Configure Page Content

[jmawebtech]

Hi,

 

I am creating my first PrestaShop module. I am a C# programmer with a limited understanding of PHP. When my module is installed and the user clicks configure, I want to add some content. Here is an example layout:

 

Content:

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the ...

 

Settings:

 

Name

Textbox

 

I believe I know how to add settings, but how do I adjust the layout of the configure page?

Maybe for example look in modules/blockcms/blockcms.php

 

In function

  protected function displayForm()

 

First of all they have all kind of examples what/how you can display input fields like textarea, radioboxes etc.

 

In there you will also find a line like this:

 

    'class' => 'pull-right big-font', 

 

Which will add  the code

    class="pull-right big-font"

to the element 

 

 

Then in css (for example in the themes/<your theme folder>/css/global.css file) you can decorate whatever you need using the class as reference to the element.

 

like

 

.pull-right {

  float:right;

  margin-right: 10px;

}

 

.big-font {

    font-size: 20px;

}

 

 

or so

 

 

Hope this helps,

pascal

Hi,

 

Thanks for the code.

 

Is there a way to add HTML to the configure page?

More info on the helper pages/classes here:

 

http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS16/Using+the+Helper+classes

 

Not sure if it by default can handle HTML text to display, but have a look.

 

My 2 cents,
