By default Facebook does not have Left Hook so you need to add one to the .php file within the module.

 

modules/blockfacebook/blockfacebook.php

 

Make some space and add this at or around line 94:

 

public function hookLeftColumn()

{

if (!$this->isCached('blockfacebook.tpl', $this->getCacheId()))

$this->context->smarty->assign('facebookurl', Configuration::get('blockfacebook_url'));

 

return $this->display(__FILE__, 'blockfacebook.tpl', $this->getCacheId());

}

 

 

 

 

After this I had issues with the module displaying correctly in the left column so I changed a few more things.

 

Edit the blockfacebook.tpl file and change the <div> tag at line 28 as below.

 

(changed ID as to not change the cmsinfo block css)

<div id="facebook_block_fan" class="block">  

 

Now edit the global.css file and at or around line 7864 you will find the #facebook_block, cmsinfo_block lines, I removed the facebook_block, from each of these changed the #facebook_block, .facebook_fanbox as below.

 

#facebook_block_fan .facebook-fanbox {

  background: white;

  border: 1px solid #aaaaaa;

  padding-bottom: 10px; 

  width:270px   {*not necassary except for center column*}

  }

 

 

 

 

 

Global.css should look like this when done: lines - 7865-7888

 

 

#cmsinfo_block {

  overflow: hidden;

  background: #f2f2f2;

  min-height: 344px;

  padding-right: 29px;

  padding-left: 29px; }

  @media (max-width: 991px) {

    

    #cmsinfo_block {

      min-height: 348px;

      padding-left: 13px;

      padding-right: 13px; } }

  @media (max-width: 767px) {

   

    #cmsinfo_block {

      width: 100%;

      min-height: 1px; } }

 

#facebook_block_fan .facebook-fanbox {

  background: white;

   padding-bottom: 10px; 

  width:270px

  }

 

If you want the border add      border: 1px solid #aaaaaa;  to above.

 

 

 

 

 

Now go to the BO Modules, Positions and transplant the Facebook block to the DisplayLeftColumn and unhook from the DisplayHome.

Thanks:)

I did exactly as you showed below and it shows perfectly on the left, but the facebook block only shows at homepage. 

If I click on product details, there is only a title "follow us on facebook", but nothing else. Not sure where the problem is from.

Thanks

i don't see likebox on your website, no matter what i check: homepage, product page, category pages etc. there is no likebox

[sbt]

URL:  http://smartertonga.com/prestashop166/

 

I'm testing PS166 and doing modifications. 

 

PS: Milos, I've been following ur tutorials to do the modifications, for example, 3 column, tabs like PS1.5.

Try getting rid of caching

public function hookLeftColumn()
{

$this->context->smarty->assign('facebookurl', Configuration::get('blockfacebook_url'));
 
return $this->display(__FILE__, 'blockfacebook.tpl');
}

I tried this and the whole homepage is not displaying at all.

Thanks

enable error reporting as described in my signature, to see what the error is (might be the missing $params in the method)

[vekia]

hello

instead of modifications of default module, just use one of the free likebox modules,

these addons have much more customization options

and works in left column without modifications.

[sbt]

Thank you! I might just follow Vekia's suggestion as I have no knowledge of coding. 

PS: Your free module of Q&A seems not so compatible with PS1.6.6.

Thanks [spam-filter]!

I tried your free module, which is good. Yet I dont know how to do further modification. Like I want to change "Find us on facebook" to "FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK". If the header can be same style as PS1.6 will be perfect.
