El Patron Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 If I remember correctly, you must associate a 'featured' product to home category for it to be picked up by Featured module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Thanks for the response Regarding your suggestion i have already add categories to home categories. (previously i have update the module and after the update the module does not display in homepage and i tried various method which doesn't work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vekia Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 your module is not associated with displayHome hook make sure that it is there if module will be there it should display "no featured products" at the moment there is no text so i assume that module is not associated with position i mentioned go to modules > positions and verify it please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI i have transplant featured product into "displayHome" but when i do that the whole website was corrupted. Fatal error: Call to undefined method HomeFeatured::getCacheId() in/home/discover/public_html/modules/homefeatured/homefeatured.php on line 130 (P.S. i have created a new transplant to displayHome and at the same time deleted the one on displayHeader) Please help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 module you're trying to use doesn't work because it uses caching, your prestashop version (that you actually use) doesnt support caching for modules this is why you see error you mentioned. how you got this module? downloaded from somewhere?

Can this be solve? or is there anyother default module which is similar to "feature products on homepage" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 displayHeader is necessary hook for this module this hook loads necessary libraries (this hook doesnt display any visible datas!) you have to modify module code or grab module from prestashop 1.5.2.0 package and upload it in your shop don't upgrade module! it will affect it and install functions that are not available in 1.5.2.!

vekia Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 im affraid that in this case it's necessary to inspect module, shop and several connected things without access to store it will be impossible, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
