seancss Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Hi noobie here, Can't figure this one out, i have created a simple navigation module, it is just a list of linked buttons I want to place at the "top" of every page, my default placement is as follows: function install() { if (!parent::install()) return false; if (!$this->registerHook('leftColumn')) return false; return true; } I can see my module now squashed into the leftColumn, i now went to move it to where the currency changer is in the header, from reading i'm aware that header location places code between <head> tags?, so I went and copied the code from the Currency changer module as follows. return (parent::install() AND $this->registerHook('top') AND $this->registerHook('header')); I am unsure why both header and top are selected here? but this still does not show my module in the header, my module is set to float right and I made it huge with red background just to see would it show but no luck, but it shows if I have leftColumn as stated at the start? Any help would be great loving Presta already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CartExpert.net Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Hello! Do you have 'hookHeader' and/or 'hookTop' function(s)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seancss Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 Seems I have hookHeader not hookTop still no display it says the currency changer I have is placed in the technical name "header", I decided to build a Module as I thought it was best practice but from lack of response I don't know how to figure this one out and may resort to hardcoding it, i'm using the original Prestashop template thanks cartExpert btw.

seancss Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Hello! Without seeing the code it's hard to answer the question or solve your problem. Ye I know what you mean, if this is any help here is the currency block code that shows in the header div at the top of the page, I tried to use the position this allocated without anylook as stated earlyr maybe im missing something, going to go at it again tomarrow class BlockCurrencies extends Module { public function __construct() { $this->name = 'blockcurrencies'; $this->tab = 'front_office_features'; $this->version = 0.1; $this->author = 'PrestaShop'; $this->need_instance = 0; parent::__construct(); $this->displayName = $this->l('Currency block'); $this->description = $this->l('Adds a block for selecting a currency.'); } public function install() { return (parent::install() AND $this->registerHook('top') AND $this->registerHook('header')); } /** * Returns module content for header * * @param array $params Parameters * @return string Content */ public function hookTop($params) { if (Configuration::get('PS_CATALOG_MODE')) return ; global $smarty; $currencies = Currency::getCurrencies(); if (!sizeof($currencies)) return ''; $smarty->assign('currencies', $currencies); return $this->display(__FILE__, 'blockcurrencies.tpl'); } public function hookHeader($params) { if (Configuration::get('PS_CATALOG_MODE')) return ; Tools::addCSS(($this->_path).'blockcurrencies.css', 'all'); } } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CartExpert.net Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Hello! We know how the file for the currencies block looks like. In order to determine what the problem is with the module created by you, we need to see it's source code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
