Looking to move the User Info Block to the left column

[Spac3]

I am trying to move the user info block which includes the cart button from the header to the left column. I have prestashop 1.5.5.

Maybe this thread helps (There's a thread mentioned inside this thread as well, go all the way through):

hello

 

0) open blockuserinfo.php file located in module directory. Before the last bracket } add this code:

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

1) go to modules > positions

2) click on transplant button (green button in "header")

3) from modules list select user info block

4) from hooks select displayLeft

5) save changes.

So I have the user info block now in the left column, but I have two issues:

 

1) The user info block still shows up in the header and I can't find the code to remove it

2) Because the user info block is not regular block the categories block over laps the user info

1) modules > positions tab in back office. Search for displayTop and remove block user info from this modules list (warning! don't remove module from displayHeader modules list, it must be removed from displayTop!)

 

2) you need to define css styles for cart block: clear:both; display:block;

Thanks, okay, last question. The java animation that shows you the contents of the cart if you scroll your mouse over the cart button is gone. Also when you add an item to cart the animation of the item moving to the cart button is also gone; the page reloads and it updates the number of items in the cart. Is this easily fixable?

blockuserinfo module uses "blockcart" module to roll out products list and cart specification.

You have to use also block cart module.

 

can you share url to your website? i will inspect code then
