What is {hook h="xxxx"}

[tomoac]

Hi

 

I installed prestashop1.6 on my server.

I saw default theme that is "default-bootstrap".

 

I tried to change part of theme. I found {hook h="displayTopColumn"} in "header.tpl". 

What is that?

 

How can I find code in displayTopColumn?

 

Regards,

This is a display hook named displayTopColumn. Consider the display hooks as markers in the template where modules can "inject" a code. In the default PrestaShop 1.6 installation this hook is used by the module "homeslider" i.e. "Image slider for your homepage", so you can find the code that generates code for that hook at modules/homeslider/homeslider.php The method is called "hookdisplayTopColumn()".

modules -> positions

search for modules list named displayTopColumn

 

each module associated with this hook displays own code.

it means that you will have to find your code inside these modules, exactly as PrestaShopDeveloper mentioned

I could find code. 

But I am not sure that mechanism. I am thinking.

Thanks anyway.
