Transplant module ERROR

[innocuous]

Hi,

I have hidden the right and left columns on home page and resized to 976px.

I want to add new products block below featured products on the home page.

 

I am trying to transplant the module as below:

 

Module: New products block

Hook into: "homepage content" known as displayhome

Exceptions: blank

 

However i am getting the error " This module cannot be transplanted to this hook."

 

Why is this and what can I do to solve?

Using default theme prestashop 1.5.1

Thanks

Most modules are limited in terms of where they can be hooked into. For the "New products block" this is limited to the right or left columns. This is determined in their php files. Just check /modules/blocknewproducts/blocknewproducts.php and compare this to /modules/homefeatured/homefeatured.php. You'll see "public function hookRightColumn($params)" and "public function hookLeftColumn($params)" at the end in blocknewproducts.php that allows hooking in those columns. While there's "public function hookDisplayHome($params)" at the end of homefeatured.php for hooking in the homepage content position.

 

It might work when you just replace 'public function hookRightColumn($params)" with public function hookDisplayHome($params)" in blocknewproducts.php but I haven't checked this. If this works, you'll still have to modify this module's tpl and css files so that it looks ok on the homepage.

Thanks. I'll try this.

My homepage has only centre column. I want to display best sellers, new products and some advertisement blocks to prep up the page. With just featured items, it looks too limited!

you should:

 

1) clear browser cache

2) try to turn force compilation on
