Home featured products to new div

[trustweb]

Hello, i am trying to move home featured products outside of the columns div in a "newdiv" as follow:

 

<header>
   hook header
</header>
<container>
   <div central_column>
   .
   <!-- here is the featured products block -->
   .
   </div>
   <div right_column>
    hook right column
   </div>
</container>
<newdiv><--! here where i want to show featured products --></newdiv>
<footer>
   hook footer
</footer>

 

 

 

to do this i edited FrontController.php adding the hook to display footer ( 'HOOK_FEATURED_HOME' => Module::hookExec('homeFeatured') ):

 

public function displayFooter()
   {

       if (!self::$initialized)
           $this->init();

       self::$smarty->assign(array(
           'HOOK_RIGHT_COLUMN' => Module::hookExec('rightColumn', array('cart' => self::$cart)),
           'HOOK_FEATURED_HOME' => Module::hookExec('homeFeatured'),
           'HOOK_FOOTER' => Module::hookExec('footer'),
           'content_only' => (int)(Tools::getValue('content_only'))));
       self::$smarty->display(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'footer.tpl');
       //live edit
       if (Tools::isSubmit('live_edit') AND $ad = Tools::getValue('ad') AND (Tools::getValue('liveToken') == sha1(Tools::getValue('ad')._COOKIE_KEY_)))
       {
           self::$smarty->assign(array('ad' => $ad, 'live_edit' => true));
           self::$smarty->display(_PS_ALL_THEMES_DIR_.'live_edit.tpl');
       }
       else
           Tools::displayError();
   }

 

 

 

on the file footer.tpl i added the hook:

 

		   <!-- featured products -->
               {if $page_name == 'index'}
                   <div id="homeFeatured">
                       {$HOOK_FEATURED_HOME}
                   </div>
               {/if}

 

 

i added in the DB

id name title descritption position live_edit

97 homeFeatured Home Featured Products NULL 0 0

 

 

in module/homefeatured/homefeatured.php i added:

 

function install()
   {
       if (!Configuration::updateValue('HOME_FEATURED_NBR', 8) OR !parent::install() OR !$this->registerHook('home') OR !$this->registerHook('homeFeatured'))
           return false;
       return true;
   }

 

and at the end of the class

 

function homeFeatured($params)
   {
   //    return $this->hookHome($params);
       echo 'hook test';

   }

 

 

i didn't see anything in the div newdiv.

when i try to transplant the module to the new hook in the back office i receive:

 

This module cannot be transplanted to this hook.

Hi,

 

The module homefeatured has only hookHome method that is why you have this error.

 

You must modify the module by adding a

public function hookFooter($params){ your code..}

 

This after module re-install may fix the error message.

 

Good dev
