Unable to "Transplant Module" to Homepage (displayhome)

[innocuous]

Hi,

Prestashop 1.5.1

Default theme

 

I am unable to transplant ANY module to homepage displayhome

 

Eg. Modules: CrossSelling, Block advertising etc

Hook into: Homepage Content known as display home.

 

I keep getting "This module cannot be transplanted to this hook."

 

Please help!

Hi innocuous,

 

I will explain using croselling module. You need to make sure that inside modules/crossselling/crossselling.php you have the appropriate hook function placed. In this case the function will be called hookDisplayHome. You can then copy the code that goes inside that function from another hook like hookProductFooter, but I think that crossselling has to be related with another product that's why by default it's only assigned to shopping cart and product footer hooks.

Ok. But can't this be done using theme directory only OR Backoffice featuers?

 

I don't want to mod modules folder as it might break when upgrading PS in future!

 

I am not even able to add "new products module" to homepage. That should not be a problem!

I think that's the only way to transplant a module to a hook that's not included by default in that module. You can add products to the homepage using Homepage featured products. Just assign them to Home category in backoffice.

Featured products are displayed on home page.

I want to add "Top sellers" and advertising blocks to the Homepage as well.

then I think the only way is to do it as I described above

OK. I will try it.

Thanks
