Backoffice : Modules and displayBackOfficeHeader

[masterblaster]

Hello,
I tried to upgrade my company installation from 1.5 to 1.6 in order to be ready for next week official release.

Everything looks great except one issue :

I have a couple of custom modules that rely on " displayBackOfficeHeader " hook to show some .js and HTML content on back office product pages (in information tab, under product "UPC") by returning a TPL to the hook.

public function hookDisplayBackOfficeHeader($params) { 
global $smarty;

{some_code_here}

return $this->display(_FILE_, '/product_view.tpl');
}

After 1.6 upgrade I can't find the "hooked" content on back office, modules worked great on 1.4 and 1.5...

Can you pls inform me if something has changed on this side ?

 

Thanks.

try with hookdashboardZoneTwo

Hello , I tried to register the following hooks :

 

dashboardZoneTwo

dashboardZoneOne

dashboardData

 

with no luck. No data is displayed on backoffice product page.

 

Any idea ?

you must use hookdashboardZoneTwo and click on "Transplant a module" in your module or re-install it

Hello,

yes I know how to transplant a hook.

 

I did all the tests and also un-transplanted the old hook.

 

I was thinking it could depend from the fact that my hook was returning a "tpl" :

 

return $this->display(__FILE__, '/product_view.tpl');

 

But I also tried to return a string in order to test it , and nothing was displayed on backoffice.

 

Any other suggestion ?

 

Thank you.

Hello,

I see that :

 

dashboardZoneTwo

dashboardZoneOne

dashboardData

 

are displayed on main dashboard Back office page, but not in product page.

 

I resolved my issues by using the hook DisplayAdminProductsExtra  to create a new tab and show there my content, but I have stil major issues.

 

The hook content loads a javascript to show some dynamic HTML box, so it looks like :

public function hookdisplayAdminProductsExtra($params)

{ .....

return $this->display(__FILE__, 'views/templates/hook/product_view.tpl');

}

However , the TPL content is not showed in hook position, I also tried to load the JS file with $this->context->controller->addjs method, but same unlucky result.

I also tried to load the JS in header first (hookDisplayBackOfficeHeader), it is loaded in compiled HTML but not rendered inside the hook.

Note that I already checked that hook is nested properly, and that works (I tried to return an echo and it worked OK)

Note that the TPL file contains some basilar Javascript code:

 

<script type="text/javascript">

 

$(document).ready(function(){

 

var insertPoint = $("#step1 table tbody")[0]; 

$(insertPoint).prepend(function () {

return "{some html to show a checkbox here}";

});

 

 

 

})

 

</script>

 

 

 

The same module worked flawlessy until 1.5.6.2 version.
