[SOLVED] How to have 2 of the same module??

[starxox]

Hi all, thanks to all that read this and help out, and thanks to those who make prestashop!

I'm starting a new shop and for my purposes I really need to be able to have different lists of pages, in different blocks, on my menu. In other words I want more than one (maybe two or three) of the 'link block' - is this possible?

Thanks

Basically, you just need to copy the blocklink module and rename every instance of "blocklink" to "blocklink2". For example, copy the blocklink module directory to blocklink2, then rename blocklink.php to blocklink2.php, then edit blocklink2.php and change the class name from BlockLink to BlockLink2 and $this->name('blocklink'); to $this->name('blocklink2');, and the database table from 'blocklink' to 'blocklink2' and the variable like 'PS_BLOCKLINK_TITLE' to 'PS_BLOCKLINK2_TITLE'. If you change everything correctly, you should be have the module appear twice on your Modules tab and you should be able to configure them with different links.

Great, I'll give that a try. Thanks so much for taking the time to reply! )

Hi rocky,
Should the $blocklist vars from blocklist2.tpl be changed also, because I've i have installed blocklink 2, changed the title succesfully but the links created in it do not display ?

Never mind, of course I had to change it also. All ok now.
