Prestashop hook and override module

[okisam]

I created a hook and I want to move there a module. I override the FrontController.php within the override folder (override/clases/controller/FrontController.php).

self::$smarty->assign(array(

‘HOOK_HEADER’ => Module::hookExec(‘header’),

‘HOOK_TOP’ => Module::hookExec(‘top’),

‘HOOK_NEWHOOK’ => Module::hookExec(‘DisplayNewHook’),

‘HOOK_LEFT_COLUMN’ => Module::hookExec(‘leftColumn’)

));

Then I edited the php file module to add:

function hookNewHook($params) { return $this->hookTop( $params ); }

And it works correctly. But is not there another way to do this? Because if the module is updated, the changes will be lost.

Thank you very much.

the only other way I know would be to create a new module based on the one you want to modify (in that way, in case of update of the original module), you will not lose your modification BUT you will not get the update of the module too.

 

There is no way for the moment to override the module php file, which is pitty.

Thank you very much. It is very important for me to know that this is not possible.
