Display home core module on other page

[bbs]

Hello,

I would like to know how to display a core module on an other page.

I want to display the carousel, normally present on home page, in the category page instead replacing content of category.tpl.

I have already try, without success, addind a hook, but I'm unable to display anything...

Here are some link I have tried to follow without success:

belvg.com/blog/custom-hooks-in-prestashop-1-7.html

Anyone can help?

Thanks,

You need use hook of prestashop.

Example:

 hook displayAfterProductThumbs, on your module, you can use following:

public function hookDisplayAfterProductThumbs($params)
	{
		if (!$this->active) {
			return false;
		}
		// ... do something
        return $this->display(__FILE__, 'views/templates/front/custom-block.tpl');
	}

About custom hook, you need add it on template or controller of prestashop

Example: {h hook='your-custom-hook'} on template

Hope this help

Thank you,

My mistake was not understanding what the "hookDisplay..." must return.

It must at least return the HTML code you want to display.
