Presta - v1.7.1.2 : Module, display() retrun nothing...

[Webotool]

Hello,

 

I try to display with the call of the display() method in the getContent() method a .tpl file but the configuration page of the module remains white ...

 

The .tpl file is located in mymodcomments / views / templates / hook / getContent.tpl

 

Here is the code

class MyModComments extends Module
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->name = 'mymodcomments';
        $this->tab = 'front_office_features';
        $this->version = '0.1';
        $this->displayName = 'Module of product comments';
        $this->description = 'With this module, customers will be able to grade and comments products.';

        parent::__construct();

        $this->bootstrap = true;
    }

    public function processConfiguration()
    {
        if (Tools::isSubmit('mymod_pc_form'))
        {
            $enable_grades = Tools::getValue('enable_grades');
            $enable_comments = Tools::getValue('enable_comments');
            Configuration::updateValue('MYMOD_GRADES', $enable_grades);
            Configuration::updateValue('MYMOD_COMMENTS', $enable_comments);
        }
    }

    public function getContent()
    {
        return $this->display(__FILE__, 'getContent.tpl');
    }
}

Thanks for your help

Hi 

 

Welcome to the forum. That reminds me of code from Fabien Serny's book, but that is for 1.6 version. 

And 1.7 do bring some changes. Do check developer documentation 

http://developers.prestashop.com/

http://developers.prestashop.com/module/80-Updating/index.html

http://developers.prestashop.com/module/40-Widgets/widget.html?highlight=widget

 

But also for 1.7 do check PrestaShop native modules that starts with ps_

Hi

 

Yes I did buy his book last year

In the doc and the ps_ modules they use Helper classes.

 

Thanks

The problem is solved by itself ...

[razaro]

Could you explain a bit, nothing is solved by itself

 

Did you change any code, cleared cache ?

[Webotool]

Probably the cache, this morning after starting the computer the module was working.

I did not touch the code.
