[SOLVED]Modules not showing on homepage content (in center column)

[draiz]

Hello everyone,

First of all, apologies if this has already been asked and if I'm a bit too new to this.

I'm working on the 1.4.0.12 version of Prestashop for testing and learning purposes. As I mentioned, I am very new to Prestashop but already familiar with the way it works after two days trying out a few things (mainly theme editing and moving modules around).

I'm having an issue at the moment. I'm trying to hook a few modules to the homepage content such as the newsletter block. I hooked the module in the BO and everything shows up fine there, PS tells me it successfully performed the hook. When I go and check the Front, I don't see the module appearing below the text editing module in the center column as I expected it would be.

The same newsletter module shows up fine when I hook it to the right or left column.

Is it normal behavior? Is there something I'm missing? Do I have to change something in the .tpl file of the module to make it show on the center column of the homepage content?

Any help or pointers would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your answers,

Draiz

Note : I'm working on a brand new install with the default theme enabled and no code changes whatsoever.

If you want to hook it to the home page, you must add the following method in modules/blocknewsletter/blocknewsletter.php:

function hookHome($params) {
   return $this->hookLeftColumn($params);
}

Thank you very much, Ultra. Turns out I haven't been searching in the right places for that answer and it IS normal behavior!
