Block new products does not show in a new module / hook

[okidoo]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to figure out why my loop for blocknewproducts does not work in my new module / hook.

 

In my footer.tpl, I have this

<div class="lastRowPageRight col-md-9">
 {hook h='displayLastRowHomePage' mod='blocknewproducts'}
</div>

And for the module blocknewproducts, it have been hooked correctly in my backoffice admin.

 

 

Also, I have generated this part of code in the .php file.

public function hookDisplayLastRowHomePage($params)
	{
	    	if (!Configuration::get('PS_BLOCK_NEWPRODUCTS_DISPLAY') && !($newProducts = Product::getNewProducts((int)$params['cookie']->id_lang, 0, (int)Configuration::get('NEW_PRODUCTS_NBR'))))
		return;


		$this->smarty->assign(array(
		'new_products' => $newProducts,
		'mediumSize' => Image::getSize(ImageType::getFormatedName('medium')),
		));
		return $this->display(__FILE__, 'blocknewproducts.tpl');
	}

In the main template file, it says : {if $new_products !== false} and it starts the foreach. On the reel "New products" page I can see them, but in my new module, nothing shows.

 

Any idea?

perhaps this if condition returns "return" 

	    	if (!Configuration::get('PS_BLOCK_NEWPRODUCTS_DISPLAY') && !($newProducts = Product::getNewProducts((int)$params['cookie']->id_lang, 0, (int)Configuration::get('NEW_PRODUCTS_NBR'))))
		return;

have you tested it without this return?

[okidoo]

When you ask without return? Are you trying to tell me to do this?

public function hookDisplayLastRowHomePage($params)
	{
		$this->smarty->assign(array(
		'new_products' => $newProducts,
		'mediumSize' => Image::getSize(ImageType::getFormatedName('medium')),
		));
		return $this->display(__FILE__, 'blocknewproducts.tpl');
	}

This is what I have tried and the output returns only my <ul>

 

I think it might be my loop in the .tpl file that could be broken.

 

Here is my code from my theme module/block/ .tpl

<!-- MODULE Block new products -->

<section id="new-products_block_right" class="block products_block column_box">

	<h4 class="title_block"><span class="couleur_mauve bold">{l s='New products' mod='blocknewproducts'}</span></h4>

	<div class="block_content toggle_content">

	{if $new_products !== false}

		<ul class="products">

		{foreach from=$new_products item=newproduct name=myLoop}

        	<li class="shop_box clearfix ajax_block_product col-md-3 {if $smarty.foreach.myLoop.first}first_item{elseif $smarty.foreach.myLoop.last}last_item{else}item{/if}">

     

                	<a class="products_block_img" href="{$newproduct.link|escape:'html'}" title="{$newproduct.legend|escape:html:'UTF-8'}"><img src="{$link->getImageLink($newproduct.link_rewrite, $newproduct.id_image, 'medium_default')|escape:'html'}" alt="{$newproduct.legend|escape:html:'UTF-8'}" /></a>

         

                <div >

            	<h5 class="s_title_block">

            	</h5>

            	
            		
				{if $newproduct.description_short}

            		<p class="product_desc">{$newproduct.description_short|strip_tags:'UTF-8'|truncate:60:'...'}</p>

                    <a href="{$newproduct.link|escape:'html'}" class="lnk_more">{l s='Read more' mod='blocknewproducts'} <i class="icon-caret-right"></i></a>

            	{/if}

                </div>

            </li>

		{/foreach}

		</ul>

		<a href="{$link->getPageLink('new-products')|escape:'html'}" title="{l s='All new products' mod='blocknewproducts'}" class="btn btn-default button_large">{l s='All new products' mod='blocknewproducts'}</a>

	{else}

		<p>» {l s='Do not allow new products at this time.' mod='blocknewproducts'}</p>

	{/if}

	</div>
