How can I call a module from a hook - Prestashop 1.7

[Yohannn]

I have created a new module with template. I call my module and my template in my custom hook. It work fine. But I want to call another existing module in my custom hook and I don't want to override this module because if it's deleted my module will certainly crash. So there is a solution to call this existing module with my custom hook or it is simply impossible ? I try too do this manually in the back office but it's work with "displayLeftColumn" and "displayRightColumn" but not with my custom hook.

Try this:

$module = Module::getInstanceByName($moduleName);
$module->hookXX();

or

Hook::exec($hook_name, [], $id_module);

Thank you for your reply.

I make some search with what you shared me and I do this :

In my class :

class myClass extends Module {
	myFunction(){
		$module = Module::getInstanceByName('nameOfModuleIWant');
    	return $module;
	}
}

In my hook :

hookDisplayMyHook(){
	$this->context->smarty->assign([
		'myVariable' => $this->myClass->myFunction(),
	]);
	return $this->display(_FILe_, 'myTemplate.tpl');
}

In my template :

{include file=tpl_Path_I_Want/tpl_File_I_Want.tpl' listing=$myVariable}

and this work fine.

Although your code is incomplete, why don't you use this?

hookDisplayMyHook()
{
	$module = Module::getInstanceByName('nameOfModuleIWant');
	...

	$this->context->smarty->assign([
		'myVariable' => value that you need,
	]);

	return $this->display(_FILe_, 'myTemplate.tpl');
}

Why you call your module in your hook ? And where you put your variable $module ?

Me I call the module in my class in function and I call the function in my hook.

What's the differents ? And what is the better solution ?

As your code is incomplete, I don't know what do you need to do. I'm offering you the best solution with the information that you are posting.
