Adding Homeslider to top of CMS pages

[gg54]

Hello,

 

i'm trying to include the Homeslider (included in the prestahop base packaging) onto the cmd pages i created.

1. In the install function of the homeslider.php module i registered my new hook :
   

   ​$this->registerHook('CMSslide') 

2. then i added my public function:
   

   public function hookCMSslide($params)
   {
    return $this->hookdisplayTopColumn($params);
   }

3. Then added in my cms.tpl {hook h='CMSslide'} to display the slider

So, i think i'm doing the things quite right, but i'm also missing something, but what?

The main issue is my hook is displayed in the cms pages (if i return 'hello word' for example) but my slider is empty...

Should anybody know why?

 

Thanks a lot

you transplanted this module to your new hook?

go to modules > positions  and verify it,

if module is not associated with your new hook - transplant it there

Yes, in modules > positions my new hook is present.

But the main issue is not the hook in fact, in home slider.tpl, there is this line:  {if isset($homeslider_slides)}

And that's why nothing is displayed, because the var $homeslider_slides is empty on the cms pages, but why??

The answer, in French:

Comment following lines in homslider.php

if (!isset($this->context->controller->php_self) || $this->context->controller->php_self != 'index')

return;

 

and in homeslider.tpl

{if $page_name =='index'}

 

 

I should have seeked a bit more the answer was just there!

Thanks Vekia
