Hook New Products Block In Homepage Content

[GoGoMo]

How do I hook the New Products block into the Homepage content beneath the Image Slider and Featured Products? When I click Transplant a module to try to hookin the New Products module into Homepage content displayhome I get the following error This module cannot be transplanted to this hook. I tried changing the position of the New Products Block using live edit but the position change wouldn't take effect. When I selected unhook selection to remove New Products block from the Header of pages but this left things looking really messy in the right column so I restored the hook. I have Prestashop v1.5.3.1 installed on localhost Xampp v1.8.1. Windows 7 Professional 32-bit

You will need to open blocknewproducts.php and add:

public function hookDisplayHome($params)
{
 return $this->hookRightColumn($params);
}

Befor or after:

 

public function hookLeftColumn($params)
{
 return $this->hookRightColumn($params);
}

 

Then you'll be able to transplant the module into home page content.

doubleD, thanks for the help, although it appears that the block is not suitable to be placed at homepage content in my site

btw. instead of changing hooks, it's also necessary to modify css styles and tpl file of module.

Hi,

 

I want to display new products in my home page like in tab content so in file blocknewproducts.php I add:

public function hookdisplayHome($params)
	{
		if (!$this->isCached('blocknewproducts_home.tpl', $this->getCacheId('blocknewproducts-home')))
		{
			$this->smarty->assign(array(
					'new_products' => BlockNewProducts::$cache_new_products,
					'mediumSize' => Image::getSize(ImageType::getFormatedName('medium')),
					'homeSize' => Image::getSize(ImageType::getFormatedName('home'))
			));
		}
		
		if (BlockNewProducts::$cache_new_products === false)
			return false;
		
		return $this->display(__FILE__, 'blocknewproducts_home.tpl', $this->getCacheId('blocknewproducts-home'));
	}

and the problem is why sometimes it's work and another time don't. Of course I clean cache and add this module to thoose hooks: displayHomeTab, displayHomeTabContent bcs It's work better with this hooks or maybe I have luck. Thanks for help.

 

Kind regards
