[SOLVED] Transplant horizontal menu to TopColumn

[steviger]

Hi guys,

 

I would like to move the horizontal top menu just below the slider like the design in the attached image. Apparently it can't be transplanted to the hook displayTopColumn.
I found this post but there's no reaction (yet).The Vekia solution is for transplanting the module to displayHeader section.

 

Anyone?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Steven

Yes it is possible.

 

You should override core file of this module and add to horizontal menu new hook.

Hi,

 

Thanks for your reply. I read your article and I think I do understand the override principle but since I'm not really (or rather really not..) a coder, could you help me with an example for my situation?

It will be much appreciated!

Try to add this code in override/modules/blocktopmenu:

class BlocktopmenuOverride extends Blocktopmenu
{
	public function __construct()
	{
		parent::__construct();

		if($this->id && !$this->isRegisteredInHook('displayTopColumn'))
			$this->registerHook('displayTopColumn');
	}

	public function install($delete_params = true)
	{
		$this->registerHook('displayTopColumn');
		return parent::install();
	}

	public function hookDisplayTopColumn($params)
	{
		return $this->hookDisplayTop($params);
	}
}

Thanks man, works like a charm!

 

For those who want the same thing, here's what I did:

 

In the folder override I made a folder called blocktopmenu. Inside that folder I put a blocktopmenu.php with this code:

<?php
class BlocktopmenuOverride extends Blocktopmenu
{
	public function __construct()
	{
		parent::__construct();

		if($this->id && !$this->isRegisteredInHook('displayTopColumn'))
			$this->registerHook('displayTopColumn');
	}

	public function install($delete_params = true)
	{
		$this->registerHook('displayTopColumn');
		return parent::install();
	}

	public function hookDisplayTopColumn($params)
	{
		return $this->hookDisplayTop($params);
	}
}

Next I transplanted the module to displayTopColumn section. Go to modules > positions tab in the back office. On the top right window part you can see anchor icon with "transplant a module" text. Click on it and you will see form where you have to:

    from first dropdown named "Module" select: Top horizontal menu
    from second dropdown named "Hook into" select "displayTopColumn (Top column blocks)"

Finally, don't forget to change the order in the displayTopcolumn section in order to display the menu under or above the slideshow. You can find it here: modules > positions tab in the back office>bottom of the page.

Works fine in PS 1.6.1.0! Thank you both!

 

The override full path is:

 

root/override/modules/blocktopmenu/blocktopmenu.php

Hi I try your solution and it works except I get the alert message "This module is already transplanted to this hook".

 

I'm trying the same with module Blockcmsinfo but I get an error "js_def" in the frontend.

Any help please?

[steviger]

Hi,

 

What module causes the message?

[whoaloic]

I have tried both HorizontalTopMenu and Blockcmsinfo and got the message "This module is already transplanted to this hook".

Although I get this message, I have manage to hook a new position for HorizontalTopMenu but not for Blockcmsinfo.
