Hook on homepage

[Pedro Pires]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm very new in prestashop and i'm learning everyday, but I have a big problem and I doní find the solution.

 

I want to hook a new module on my homepage (prestashop v1.5.5.0) and I receive always an error saying that it isn´t possible.!?

 

I don´t know why...

 

Can someone help me?

hello

 

it mean that module doesn't support this hook (position)

what to do?

 

it is necessary to modify module code to support this hook.

may i know what module you're trying to use in home position?

Hello,

 

i tried almost every one... For example a CMS Block, but I need also to hook all the common modules, because I only have the RSS Feed..

CMS block doesn't support home hook.

 

open /modules/blockcms/blockcms.php file

 

add there this function:

 

public function hookHome()
{
return $this->displayBlockCMS(BlockCMSModel::LEFT_COLUMN);
}

(insert it right before the last closing bracket: } )

 

then try to transplant module.

 

in back office define CMS block attached to the left column - you will see it in home hook then.

It worked and appeared on the home page, but on the bottom.

 

Maybe I didn´t explain it in the right way, because I meant Home page and were thinking about the left column on the home page, and what I saw is the what is called Home page is only the main content, isn´t it?

you can change position of module under modules > positions. Then search for "displayHome" modules list and just drag'n'drop blockcms module to new position (you have to change displayHome modules list - make sure that you changin it - not something other)

in this case you have to transplant module to the "displayLeftcolumn" position

Thank u. I knew this step.

When I try this step, it appears, it doesn´t appear on the left side of the home page, but on all the others. Maybe it´s because of the theme that I'm using.

 

By the way, to not open a new topic (I searched all around and dind´t find a solution) when a customer register for the first time, the fiel vat_number doesn´t appear. I made it necessary under Customer>direction. It doesn´t appear with the default theme nor my new theme with prestashop v1.5.6

regarding to the vat field:

 

go to localization > countries

click on edit button near country

then in "address format" just add vat field there
