Custom Promotion Mod

[kmm2908]

I'm in the middle of writing a custom promotion action hook and I need to make a variable from the hook script available in the viewcart.tpl template. Can anyone tell me how I can do that please?

Thanks in anticipation of your continued help

Found it!

Two options:

1. Use session cookies

2. Use $smarty assign

 

global $smarty;
$smarty->assign('takeoff',$hostprc);
$smarty->assign('newbal',$newbal);

 

Amazing! Should have engaged brain properly before posting.

 

Hope the above helps someone else!
