Prestashop 1.7.5 Custom module doesn't show up in list

[Vico_b]

Hello,

I'm following the module creation doc from prestashop guide ( this one )

I've done the first step (adding the very basic content of the main class) But when the guide say "you know can see it in the module page in your back office", it doesn't show up in the list.

Here's my class 

 

<?php

if (!defined('_PS_VERSION_')) {
    exit;
}

class infinitescroll extends Module {
    public function __construct() {
        $this->name = 'infinitescroll';
        $this->tab = 'front_office_features';
        $this->version = '1.0.0';
        $this->author = 'Vico motor';
        $this->need_instance = 0;
        $this->ps_versions_compliancy = ['min' => '1.5' , 'max' => '1.8'];
        $this->bootstrap = true;
        
        parent::__construct();
        
        $this->displayName = $this->l('Infinite Scroll');
        $this->description = $this->l('random words');
        
        $this->confirmUninstall = $this->l('delete?');
        
        if(!Configuration::get('INFINITESCROLL_NAME')) {
            $this->warning = $this->l('no name');
        }
        
    }

Try to zip if and upload it this way. Enable debug mode in case any errors come up.

I only get this error

 

Translation not found.
[▼
  "id" => "Administration"
  "domain" => "AdminModulesFeature"
  "locale" => "fr-FR"
]

and 

Matched route "admin_module_manage".

[▼

  "route_parameters" => [▼
    "category" => null
    "keyword" => null

    "_legacy_controller" => "AdminModulesManage"
    "_legacy_link" => [▼
      "AdminModulesManage"
      "AdminModulesSf"

]

This one is not an error, it says "Infos"

And does the module appear in your list after zip upload? If not there should be a red error box coming up in top right corner during upload processing.

[Vico_b]

No, that says the file doesn't look like a module in a pop-in box and no other error than the one I told you about (about the translation)

Is your php file named infinitescroll.php and the zip file infinitescroll.zip?

 

[Vico_b]

Yes

[Vico_b]

Here is the file

infinitescroll.php

[JBW]

Works for me

infinitescroll.zip

[Vico_b]

What the hell?!

I don't understand... With your .zip it works, but not with mine and they have the very same stucture (infinitescroll.zip/infinitescroll/infinitescroll.php) Can you explain that? lol

[Vico_b]

Ok nevermind, shame on me my folder was named ifinitescroll.... I was so focus I didn't noticed. Thank you JBW for your time.

[regatonseb]

I add a response now but I had the same pb...

And the solution is to use another soft to zip your folder. I used 7-zip but it's much better with winrar !

In your infinitescroll.php file you set the tab attribute - section that shall contain the module in PrestaShop’s back office modules list: 

$this->tab = 'front_office_features';

but your module appears in Other category.

I also build my custom module (a payment module) and I want it to appear in Payment category but despite my settings $this->tab = 'payments_gateways'; the module is listed also in Other category. In fact it doesn't matter what you put on tab attribute, the module is always listed in Other category. Why?

You don't need to zip your module in order to install it. Just go to module catalog instead of Modules Manager, and you will find your custom modules.
