Tetsuo74 Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Hi everyone. Is it possible to to load different column files on the site by the press of a button? What I want to do is to sell 4 different product groups in my shop. And I want the store to reflect that these product groups are very different. So, I'm making 4 buttons in the header of the page. And when you press the button for manufacturer A, I want to load a different column file (let's say a new file called column_left_A.php) then what you normally do. I'd also like to load a different index file for the center of the shop. Is this possible? My next step will then be to change the colors and boxes for these new columns to reflect which product group the customer is viewing. I will be gratefull for any help!

Jack_mcs Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 If you add a global variable, you can then check it and call the different files. Something like switch ($product_group) { case 1: require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'column_left_1.php'); break; case 2: require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'column_left_2.php'); break; I have tested this but I think it should work.

I'm not very good at php, but I'll search for some info on how to do this. So far I have only added contrubutions and done small changes. But hey, I've bought the PHP & MySQL for dummies and am willing to learn. Adding a global variable can't be that hard, can it? :sweating: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Not hard but if you are new to it, you may get confused. Go slow, do one thing at a time and keep backups. :) Look in login.php. You'll see calls to tep_session_register. Declare your variable there and register it. Use one of the other variables as an example and check how it is called in different parts of the code.
