We continue pleasing our readers with new free modules. Following Background Switcher Free and Promotional Banner Free which have become super popular modules we are glad to introduce already a new one – Prestashop Category Info. The module has been developed as a consequence of certain requirements to one of our projects.
On the above picture you can see a block in the left-hand column, which contains the name of a category, the number of items in the current category and their price range.
Used hooks:
- displayHeader
- leftColumn
- rightColumn
- displayBackOfficeHome
The module’s configuration includes only selection of the column in which the block will be displayed.
The code of the module includes the following features:
- __construct()
- install()
- installConfiguration () //the function for setting configuration default values
- getTemplate($area, $file) //this is the way we use to set path to a tpl file
- getConfig($name) //a wrap for Configuration::get()
- setConfig($name, $value) //a wrap for Configuration:: updateValue ()
- getContent()
- initForm()
- initToolbar()
- postProcess()
- hookLeftColumn()
- hookRightColumn()
- displayCategoryInfo(&$return_html) //this functions converts the code of the module into html
- getModuleInfo($categoryObj) //this function calculates data for the module
- hookBackOfficeHome($params = array())
Used css files: modules/belvg_categoryinfo/css /belvg_categoryinfo.css
Used templates:
- modules/belvg_categoryinfo/views/templates/admin/admin.tpl
- modules/belvg_categoryinfo/views/templates/admin/iframe.tpl
