I have a prestashop module which is working on 1.6 but when i want to install my own module to 1.7 it is not working. What am i suppose to do ?

Please find the below point which need to be followed : 

1. Check the hook , whether it exist in PS 1.7 or not, if not then find an alternative hook for that.

2. Also check whether you are using any default function which may not exist in ps 1.7

3. In ps 1.6 , for front controller we use "$this->setTemplate('stores.tpl');" but in PS 1.7 , we replace that with "$this->setTemplate('{module_name}/views/templates/front/stores.tpl');" 

 

If still the module doesnt work, then kindly debug the same line by line after enabling the debug mode. please enable the debug mode from the directory

config/defines.inc

Change: define('_PS_MODE_DEV_', false);

To: define('_PS_MODE_DEV_', true);

This question is too generic 😅

What exactly is not working? Are you getting an error?
