Hook Newsletter to a CMS page

[elenichee]

Hi,

 

I'm very new to Prestashop 1.5... I'm trying to figure out if it's at all possible to display the newsletter signup form on a CMS page, instead of hooking it to the footer or left column block. I would just like to display a link on the Homepage, and when the user clicks on it, he/she will be redirected to a CMS page where he/she can sign up for the newsletter.

 

Is this possible? I've tried searching the forums but the instructions doesn't seem to work for me. Any help will be greatly appreciated.. thanks.

Hi.

 

You will need to create a new hook which is only executed on a CMS page, also you need to create the hook's function in the module and transplant the module to the new hook.

The hook function of the module should be set to verify if the user is on the CMS page, which should display the module.

Hi Robin,

 

Thanks very much for your reply. As I am very new to Prestashop, I am not quite sure how to get that done. Is there some documentation or tutorial available on Prestashop on how to do this?

Hi Robin,

 

I tried the tutorial you recommended but nothing seems to happen on the CMS page. I must be doing something wrong...

 

Just wondering what should I write to replace the //code to execute?

 

public function hookMyHook($params)

{

//CODE TO EXECUTE

}

 

Please help... thanks.

Hi.

 

You need to put there the code that has to be executed. This requires coding knowledge.

Just add this code:

{
 return $this->hookDisplayLeftColumn($params);
}

Hi all, it is solved?

 

I create hook,and insert in cms.tpl this

{if $cms->id == 14}
 {$HOOK_displayTop2} 
{/if}

To module blocknewsletter.php this

public function hookdisplayTop2($params)
{
 return $this->hookDisplayLeftColumn($params);
}	

And here is the result

Notice: Undefined index: HOOK_displayTop2 in /data/web/virtuals/71211/virtual/www/cache/smarty/compile/ff/b1/27/ffb127dd69299a6d85c9f99a891850d2da62493f.file.cms.tpl.php on line 118

Any idea?

do you created {$HOOK_displayTop2} in cms contorller?

 

its better to use {hook::exec('displayTop2')} instead of creating variable in controller
