[SOLVED] How to Create a New Module Block?

[jAllen]

Hey there!

my site is www.wootcartoons.com/prestashop

I was wondering if there is anyway to create a new module block? If so, how might I go about doing this?

Aside from that question, is there any documentation on edits other than the forum that I might be missing?

THANKS in advance!!

If you are not a programmer you can always duplicate a current module, a more basic module that shows text or a support link or something, and then you can display your custom content in there, otherwise, take a look at the php file in each module, they create a new hook and link it to other hooks (top, home, footer, left, right etc.). I myself am not so good at it, but hey, I try:)

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! I wouldn't call myself an experienced programmer by any means, but I do know code and can get my way around for the most part. Sometimes I just need some direction...

I ended up taking my whole prestashop installation down and restarting with a fresh copy. I had a few other questions out on the boards and one ended up in "your site is really messed up (though I'm not sure how exactly) and you should start with a fresh copy. You have an old version of prestashop." soooo... i'm rebuilding now.

Thanks again!!

Indeed, I also have a few problems, which I can't seem to solve, and apparently no one is experienced enough to answer ), or the right people aren't looking.

I've been spending the better part of the week to find out how can I call a custom cms id to show up in a custom created tpl file. And yes, how to extract the main category name when I am on the ipod nano product, which resides in ipods category.

Further basic module, which displays the text or the support link or something, and then you can watch your own content there, look Com Each module in the PHP file, create a new hook, and its integration with other hooks.
