Display module output anywhere
Posted by admin | Filed under Development Resources, Tips and Tricks
I came across a post on the Prestshop forum recently that was discussing how to display the contents of a single module on a page. The example proposed worked, but it seems to me that it worked only through sheer luck rather than design as all that was being done was to display a smarty .tpl file. The smarty variables required for the module used in the example were all included as global values, so it worked, but most other modules would need to be able to execute their underlying hook code in order to display anything meaningful.

Customising Prestashop Module Templates
Posted by admin | Filed under Tips and Tricks
Please don’t edit those originals!
I came across this little gem a while ago on the Prestashop forum, and thought I would draw attention to it in the hopes that it will help someone, somewhere.

General news update
Posted by admin | Filed under Site News
I’ve been rather busy lately on other projects so updates on this site have sadly been few and far between. With the release of PrestaShop 1.2 coming up though there has been some work done, and yet more in progress to update the modules on this site to this new version. The Google Base module has been updated slightly, and there are many more fixes and feature updates to go. If you wish to test the pre-release versions then you can do so by joining in the discussion in the Google Base forum thread on the PrestaShop site.
There will also be an update to the v2 Paypal Module and Addstuff modules in the coming weeks, and this site will be undergoing some maintenance so we can look to add some great new features in the future….

JonDesign’s SmoothGallery2.0 for Prestashop Featured Products
Posted by admin | Filed under Free Prestashop Modules, Prestashop
In one of the review threads on the PrestaShop forum there was a particular gallery feature that caught the eye, and I decided to adapt it slightly for more general use.
It’s basically just the Featured Products module adapted to use the javascript gallery rather than the standard tabular layout, and it certainly looks more effective.

Shopmania Feed – UK
Posted by admin | Filed under Free Prestashop Modules, Prestashop
** There is now an official script for PrestaShop available and this module is no longer supported. **
It’s been a busy few weeks, and we’ve been caught up in the Christmas rush as many of you out there hopefully are too. It’s a busy time for stores – the busiest of the year – and hopefully the gloom and doom regarding ‘Credit Crunches’ and ‘Bank Bail-outs’ hasn’t affected you too much.
One of our regulars on the UK PrestaClub Forum suggested that a feed for Shopmania would be nice, so we threw this together. Sadly it is currently written to provide a feed for the UK service, although we plan to add some configuration in the next release to allow you to choose which country you would like to create the feed for. The more technical of you out there will have no trouble altering the module as it stands to produce a feed for your own country should you want to.

Random Advert Module for PrestaShop Updated (v1.1)
Posted by admin | Filed under Site News
Thanks to a user report (thank you Bach!) a bug was identified in our Adverts module that prevented it working in the left column. We’ve issued an update that should sort out the error.
An updated version of the PrestaShop Random adverts and Callouts module is now available.

PrestaShop Demo Store
Posted by admin | Filed under Prestashop
For folks that haven’t already found this, we have a Demo PrestaShop store online now that features the various modules we have already released along with those that we are currently developing and testing. If the site doesn’t work when you visit, don’t worry – it’s probably just us working away on it, and a return visit later should yield better results.
