Not able to transplant top sellers and new products to displayHome

[FluffyCat]

Hi

 

I am testing the 1.6 release. I have done the update from 1.5.4.1

 

Initially I wanted to remove the tabs on the main page so I unhooked topsellers, featured and new from the tabs and tried to transplant them to displayHome instead. I only succeeded with featuredProducts. The other two give me an error that they can not be transplanted to displayHome.

 

Any ideas on why?

these modules just don't support this hook.

it's necessary to modify these modules, add there function to support this hook:

public function hookdisplayHome($params){
return $this->hookdisplayHomeTabContent($params);
}

So, out of curiosity. Why have Prestashop choosen the tab approach for 1.6. Is it for performance or something else? It just seems a bit rough to rule out the classic flow layout like that for these very common modules?

 

Is there a reason to switch to tabs that I am not seeing?

I think it's just a trend
