It is not easy to explain all things to you in one post. Please start from checking official CS-Cart documentation:



http://docs.cs-cart.com/4.3.x/

hi


[quote]ok one more question there will be a problem if use angularjs for my addon? [/quote]



difficult to say…

basically in latest version of cs-cart all Javascript objects were put under internal Tygh object and this trick allows to use other jQuery/JS libraries to avoid conflicts.



please try to use it in your module and provide feedback about results here.

How can i pass params to my controller iv tried calling url/?dispatch.main&product_id=170 but i keep getting all the products.



my controller:



if ($mode == 'main') {
$params = $_REQUEST;
list($product) = fn_get_products($params);
foreach($product as $products){
foreach($products as $value)
$prod[]=$value;
}
header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo json_encode($prod);
exit;
}

Use the fn_get_product_data function instead of fn_get_products one

i did it with fn_get_products i just passed as params the params['cid'] and sorted ut by category instead…
