Free third party module files used


The following are the list of the free module files used to enhance your theme. These are free and have been tested on PrestaShop 1.3.1:

  • YouTube module

  • jcarousels

  • Gallery view

  • Moving Boxes

  • Horizontal top menu

  • Category block on top menu

  • Blockfooterdata

  • Page Peels

These modules can be put into /themes/modules directory or the main modules directory that is /modules/.

For any modules to work within the /themes/modules/ directory it has to have the following code within the module's PHP file:

$this->display(__FILE__, 'modulename.tpl'); 

For example, in the blockadvertising module folder, we have blockadvertising.tpl and blockadvertising.php.

In the blockadvertising.php there is a line as follows:

$this->display(__FILE__, 'blockadvertising.tpl');

You will need to work on the PHP file of each module if you want it to use the same system.

Otherwise you will have to upload the modules within the default modules folder.

This is useful to know as some third party modules...
