Hello....I'm not advanced, but I was able to move the user info block around by changing and/or adding values to blockcart css.

I first used Firebug to experiment and find which mods were necessary, and where. I then made the mods in my default css.

Try it out......

open module .php file and before last bracket } add this code:

	public function hookRightColumn($params)
	{
		if (!$this->active)
			return;

		$this->smarty->assign(array(
			'cart' => $this->context->cart,
			'cart_qties' => $this->context->cart->nbProducts(),
			'logged' => $this->context->customer->isLogged(),
			'customerName' => ($this->context->customer->logged ? $this->context->customer->firstname.' '.$this->context->customer->lastname : false),
			'firstName' => ($this->context->customer->logged ? $this->context->customer->firstname : false),
			'lastName' => ($this->context->customer->logged ? $this->context->customer->lastname : false),
			'order_process' => Configuration::get('PS_ORDER_PROCESS_TYPE') ? 'order-opc' : 'order'
		));
		return $this->display(__FILE__, 'blockuserinfo.tpl');
	}

go to modules > positions

then click on green "transplant" button

from first dropdown select: block user info module

from second dropdown select right column

save changes. Voila! remember to remove userinfo block from displayTop (attention! displayTop not displayHeader!)

Thank you Milos! Solved once again

vekia · November 25, 2013

when you adding products to cart, does the cart works well? i mean you see products after adding products to cart?

5haun · December 19, 2013

Yes they work well

vekia · December 19, 2013

i really appreciate it

with regards,

Milos

I'm using latest version of PS and the above code is already inside the php file. Then I tried to hook it to the right column but it says that this module cannot be moved there. Solution?

i checked latest module core but i can't find this code inside ...

Enoteca · February 9, 2014

Thanks for looking into this. The code is there, trust me (I nstalled PS today).

I also believe you are contradicting yourself by saying that the module can be moved to the right column, because in this 3D you are saying the opposite: http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/268565-solved-login-move-from-top-of-page/

So where's the truth and where can I find a real "customer login module"? The many I found are either too old or bug filled.

so i just wondering how it is possible that you've got this code with default module ... you, or someone else, added it ? or what?

Enoteca · February 10, 2014

My fiend I'm not following you. You are confirming that is the code inside blockuserinfo.php and then wonder who put it there?

Now let's assume PS developers did it.... how can I move the user info block to the right column?

vekia · February 10, 2014

You are confirming that is the code inside blockuserinfo.php

i never said that, i never confirmed that.

this code doesn't exist in blockuserinfo.php file and i checked also github resources,

there is no code you mentioned.

Enoteca · February 10, 2014

English is not my language but you said

original blockuserinfo.php file (from latest release of ps)

an that to me means "the code is taken from the latest version of PS".

Then I'm telling you the code is like that, and to prove it I'm attaching the file. See for yourself, really!

Now, we can continue going on like this forever, the fact is the problem of moving the infoblock goes unsolved to me

blockuserinfo.php

vekia · February 10, 2014

sorry, there is no code that i suggested to use. this is why it doesn't work.

open this file once again and search for

	public function hookRightColumn($params)
	{
		if (!$this->active)
			return;

		$this->smarty->assign(array(
			'cart' => $this->context->cart,
			'cart_qties' => $this->context->cart->nbProducts(),
			'logged' => $this->context->customer->isLogged(),
			'customerName' => ($this->context->customer->logged ? $this->context->customer->firstname.' '.$this->context->customer->lastname : false),
			'firstName' => ($this->context->customer->logged ? $this->context->customer->firstname : false),
			'lastName' => ($this->context->customer->logged ? $this->context->customer->lastname : false),
			'order_process' => Configuration::get('PS_ORDER_PROCESS_TYPE') ? 'order-opc' : 'order'
		));
		return $this->display(__FILE__, 'blockuserinfo.tpl');
	}

it doesn't exist there

tami691 · March 4, 2015

Hi Milos,

I followed your advice, added the missing function in blockuserinfo.php, added the transplant but nothing shows up in the right column of our site.

I thought the problem was the original install function that was:

public function install()
{
return (parent::install() && $this->registerHook('displayTop') && $this->registerHook('displayNav') && $this->registerHook('displayHeader'));
}

so I changed it to:

public function install()
{
return (parent::install() && $this->registerHook('displayTop') && $this->registerHook('displayNav') && $this->registerHook('displayHeader') && $this->registerHook('displayRightColumn'));
}

Then I tried removing the transplant and applying it again, but no luck.

Can you help me please?

Thanks.

Tami

Hi Vekia

I am trying to move the Currency drop down module form the Nav bar into the right colum. I'm using the default bootstrap theme on presta shop 1.6.0.

I think I might be looking at the wrong file? I opened module.php locled at root/ classes/module.

When I paste the code in to this page that you provided above it just gives a white page.

Cna you tell me the location of the module.php that needs to be edited?

thanks

Breda
