &$a, &$b, &$on){ $app =& JFactory::getApplication(); if ($app->isAdmin()){ return; } else { echo $view->params->get('main_div_name'); // TEST It works! } }

Once again many thanks Jerome.

Regards

Mathias
