Problem creating prestashop module tutorial

[Juanito]

Hello everyone, I'm new with prestashop and I'm trying to create a new module following the developers tutorial http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS17/Creating+a+PrestaShop+1.7+Module practically the same as the prestashop 1.6 tutorial.

All is fine until this section  http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS17/Displaying+content+on+the+front+office#Displayingcontentonthefrontoffice-Embeddingatemplateinthetheme where I can't make the "click me" link work.

I know there are more topics with similar questions but still doesn't works. Front office view and css works rigth but the link doesn't.

- This is my file structure

 

- Function hookDisplayLeftColumn in the main php file mimodulo.php

 

public function hookDisplayLeftColumn($params)
  {
    $this->context->smarty->assign(
        array(
            'my_module_name' => Configuration::get('MYMODULE_NAME'),
            'my_module_link' => $this->context->link->getModuleLink('mimodulo', 'display')
        )
    );
    return $this->display(__FILE__, 'mimodulo.tpl');
  }

 

- display.php

<?php
class mymoduledisplayModuleFrontController extends ModuleFrontController
{
  public function initContent()
  {
    parent::initContent();
    $this->setTemplate('module:mimodulo/views/templates/front/display.tpl');
  }
}

- mimodulo.tpl

<div id="mymodule_block_home" class="block">
  <h4>Welcome!</h4>
  <div class="block_content">
    <p>Hello,
       {if isset($my_module_name) && $my_module_name}
           {$my_module_name}
       {else}
           World
       {/if}
       !
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="{$my_module_link}" title="Click this link">Click me!</a></li>
    </ul>
  </div>
</div>

 

- display.tpl only contains a h4 tag

 

somebody could help me to see what I'm doing wrong? Thanks

Everyone can help you

Thanks for your reply tdsoft!

I forgot to say that I tested in prestashop versions 1.6 and 1.7

something else that does not seem to work is this line in the constructor method:

$this->tab = 'front_office_features';

the module appears in the "others modules" tab.

Here is the module zip file

mimodulo.zip
