How To Use Hook Displayproductpriceblock With Type Old_Price

[marck.prinsloo]

Hi

 

I'm developing a custom module that should show a new price underneath the standard price. I found a hook that should work (displayProductPriceBlock ) and it does but it runs my tpl file for every type of this hook. How can I specifically choose to only display it at {hook h="displayProductPriceBlock" product=$product type="price"} and not at {hook h="displayProductPriceBlock" product=$product type="unit_price"}

 

Thank you.

The hook in your module will run on everytime, regardless, so in your module check the type variable and if it isn't the one you want just return out of the hook without loading your template.

Thank you for the reply. How do I check the type variable?

[roja45]

it'll be passed in as a parameter to the hook.  without checking I'm not sure what exactly it'll be, something like $params['type'] I would guess.  Easiest way would be to attach a debugger and have a look, or print_r($params) in your hook code.

thank you roja45, it was $params['type'] exactly as you said  . I appreciate your help.

Hi !

Facing same issue with default boostrap template 1.6.1.11 , the hook appears 2 times for each type depending of grid/list on displayList true or false.

So the hook is duplicate two times, some jquery function targeting some specific id fall in true mess... 

So the solution belongs in turning id in class but that's not a clean way to deal with...

I have had the same difficulty but with version 1.7 and I have solved it in this way:

     public function renderWidget($hookName = null, array $configuration = [])
    {
        if (!$this->isCached($this->templateFile, $this->getCacheId('ivainfo'))) {
            $this->smarty->assign($this->getWidgetVariables($hookName, $configuration));
         }
        
        if ( $hookName == 'displayProductPriceBlock' && $configuration['type'] != 'price') {
         return false;
         }

         return $this->fetch($this->templateFile, $this->getCacheId('ivainfo'));
    }

So when the hook is 'displayProductPriceBlock' but not of the "price" type, the whidget will not be displayed.

I know it's an old post, but maybe others are also looking for a similar solution.
