opencart-html-helper

Opencart Html Helper provides a set of static methods for generating commonly used HTML tags.

This module from Yii2 Framework is adapted by Mefistophell Nill and Zoturn (8sun Empire) for OpenCart.

This module includes another module from Yii2, which we adapted and you can use it separately. The link to the module is shown below.

ArrayHelper - provides additional array functionality that you can use in your application.

Tested on Opencart 2.0. If you find an error, let us know.

Version: 0.9.1

Install

1. You need to copy the files to the directory /system/helper/.

2. Further, add the Helpers to /system/startup.php as shown below:

require_once(DIR_SYSTEM . 'helper/Html.php');
require_once(DIR_SYSTEM . 'helper/ArrayHelper.php');
require_once(DIR_SYSTEM . 'helper/BaseJson.php');

Just use the Helpers in your template files. You can get something like this:

...
<td>
  <?php echo Html::input("text", $attribute, $value, ["class" => "form-control", "placeholder" => "comment"]) ?>
</td>
<td>
  <?php echo Html::dropDownList($name, $value, $selected, ["class" => "form-control"]); ?>
</td>
