can't hook block category in footer

[pouet]

With the admin board i've try to push the categories block, but it don't appear !

Categories has hooks for left and right column, not footer

Prestashop will let to place modules in any hook, but that does not mean its supported so it just does not show. If you want it in footer you would need to add the hook. The best way to understand that is search for the word "Hooks"

ok.

so I did this : http://www.prestashop.com/forums/viewthread/12637/modules/_solution_create_hooks_in_6_easy_steps

In my sql i enter :

id_hook : 44 name : CAT title : perso cat description : footer perso position : 1

In footer.php (on the root) :

        'HOOK_FOOTER' => Module::hookExec('footer'),
       'HOOK_CAT' => Module::hookExec('cat'),

In footer.tpl (in my theme directory) :

                {$HOOK_CAT}{$HOOK_FOOTER}

In the admin, I add modules to cat hook...

but nothing appear !

Is someone knows any issue ?

[Ardian Yuli Setyanto]

Hay Guys, it is an easy thing. in each php file per module, you then have to add

function hookFooter($params)

then transplant your module in back office to Footer

I have made customized prestashop template like this in Smallable Beta Custom Prestashop Theme

Good luck.

I works fine !
Thanks a lot Ardian Yuli Setyanto.

For everybody to understand you have to duplicate the entire function "hookLeftColumns($params){ CODE...}" and change the name of the function by the one you want : "hookFooter($params){ CODE...}"


Very great !

[Ardian Yuli Setyanto]

You're welcome.
Good luck

pouet,

What did you put inside the function? I can't find a 'footer' variable to assign this to?

I have:

function hookFooter($params)
{
return $this->hookLeftColumn($params);
}
