PHP - Lost, any advice?

Hello,

I was wondering why adding the code in red below to 'modules/custom/product_listing.php' doesn't display the media link after the price in the Product Listings. Is there anywhere else I should try to add this code, or is this a much bigger job than I think?

        case 'PRODUCT_LIST_NAME':
        $lc_align = '';
        if (isset($_GET['manufacturers_id'])) {
          $lc_text = '<h3 class="itemTitle"><a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' . (($_GET['manufacturers_id'] > 0 and $_GET['filter_id']) > 0 ?  zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($_GET['filter_id']) : ($_GET['cPath'] > 0 ? zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($_GET['cPath']) : zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($listing->fields['master_categories_id']))) . '&products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']) . '">' . $listing->fields['products_name'] . '</a></h3><div class="listingDescription">' . zen_trunc_string(zen_clean_html(stripslashes(zen_get_products_description($listing->fields['products_id'], $_SESSION['languages_id']))), PRODUCT_LIST_DESCRIPTION) . '</div>' ;
        } else {
          $lc_text = '<h3 class="itemTitle"><a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' . (($_GET['manufacturers_id'] > 0 and $_GET['filter_id']) > 0 ?  zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($_GET['filter_id']) : ($_GET['cPath'] > 0 ? zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($_GET['cPath']) : zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($listing->fields['master_categories_id']))) . '&products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']) . '">' . $listing->fields['products_name'] . '</a></h3><div class="listingDescription">' . zen_trunc_string(zen_clean_html(stripslashes(zen_get_products_description($listing->fields['products_id'], $_SESSION['languages_id']))), PRODUCT_LIST_DESCRIPTION) . '</div>' ;
        }
		require($template->get_template_dir('/tpl_modules_media_manager.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_media_manager.php') ;
        break;

You need to accumulate the output into $lc_text, not just process/output it immediately. Is it outputting somewhere early in the page before any of the listing? That is what I would expect if it is functioning at all now.

That is a reasonable place to add the code; you just need to alter it so that it saves the output in a variable which can then be appended to $lc_text.```php
//fetch the link content for the current product and save in $your_link_content
$lc_text .= $your_link_content;

Thanks for the reply! No, it's not outputting anything. When I append the code it's calling from 'tpl_modules_media_manager' to $lc_text it just returns a value of '1' with no links. Is there any way I can slip that code into the template file 'tpl_product_listing' or anywhere else to make it work?

Something like this?

        case 'PRODUCT_LIST_NAME':
        $lc_align = '';
        if (isset($_GET['manufacturers_id'])) {
          $lc_text = '<h3 class="itemTitle"><a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' . (($_GET['manufacturers_id'] > 0 and $_GET['filter_id']) > 0 ?  zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($_GET['filter_id']) : ($_GET['cPath'] > 0 ? zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($_GET['cPath']) : zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($listing->fields['master_categories_id']))) . '&products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']) . '">' . $listing->fields['products_name'] . '</a></h3><div class="listingDescription">' . zen_trunc_string(zen_clean_html(stripslashes(zen_get_products_description($listing->fields['products_id'], $_SESSION['languages_id']))), PRODUCT_LIST_DESCRIPTION) . '</div>' ;
        } else {
          $lc_text = '<h3 class="itemTitle"><a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' . (($_GET['manufacturers_id'] > 0 and $_GET['filter_id']) > 0 ?  zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($_GET['filter_id']) : ($_GET['cPath'] > 0 ? zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($_GET['cPath']) : zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($listing->fields['master_categories_id']))) . '&products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']) . '">' . $listing->fields['products_name'] . '</a></h3><div class="listingDescription">' . zen_trunc_string(zen_clean_html(stripslashes(zen_get_products_description($listing->fields['products_id'], $_SESSION['languages_id']))), PRODUCT_LIST_DESCRIPTION) . '<span class="Play" href="' zen_href_link(DIR_WS_MEDIA  . $za_clip['clip_filename'], '', 'NONSSL', false, true, true) .  '" target="_blank">' . '<span class="mediaClipFilename">' . $za_clip['clip_filename'] . '</span>' . (!empty($za_clip['clip_type']) ? '<span class="mediaClipType"> (' . $za_clip['clip_type'] . ')</span>' : ''); '</div>' ;
        }
        break;

Still going crazy :smile: Any suggestions?

Added to top of 'product_listing.php'

		function getScriptOutput($path, $print = FALSE){
			ob_start();
			if( is_readable($path) && $path )
			{
				include $path;
			}
			else
			{
				return FALSE;
			}
			if( $print == FALSE )
				return ob_get_clean();
			else
				echo ob_get_clean();
		}

And made these changes, but no luck..

        case 'PRODUCT_LIST_NAME':
        $lc_align = '';
        if (isset($_GET['manufacturers_id'])) {
          $lc_text = '<h3 class="itemTitle"><a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' .

'&products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']) . '">' . $listing->fields['products_name'] . '</a></h3><div class="listingDescription">' . zen_trunc_string(zen_clean_html(stripslashes(zen_get_products_description($listing->fields['products_id'], $_SESSION['languages_id']))), PRODUCT_LIST_DESCRIPTION) . '</div>' ;
        } else {

		$path = DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_media_manager.php');
		$html = getScriptOutput($path);
		$lc_text = '<h3 class="itemTitle"><a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' .

'</div>' ;
        }
        break;

Please help!:frusty:

This doesn't work either lol? :wacko:

        case 'PRODUCT_LIST_NAME':
        $lc_align = '';
        if (isset($_GET['manufacturers_id'])) {
          $lc_text = '<h3 class="itemTitle"><a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' .

'&products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']) . '">' . $listing->fields['products_name'] . '</a></h3><div class="listingDescription">' . zen_trunc_string(zen_clean_html(stripslashes(zen_get_products_description($listing->fields['products_id'], $_SESSION['languages_id']))), PRODUCT_LIST_DESCRIPTION) . '</div>' ;
        } else {
		
  require(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory('media_manager.php'));
				$za_play = $zq_clips->fields['clip_filename'] ;
				$lc_text = '<h3 class="itemTitle"><a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' . (($_GET['manufacturers_id'] > 0 and $_GET['filter_id']) > 0 ?  zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($_GET['filter_id']) : ($_GET['cPath'] > 0 ? zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($_GET['cPath']) : zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($listing->fields['master_categories_id']))) . '&products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']) . '">' . $listing->fields['products_name'] . '</a></h3><div class="listingDescription">' . zen_trunc_string(zen_clean_html(stripslashes(zen_get_products_description($listing->fields['products_id'], $_SESSION['languages_id']))), PRODUCT_LIST_DESCRIPTION) . '<a href ="' . $za_play . '">' . '<img src="images/play_button.png"/>' . '</div>' ;
        }
        break;

I think I can get this working if I can just figure out how to set a variable ($za_play) to the 'clip filename' in 'media_manager.php' Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?

Any suggestions? I just need to append the products single clip_filename to the product name.

Try this:

        case 'PRODUCT_LIST_NAME':        $lc_align = '';
        $lc_text = '<h3 class="itemTitle"><a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' .

'&products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']) . '">' . $listing->fields['products_name'] . '</a></h3><div class="listingDescription">' . zen_trunc_string(zen_clean_html(stripslashes(zen_get_products_description($listing->fields['products_id'], $_SESSION['languages_id']))), PRODUCT_LIST_DESCRIPTION) . '</div>';
        // bof: display media clip filenames
        $_GET['products_id'] = $listing->fields['products_id'];
        require(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory('media_manager.php'));
        if ($zv_product_has_media) {
          while (list($za_media_key, $za_media) = each($za_media_manager)) {
            while(list($za_clip_key, $za_clip) = each($za_media_manager[$za_media_key]['clips'])) {
              $lc_text .= $za_clip['clip_filename'];
            }
          }
        }
        unset($_GET['products_id'], $za_media_manager, $zv_product_has_media);
        // eof: display media clip filenames
        break;
        case 'PRODUCT_LIST_MANUFACTURER':

If that works for you, donations always appreciated at: https://www.zen-cart.com/donate

Thank you so much! I will definitely send a donation.

I just had 1 more question about this. Code works great in the product_listing but when I add it to a Featured Items mod it causes all the info on the product pages not to display.

    if (DISPLAY_FLEX_FEATURED_CENTERBOX_NAME == 'true') {
		$products_name = '<span class="flexFCBname"><a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($featured_products->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' . $productsInCategory[$featured_products->fields['products_id']] . '&products_id=' . $featured_products->fields['products_id']) . '">' . $featured_products->fields['products_name'] . '</a>' . '</span>';
		// bof: display media clip filenames
        $_GET['products_id'] = $featured_products->fields['products_id'];
        require(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory('media_manager.php'));
        if ($zv_product_has_media) {
          while (list($za_media_key, $za_media) = each($za_media_manager)) {
            while(list($za_clip_key, $za_clip) = each($za_media_manager[$za_media_key]['clips'])) {
			$products_name .= '   <span class="Play" href ="media/' . $za_clip['clip_filename'] . '">' . '<img src="images/play_button.png"/></span>';
            }
          }
        }
        unset($_GET['products_id'], $za_media_manager, $zv_product_has_media);
        // eof: display media clip filenames

Example here:

I think it has to do with unset($_GET['products_id']. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

This did the trick:

unset($za_media_manager, $zv_product_has_media);
$_GET['products_id'] = $_REQUEST['products_id'];
