Create display hook

[Vertricus]

I want to get access to smarty vars in blockcategories.tpl so i have to create hook, but dont know how. (var display in debug console)

 

 

I create override to CategoryController and use assing method:

class CategoryController extends CategoryControllerCore
{
   protected function fun()
   {
/*
* Some Code
*/
 $this->context->smarty->assign('mainCatName',$mainCatName);
 $this->context->smarty->assign('HOOK_LEFT_COLUMN', Module::hookExec('displayLeftColumn'));
   }
}

according to this: http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS15/Diving+into+PrestaShop+Core+development#DivingintoPrestaShopCoredevelopment-Usinghooks

 

it should work or i don't understand it correctly.

Hi,

 

I think it should works, do you have any troubles with this code?

Nope, but still dont have access to my vars.

Maybe blockcategories.tpl renders before fun() function? Or Module::hookExec('displayLeftColumn') didn't runs before it?

[Vertricus]

<?php
class CategoryController extends CategoryControllerCore
{
   protected function assignSubcategories()
   {
 $this->context->smarty->assign('mainCatName',"Test");
$this->context->smarty->assign('HOOK_LEFT_COLUMN', Module::hookExec('displayLeftColumn'));

 return parent::assignSubcategories();
   }
}
?>

This still doesn't work. i totally have no idea what i doing wrong ;/
