[SOLVED] Add new module position

[avaness]

Hi
I would like to add another position for modules at the homepage.

Therefore i created my own hook and wrote a little module that can be attached to this hook.

What I do not understand is, how the hook wil be triggered in the frontend module. In the indexcontroller.php I see each hook for the index.tpl manually assigned. Would this mean that I have to add my hook there (which would mean that I loose update compatibility)? 
I guess I have missed somthing, could you please advice me how to proceed with my new hook?

Thanks and kid regards

André

you can execute hooks in tpl file with command:

 

{hook::exec('HookName')}

 

you don't have to alter controllers
