Creating a module

[McRae]

Hi, I'm very new to Prestashop and i have issues trying to create my first module.

Aim of the module :

I want to create a page in my theme which lists each link of CMS pages related to a custom CMS category

 

I created a "AKblog" module in the root's modules/ folder, created a AKblog.php file to construct my module, and used this code to register a new hook that i'll call from my .tpl files when needed : 

<?php

if (!defined('_PS_VERSION_')){exit;}

 

class AKblog extends Module{

public function __construct(){

    $this->name = 'AKblog';

    $this->tab = 'front_office_features';

    $this->version = '1.0.0';

    $this->author = 'xxx';

   $this->need_instance = 0;

    $this->ps_versions_compliancy = array('min' => '1.7', 'max' => _PS_VERSION_);

   $this->bootstrap = true;

 

    parent::__construct();

 

    $this->displayName = $this->l('AK - Blog');

    $this->description = $this->l('xxx');

 

    $this->confirmUninstall = $this->l('xxx');

 

    if (!Configuration::get('xxx')){$this->warning = $this->l('xxx');}

}

public function install(){

if (!parent::install())

    return false;

return true;

if (Shop::isFeatureActive())

    Shop::setContext(Shop::CONTEXT_ALL);

return parent::install() && $this->registerHook('akbloghook');

}

public function uninstall(){

 if (!parent::uninstall())

    return false;

 return true;

}

public function hookAkbloghook($params){

  return $this->display(__FILE__, 'AKblog.tpl');

}

 

}

 

?>

My AKblog.tpl is located in ./modules/AKblog/views/templates/hook/ (and also in ./modules/AKblog/views/templates/front/ to test) and contains basic html code to test the module.

I call the hook in one of my tpl file like this

{hook h='akbloghook'}

Nothing from my AKblog.tpl content is displayed...

Can someone help me understand what i'm doing wrong ? (of course i installed the module via the backoffice)
