what module transplant to what hook?

[yunodira]

Hi,

 

I was in the tinkering stage of my new prestashop 1.5 install. I found some modules can't be transplanted to certain hooks. For example, manufacturer block to footer. My question is;

1. What modules can be transplanted to, say, footer, or header, or any hook; and what cannot? Is there any way to differentiate them in a glance?
   
2. What can we do to make those modules hooked to the hook we'd like to hook? Step by step advice is greatly appreciated.

1. It's because code in the module allows to transplant only to specified in module hooks.

2. You must edit module source, are you ready?

A bit discouraging...

1. How did you know which specific module isn't transplantable to specific hook?
   
2. Given that free theme is still very few (which none if fairly favorable than the default), restricting so many modules to latch onto footer sounds ridiculous. Sure then, which file we must edit?
   

I found tutorial on modules which is located here, but it hasn't reached this transplanting thing, hence the 2nd point.
