Move "blockcmsinfo" module under "Top horizontal menù"

[Gianluca Trevisan]

Hi
I'm new here and I'm developing an e-commerce with the purpose for selling packaging products.
I'm asking you if is possible to move the "blockcmsinfo" module under the "Top horizontal menu" in the position "displayTopColumn".
I append some images for clarification.
Thanks in avance

I tried some similar some days ago. It is not that easy. Block CMS does not provide a hook for this position - unfortunately.

I think you would need the Hook DisplayTop.

 

A quick and dirty untested approach:

 

1) Uninstall BlockCMSInfo Module

2) Make a copy of your blockcmsinfo.php first or make a module override into the corresponding folder.

3) Then add a function called within override or at the existing place.

public function hookDisplayTop($params) {
   return hookHome($params);
}

Above code should just add  the new hook by using the existing function from display home.

4) Also change the Install function by adding the additional registerHook line for displaytop.

    public function install()
    {
        return     parent::install() &&
                $this->installDB() &&
                $this->registerHook('home') &&
                $this->registerHook('displaytop') &&
                $this->installFixtures() &&
                $this->disableDevice(Context::DEVICE_TABLET | Context::DEVICE_MOBILE);
    }

5) If you use override, delete the file ../cache/class_index.php - if you don't do that, the override will not take effect.

6) Reinstall the module. Reinstalling makes the new hook available.

7) Check the Modules Hook under -> Modules -> Position. If under wrong positikon, delete the  Hook Home and add Hook DisplayTop.

8) Some CSS changes might be needed.
