Adding Tabs to Home Page

[Programmers Direct]

I have made my own tab and most of it works but I cannot find where to add the jquery link as every time I click it it does not switch to page. So on behalf of all us users can someone please give a tutorial on this as it seems there is little on the home page tab addition.

 

I hope someone can either message me with the information so I can make the tutorial, or make one themselves as this would help many of us to generate more sales and the ability to buy or pay for other modules and themes.

 

 

 

Thanks,

 

William

I hope someone could help with this as I am sure many people need it and it would generate great traffic as there is little to no information on it on the internet.

you use old 1.5 theme

homepage tabs will not work in this template - it isn't support displayHomeTab and dispalyHomeTabContent hooks.

[Programmers Direct]

I use 1.5 theme on my live website, although I use 1.6 of the same that is upgraded to 1.6, all of which has upgraded flawlessly I might add for my testing site which is on the same server and based off of the default bootstrap theme.

 

I have everything working except when I click the tab the content does not show.

any chance to see it live somewhere?

im asking because it sounds like some kind of js / css problem

so it's necessary to inspect website with browser dev tools

[Programmers Direct]

yes it is open for viewing at www.testing.shopsavenearn.com

Okay I did get it working. now I need to get the page to show it, but in doing so I had to scrap what I had.

[vekia]

I'm late

website is under maintenance mode again

but it's not necessary now - the most important thing that it works for you now.

[Programmers Direct]

Yes thank you for your help.

 

 

By chance, can I call a front controller class from the module as I cannot populate smarty using the same Product::PricesDrop statement used in the controller as it errors. I did create a new controler but not sure how to call it to populate the smarty.

Why cant I put this

  $this->productSort();
        $nbProducts = Product::getPricesDrop($this->context->language->id, null, null, true);
        $this->pagination($nbProducts);
        $products = Product::getPricesDrop($this->context->language->id, (int)$this->p - 1, (int)$this->n, false, $this->orderBy, $this->orderWay);
        $this->addColorsToProductList($products); 

in my module page as the;

$this->productSort();
 $this->pagination($nbProducts);
$this->addColorsToProductList($products); 

and the bolded parts also error

 

 

$this->p - 1, (int)$this->n, false, $this->orderBy, $this->orderWay)

 

 

However, I must have the information the PricesDrop controller generates to run the prices drop products

[Programmers Direct]

I will mark this solved as I have now got it to work with

            $nbProducts = Product::getPricesDrop($this->context->language->id, null, null, true);

            $products = Product::getPricesDrop($this->context->language->id, (int) 1,(int) 12, false);
           

with 12 being the amount of product shown

[Programmers Direct]

okay while testing and viewing everything it seems that the actual page for specials is no longer working. So my question is, "

 

How come Product::getPricesDrop works but when adding my own controller the Product::getSpecialsTabContent will not?

 

Also why does

$specials = Product::getPricesDrop($this->context->language->id, (int) 1,(int) 12, false);

make the Specials page not work?

[Programmers Direct]

Okay you great people I need a code

 

that selects the specials from the database without using the one below

            $products = Product::getPricesDrop($this->context->language->id, (int) 1,(int) 12, false);

Any help would be very appreciated,

My content tabs are showing on the homepage, but the content is not changing when the tab is clicked.
Prestashop version 1.6. Website is http://www.sunset27.co.nz
Is this a bug?

[Programmers Direct]

Check to make sure the template and the module names are correct and if there has been no edits done uninstall and reinstall the featured products module. However, this could be also because of the theme which also must match the modules tab setup too.

[brim]

Somehow I fixed my tabs not working by ensuring the module hooks were in displayHomeContentTabs, then in BO Preferences > Themes > Clicked EDIT on my theme, made a change (any change) then saved.
Seems to have needed some SAVE code that the themes page offers. Dont know, but its now working.

Homepage tabs are not working again. I have found out that when I turn Off Smarty Cache, then the tabs start working. Is this the solution - or is something wrong here?

[brim]

OK, I have now disabled the Layered Navigation Block.
Pagination and manufacturers block now works all ok.
