Link Issue when having 4 block advertising

[SK01]

Hi. I have duplicated the blockadversiting module and renamed them like this;

blockadvertising

blockadvertising2

blockadvertising3

blockadvertising4

I have also made the changes in each .phop file. Everything works great, but the only problem I have is that when i change the link for 1 ad, it will change for all 4 ads - So i cant have 4 different links..

How can I make them link to specified pages?

Hope u understand what I mean

Did you duplicate the PrestaShop v1.2.5 advertising block or PrestaShop v1.3.1 advertising block?

If you are using the PrestaShop v1.2.5 one, simply change the link in modules/blockadvertising2/blockadvertising.tpl, for example, to a different link.

If you are using the PrestaShop v1.3 one, then you will need to replace 'BLOCKADVERT_LINK' in modules/blockadvertising2/blockadvertising2.php with 'BLOCKADVERT2_LINK'. Modify all the modules so that they all have a unique variable in the database, otherwise all the advertising blocks will overwrite each other's variables.

Hi. I have clone of module advertising from prestashop 1.3, but when I upload module to ftp and clik on backoffice/modules I can see only blank page, when I delete cloned module everything is OK. Can you help me?

This is my cloned ad module:

<?php

class BlockAdvertising extends Module
{
   public $adv_link;
   public $adv_img;
   public $adv_imgname;

   function __construct()
   {
       $this->name = 'blockadvertising2';
       $this->tab = 'Blocks';
       $this->version = 0.1;

       parent::__construct();

       $this->displayName = $this->l('Block advertising 2');
       $this->description = $this->l('Adds a block to display an advertising');

       $this->adv_imgname = 'advertising_custom.jpg';

       if (!file_exists(dirname(__FILE__).'/'.$this->adv_imgname))
           $this->adv_img = _MODULE_DIR_.$this->name.'/advertising.jpg';
       else
           $this->adv_img = _MODULE_DIR_.$this->name.'/'.$this->adv_imgname;
       $this->adv_link = htmlentities(Configuration::get('BLOCKADVERT2_LINK'), ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
   }


   function install()
   {
       Configuration::updateValue('BLOCKADVERT2_LINK', 'http://www.prestashop.com');
       if (!parent::install())
           return false;
       if (!$this->registerHook('rightColumn') OR !$this->registerHook('leftColumn'))
           return false;
       return true;
   }

Edit config/config.inc.php and temporarily change 'display_errors' from 'off' to 'on'. That should give you an error message instead of a blank tab. Post the error message here.

Hi. This is error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class BlockAdvertising in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/blue/classes/Module.php(323) : eval()'d code on line 115

[rocky]

You need to change:

class BlockAdvertising extends Module

to:

class BlockAdvertising2 extends Module

and rename the file to blockadvertising2.php and the directory to blockadvertising2

Thank you. Now is all OK.
