Opencart module include custom php file issue?

Question

I'm trying to create an OpenCart 1.5.1.3 module. The issue I'm having is with including a custom php script.

When I do this in the controller:

include('module/simple_html_dom.php');

or

include('simple_html_dom.php');

I'm presented with the following error:

Notice : Error: Could not load language module/simple_html_dom! in D:\\xampp\\htdocs\\store\\system\\library\\language.php on line 26

I suspect there's a simple explanation, but just can't work it out.

Answer 1

I've found a way to include the file I wanted. I'm not sure it's the proper way of doing this but I used the following code - with OpenCart having such little documentation it's not easy to debug and/or develop for it.

require_once(DIR_SYSTEM . 'simple_html_dom.php');

DIR_SYSTEM is OpenCart's /system folder, so I placed my simple_html_dom.php file in there and voila, it worked.

Answer 2

原因是理论上您仍然从index.php文件进行调用，因此需要使用该路径的相对路径，或者使用定义的变量，您可以在config.php文件中找到所有相关的变量OpenCart使用的路径

Answer 3

I have the same problem in opencart. i have to install file i have something like

<?php include 'i_header.tpl';?>

I replace it with

<?php include (DIR_TEMPLATE. '/module/---your module name ---/i_header.tpl');?>

and it works. You can chose the correct path name which under the config file.

ROOT/config.php

ROOT/admin/config.php

I hope this helps.
