No problem, so as I said, this only work in 1.5.
In one of your template, just add the hook you want

For example, index
{hook h='displayMyNewHook'}

Then, you can create one (or more) module with this method :
/modules/mymodule/
/modules/mymodule/mymodule.php

Content of mymodule.php

class MyModule extends Module
{
    function __construct()
    {
        $this->name = 'mymodule';
        $this->tab = 'advertising_marketing';
        $this->author = 'Your name';
        $this->version = '1.0';
        $this->need_instance = 0;

        parent::__construct();

        $this->displayName = $this->l('My Module');
        $this->description = $this->l('Example of module');
    }

    public function install()
    {
	   // Here the registerHook method will check if the hook exists, if not it will add it to table ps_hook
        return (parent::install() AND $this->registerHook('displayMyNewHook');
    }

    public function hookDisplayMyNewHook($params)
    {
	   return 'myDisplay';
    }
}

Now, you have "myDisplay" displayed where you put your hook.
If you want to see this hook in your adminpanel to have the possibility to change order of module which are hooked on.
You will have (unfortunately) to go to you phpmyadmin and set the flag "position" to 1 in the table ps_hook for this hook.

Tell me if something is not clear

The fact that you do not see it in your back office, it's because you have to set the flag "position" to 1 in your table.
(I forgot to set this flag when I coded it).

Has this flag been added yet? Justs so i know.

[Fabien Serny]

What do you mean by "added" ?
This flag is existing for a while (even in PrestaShop 1.4). It's just not set to value 1 when you create it by registering a module on it.

[shoulders]

Hi Fabien

what i ment was, when a new hook, is registered in the new way, earlier in the thread you said:

Quote

For making the hook appear in you admin panel, you just have to set the flag "position" to 1 in your database.

and then you said

(I forgot to set this flag when I coded it).

Were you going to alter the registerHook function to set the positional flag to 1.

I know we can use the 'Display Non Positional Hooks' option in the backend

Hi,

Sorry I did not understand your question at first ^^
I'm not working at PrestaShop anymore (since last july). So no, I am not going to alter the registerHook function.
But you should ask for it on GitHub or on the forge.

[shoulders]

i will get this added to the forge.

Hi,
I used this method of creating hooks but I can't display anything in this new created hook. I want display a homeslider in my new hook, but I getting message: "This module cannot be transplanted to this hook."

I added my new hook into center of page

<!-- Center -->
<div id="center_column" class=" grid_5">
<div class="sliderPlease">
{hook h='sliderHook'}
</div>

then I added it into the install method in the homeslider.php

if (parent::install() && $this->registerHook('displayHome') && $this->registerHook('actionShopDataDuplication') && $this->registerHook('sliderHook'))

And at the bottom of the homeslider.php I added hook function

public function sliderHook($params)
{
	if(!$this->_prepareHook())
return;

// Check if not a mobile theme
if ($this->context->getMobileDevice() != false)
return false;

$this->context->controller->addJS($this->_path.'js/jquery.bxSlider.min.js');
$this->context->controller->addCSS($this->_path.'bx_styles.css');
$this->context->controller->addJS($this->_path.'js/homeslider.js');
return $this->display(__FILE__, 'homeslider.tpl');
}

But It's not working. The hook is installed and I can see it in BO, but I can't hook anything inside it.
Please could somebody tell my what I do wrong????

[Fabien Serny]

Hi Xezus,

It's because you have to rename your method hookSliderHook() instead of sliderHook()

[kalai20078]

Hello Fabien,

This is a useful topic.

I Want to hook a module in my CMS page how can i do this with the help of your guide here.
If you can guide it would be great...

Thanks...

[smartdatasoft]

http://www.prestasho...-into-cms-page/

There you will find more details. If you need more help inform me.

[kalai20078]

Hi smartdatasoft

Thankyou for your response i actually followed the post you have give in your response, still i cant make it work i have added a post in the below link the same ill past it here...

http://www.prestasho...ge/page__st__20

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Am using PS 1.5.3.1

I want hook a module which already installed in home page and i have duplicated the module uploaded into the modules directory.

I followed exactly the same steps mentioned here in this post as followes

#1. Created a hook entry in PS_Hook table (HOOK_DESIGNMYSHIRT)

#2. In cms.tpl file from Module/Mymodule/cms.tpl i added the following

{if ($cms->link_rewrite == 'designmyshirt')}
{$HOOK_DESIGHNMYSHIRT}
{/if}

#3. Im cms.php file from the root directory i added the following


$smarty->assign(array(
'cms' => $cms,
'HOOK_DESIGHNMYSHIRT' => Module::hookExec('designmyshirt'), // Custom hook for mycmspage
'content_only' => intval(Tools::getValue('content_only'))
));
$smarty->display(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'cms.tpl');

#4. In the modules folder the module php file mymodule.php i added the following

public function install(){
if (parent::install() && $this->registerHook('HOOK_DESIGHNMYSHIRT'))


after at the end of this same file i added the below function

function hookdesignmyshirt($params)
{
if ($xml = $this->_xml)
{
global $cookie, $smarty;
$smarty->assign(array(
'xml' => $xml,
'title' => 'title_'.$cookie->id_lang,
'text' => 'text_'.$cookie->id_lang
));
return $this->display(__FILE__, $this->cms.'.tpl');
}
return false;
}

After this i installed the module and checked in the BO position. the module is displayed in the hook in BO
When i check the CMS page nothing is displayed even if i configure the module from BO.

I checked the Apache error log i get this following error

Notice: Undefined index: HOOK_DESIGHNMYSHIRT in G:\\WAMP Server\\wamp\\www\\rave\\cache\\smarty\\compile\\e2fae568d255bdaa47e61a9405a623865dd4d436.file.cms.tpl.php on line 40, referer: http://localhost/rav...70f78b7d317be98

I want this module to be placed in center of the CMS page...

Have i did everything correctly please help me to solve this issue....


Thanks....

[Fabien Serny]

Hi Kalai,

If you're on PrestaShop 1.5, you do not have to create an entry in ps_hook and you don't have to make modification in cms.php.
You just have to follow what I'm saying on my differents posts in this topic
- Add your hook in cms.tpl {hook h='designMyShirt'}
- Then in your module, add the registerHook('designMyShirt')
- Create in your module the method hookDesignMyShirt()

[Fabien Serny]

And about your error (even if you did not use the right way), your problem might comme the fact you wrote
$this->registerHook('HOOK_DESIGHNMYSHIRT') instead of $this->registerHook('designmyshirt')

[kalai20078]

Thanks Fabien ill give it a try...

[kalai20078]

Thanks Fabien it works....

hi fabien , after awhile i did your instruction and it works fine...thank you
but i have one unknown problem
for example made some changes to blockreinsurance module and hook it to new hook that its made with your instruction , but CSS doesn't load with new hook!
as you know css load with this line :

$this->context->controller->addCSS($this->_path.'style.css', 'all');

it works properly with Footer Hook ( and other hooks too ) but when i use your method css doesnt load and must to define css codes to global css.

i add this div to footer.tpl :

<div class="bankicon">{hook h='BankHook'}</div>

and this is detail of module php :


public function install()
{
return parent::install() &&
$this->installDB() &&
Configuration::updateValue('blockbankicon_nbblocks', 5) &&
$this->registerHook('BankHook') && $this->installFixtures();
}


public function hookBankHook($params)
{

// Check if not a mobile theme
if ($this->context->getMobileDevice() != false)
return false;

$this->context->controller->addCSS($this->_path.'style.css', 'all');
if (!$this->isCached('blockbankicon.tpl', $this->getCacheId()))
{
$infos = $this->getListContent($this->context->language->id);
$this->context->smarty->assign(array('infos' => $infos, 'nbblocks' => count($infos)));
}
return $this->display(__FILE__, 'blockbankicon.tpl', $this->getCacheId());
}

what you think about this issue ?

Hi Raven,

For what I remember addCSS and addJS only works in hookHeader for 1.4
The loop which write css and js inclusion is in header.tpl and it is displayed before others hooks are called.

But I thought it should work on 1.5 since a layout is present.
I will test it and come back to you.

for example in this sample :
public function hookFooter($params)
{
css load correctly...
