Add hook without resetting module

[treyj45]

Hi,

I have a blog module that is pretty big, and has a lot of data in it and also lots of settings.  I want to add a hook to display blog posts.

So I know it would work if I add this in install 

 

!$this->registerHook('displayBlogPost)

 

and then add

public function hookDisplayBlogPost($params) {

}

 

The problem is I dont want to reset this module.  I want all the settings and data to stay intact.  How can I accomplish this?  Thanks.

use "transplant" module tool and you will not have to reset / reinstall it http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS16/Front+office+Positions#FrontofficePositions-Attachingamoduletoahook:Transplanting

What if I am creating a new hook?

I ended up adding into db like

    INSERT INTO `ps_hook` (`name`, `title`, `description`, `position`, `live_edit`) VALUES ('myNewHook', 'myNewHook', '', '1', '1')

Then I went into positions and transplanted hook to module

I used to use something like this in the constructor:

if (!$this->isRegisteredInHook('someHook'))
          $this->registerHook('someHook');

This is the solution for your problem. If you dont want to go through the hassle of coding and changing and want to save time, take a look at Generate Hooks For PrestaShop module in Codecanyon. You can do it with this module in no time.
