[SOLVED]Hook Module Newsletter

[Kaby]

Hi all,

 

I am using Prestashop 1.5.4.0 and I am trying to re-hook my newsletter block (in the right column).

 

Here is what I do:

 

- In the module install I have this line:

if (!parent::install() || !$this->registerHook('leftColumn') || !$this->registerHook('header') || !$this->registerHook('rightColumn'))
return false;

- Then I have this function:

public function hookDisplayRightColumn($params)
{
return $this->hookDisplayLeftColumn($params);
}

I reseted the module but I can't hook this newsletter block on ANY module of prestashop  (Right Column, Left Column, Header...)

 

I have the error message "You cannot hook this block here" (I don't know the exact English message.

 

What might I have forget ?

 

Thanks !

Because you need register the right hook in the install function.

Hi ty for your reply !

 

Isn't it what I am doing with :

$this->registerHook('rightColumn')

?

 

Thanks

You need uninstall and install again the module to register the hook, or you can move it in module positions.

[Kaby]

Well thanks again for your help, you basically advice me to do what I have done already (see the initial post)...

[Rolige]

Ok sorry, but there is nothing more to be done, that's the correct way to display it in the right column.

i think your are mispelling the hooks maybe?

 

can you try this?

if (!parent::install() || !$this->registerHook('displayLeftColumn') || !$this->registerHook('displayHeader') || !$this->registerHook('displayRightColumn'))
return false;

than reinstall the module

Hi !

 

Indeed I had a long and meticulous look on the naming of hooks and here is what I get now, which works:

 

if (!parent::install() || !$this->registerHook('leftColumn') || !$this->registerHook('rightColumn'))
return false;

The here is the name of my functions:

 

public function hookLeftColumn($params)
{
$this->_prepareHook($params);
$this->context->controller->addCSS(($this->_path).'blocknewsletter.css', 'all');
return $this->display(__FILE__, 'blocknewsletter.tpl', $this->getCacheId());
}


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

So that was actually a matter of right spelling of the name of hooks and functions, thanks for pointing me that issue ! And don't toatally understand as the hookDisplayLeftColumn function was the native one from the module.

 

Have a nice day all ! Ty again !

I think if you use $this->registerHook('displayLeftColumn')

 

the function should be named hookDisplayLeftColumn()

 

if you remove the "display" part from the hook registration the function should be renamed accordingly
