no Hook constant in custom module controller

[brainstormtrooper]

Hi,

I have developed a module with a custom front controller and I need it to activate hooks, but the function Hook::exec() is not available.

My front controller extends ModuleFrontController (if that helps...)

Can anyone point me in the right direction? 

Thanks in advance :-)

Thanks for your answer,

I want to access displayHeader (HOOK_HEAD)... I need the modules in other hooks to be able to add their js and css files...

Is that hook not available? I not, what do I need to use to access it? (and where can I find what hooks are available through which files?)

Thanks in advance,

Hello:

There is a function called setMedia in controllers to add the JS or CSS you want (if that is what you need).

You must implement the hookHeader function in your module main file and register that hook on installl function to be executed.

I really don't understand yet what you mean with: " function Hook::exec() is not available "

Thanks for your answers.

The problem is that Hook::exec('Header'), or Hook::exec('displayHeader') don't do anything in my custom front controller. I can't include other modules' CSS or JavaScript files.

And when I try to var_dump(Hook), I just get the string 'Hook' and when I try to see if the function exec() exists php says it doesn't.

I have two files where I can use Hook::exec(). One extends ModuleFrontController, and the other extends ProductPresentingFrontControllerCore, why can't I use the Hook constant?

As an example, the shopping cart doesn't work because it can't load its own JavaScript files...

Thanks in advance,
