Display non-positionable hook

[s@fsoft]

Dear all,

 

As you know, there are a lot of hooks in Prestashop (about near70 hooks).

But more of them are not used.

 

For a given module, if we just transplant the module to one of these non used hook (Example: HOOK_EXTRA_RIGHT) Does it shows in the front office.

(Of course we add the corresponded fuinction to the php class...)

 

I want to add a new module in the right block of product page

I have notice:

 

  {if $HOOK_EXTRA_RIGHT}{$HOOK_EXTRA_RIGHT}{/if}

 

But even If I transplant correctly a module, it does not show?

 

As shown in the attached pic, the module in transplanted correctly in the Hook, but nothing appears in the FO.

 

 

What is the secret behind these non-positionable hooks ?

 

Some one can help me?

 

Thanks a lot
