New products - changing hook to Home Content

[adam.zaydlar]

Hi,

 

I have tried to adjust New products to be shown on Home hook (cannot do that by default) - PS 1.6. I have therefore inserted following code to blocknewproducts.php:

 

public function hookdisplayHome($params)

{

if (!$this->isCached('blocknewproducts_home.tpl', $this->getCacheId('blocknewproducts-home')))

{

$this->smarty->assign(array(

'new_products' => BlockNewProducts::$cache_new_products,

'mediumSize' => Image::getSize(ImageType::getFormatedName('medium')),

'homeSize' => Image::getSize(ImageType::getFormatedName('home'))

));

}

 

if (BlockNewProducts::$cache_new_products === false)

return false;

 

return $this->display(__FILE__, 'blocknewproducts_home.tpl', $this->getCacheId('blocknewproducts-home'));

}

 

I am able to select this hook but new products are shown only if New products module is also hooked to left column. 

 

Could you advise me what I did wrong or what needs to be further changed (and how)?

 

Thank you!!!

you forgot about this code:
 

if (!isset(BlockNewProducts::$cache_new_products))
				BlockNewProducts::$cache_new_products = $this->getNewProducts();

Hi vekia,

 

thank you for your reply! Could you please also advise me how the whole code should look like? I got error in presta after implementing this (I guess it was my fault).

 

Thank you!

 

EDIT: now it is ok and working perfectly!
