[SOLVED]how to custom blockuserinfo

[kalmen]

Hi ,

i am trying the custom hook , i follow these steps , my objective is i am trying to display PART OF "top"
hook. I do not want the DEFAULT currencies , the language , the search ... and most important i want to try the "custom hook"

so I ...

1. add a record in database table ps_hook , ('userInfo' , 'kalmen user information block' , description =' ' , position= 0 )

2. i added 'HOOK_USERBLOCK'=> Module::hookExec('userInfo') to my smarty array in index.php

3. i added OR !$this->registerHook('userInfo') to module ,in blockuserinfo.php

and the function function hookUserInfo($params)

4. and then i goto my index.tpl and added {$HOOK_USERBLOCK}

expecting the whole blockuserinfo.tpl will display into the index.tpl BUT NO LUCK !

I have tried to take special care on the code convention , such as case sensitive , but i am NOT very sure
whether i have done it correctly.

Can anyone share with me what am i missing ?

By the way do i required to add another records to ps_hook_module ?


best regards,
kalmen

Hi all ,


I have tested and finally got this to work, the missing step was to go to

Backoffice and use the transplant module and set the relationship of hook and module.

Hope that will help someone.
