Making a module change a default behavior without using overrides in Prestashop

[volkovmqx]

I want my PS module to change a default behavior without using overrides. The change I want to do is to add some element to a ".tpl" file.

Is it possible?

You can use hooks to implement additional functionality but you will need to write a module to wrap up the hook functions. Which hook you can use will depend on which template file you need the data to be available to.

 

Basically modifications to Prestashop come in 3 forms (in my order of preference):

 

- Hook (module)

- Custom Controller

- Override
