Trying to add a module to left column position

[thestratocaster]

Hello,

 

My apolgies, I am quite new to Presta Shop and have watched quite a few tutorials on how to alter my website, but cant figure out the following:

 

I need to replace the newsletter module with a block contact info. I have tried hooking the block contact info to the left column, but I get the following error (see attached screenshot).

 

 

I am basically trying to remove the newsletter module completely, but keep the site main column from sliding all the way to the right when I remove it. Hence putting something else in its place.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Kind Regards

 

Kim

in this case its necessary to modify the module source code.

open the:

blockcontactinfos.php and change the:

public function hookFooter($params)

to the

public function hookleftColumn($params)

Thanks - I did as you said but got the following error in the backend:

 

 

The following module(s) could not be loaded::

• blockcontactinfos (parse error in /modules/blockcontactinfos/blockcontactinfos.php)
  
• blockcontactinfos (class missing in /modules/blockcontactinfos/blockcontactinfos.php)

please paste the .php file contents (attach it as file here)

error code mean that you use wrong not working code.
