Hooks and Smarty

[Mitchell]

Hi,

1- When adding a block or new page do I have to add a "hook_html_....." some where in the SMARTY file as well so I do not get the following error message?

Warning: Smarty error: [in cp/sidebar1.html line 23]: syntax error: custom function 'block_suppliers_section' is not implemented (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 794) in /home/wedonly/public_html/lib/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1088

What is this error any way?

2- How can I use the Hooktester Plugin?

Many thanks in advance
Mitchell

I'll let Dody answer these questions.

As far as I understand if it is not a new hook then nothing should need to be added. If it is a new hook then I'm sure you need to specify it somewhere, otherwise hwo is the script supposed to konwwhatthe new hook is for?

that error is because you made a block call to a block that you havent created (not uploaded the php file for) or, have uploaded the php file but didnt change the function name.

It has nothing to do with hooks, you hae no reason to add or move the hooks - they are just around so those making plugins can choose where something is executed or displayed - most of them arent even used.

Thank you, great help. It was the function in the PHP file I forgot to change
function block_information($params)
