How to add text

[BellaHarry]

Hi, this is my first time here. I am using PrestaShop 1.6 and am a complete novice.

 

I would like to add text to my category pages at the bottom after the products and before footer.

 

I don't know how to use hooks, I am totally confused. Could someone please help? I didn't think it would be so hard to add text to any page other than the home page.

 

Thank you.

Are you willing to add some generic text, identical for all categories, or specifically for each?

The latter would require you to edit php files as well, or creating a module

Yes, specifically for each. Are you able to give me an example that I could adapt to my requirements?

Thank you, I would like to add different text to the bottom of my pages as well. Are there any tutorials to show us how to  edit the php files so we can do this?

It's explained in my modules course actually, virtually impossible to describe step by step here in the forum.
Basically create a module that creates a new hook, have it hook to the category back office as well. It also needs to whether extend the category class or create a new table to hold the setting

Then it would add a box in the category config page through that hook, where you could save the text for each category.

The last step would be adding the hook variable to category.tpl (theme folder) to display stuff.

The module obviously needs to output through it
