hello 

 

I want to override prestashop's existing module's main php file i.e "homefeatured/homefeatured.php"

because I want to pass smarty variable in the exist module's function such as when hook call like as follows i have edited homefeatured.php file to pass variable 

 

public function hookDisplayHome($params)

{

if (!$this->isCached('homefeatured.tpl', $this->getCacheId()))

{

if (Module::isInstalled('mymodule') && Module::isEnabled('mymodule'))

{

$this->smarty->assign(array(

'module_var_1' => Module::isEnabled('mymodule'),

'module_var_2' => Module::isEnabled('mymodule'),

'module_var_3' => Module::isEnabled('mymodule')

));

}

$this->_cacheProducts();

$this->smarty->assign(

array(

'products' => HomeFeatured::$cache_products,

'add_prod_display' => Configuration::get('PS_ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY_DISPLAY'),

'homeSize' => Image::getSize(ImageType::getFormatedName('home')),

Thanks for the replay . So is there any another way to do this ...? because what I want to do actually is I want to replace "Add to cart" button (everywhere in store) with "get a quote " or any text for that in my module I successfully replace in product page of the store but in prestashop 1.6 there is two another module @ homepage which also have "Add to cart" button . but Im not replace that without editing main.php file of these module please help me...

[sorry for my english]

"add to cart" most likely appears in the modules .tpl files and not their main php files.  you can override a modules .tpl file by making a copy of the file in your themes directory and editting it there.

 

for example, if the module is called "blockhome" and it has a template file called "blockhome.tpl", then make a copy of "blockhome.tpl" and place it in "/themes/<theme_name>/modules/blockhome/blockhome.tpl" and you can edit this file.

 

If "add to cart" does appear in the modules php file, then you have no choice but the edit the php file.

I know that way overriding modules .tpl file but problem still exist like I want to pass smary variables such as module is enable / disable , text that come from admin side that replace "Add to Cart", etc, so many things I have to pass in their tpl file
