[Solved] How can I create a new hook for holding module(s) ?

[John-nl]

By default Prestahop uses displayNav1 and displayNav2 to display modules in header.tpl.

I want to create a new hook displayNav3 so I can assign modules to it using positions in the BO. I have added displayNav3 at the ps_hook table, but this hook is not visible as a new (empty) hook on the positions page.

What am I missing?

Hi,

You also need to define displayHook in the theme/module template files like 

{hook h='displayNav3'}

& just register the hook from your module. I believe after module registration in the hook, It will be displayed in the position section.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. I understand the {hook h='displayNav3'} part in .tpl files.

But i don't think that i need to register a new module. I don't have one :-) displayNav2 is a hook with 4 modules. I wan't to create displayNav3 with 1 existing module.

Any suggestions?

Okay.

I have searched & tried the same at our end.  I have added the displayNav3 in my table & Using the transplant a module option (Under Design -> Position), I am able to transplant the CMS modules (like Social link, Menu etc) in displayNav3.

Try "Transplant a module" option. I hope it will help.

Thank's a lot for the time you spend to find a answer to my question.

I now have a working displayNav3, great!
