First own module: hiding a checkbox in basket from certain products

English forums

Dear Oxid-community!

I am new in the oxid development-community and i am looking for tips and helpful input from other developers. I am a little bit inexperienced in programming and so i hope that somebody here can give a newbie like me some tips :-).

At the moment i am working on a module, that is hiding a checkbox in the shopping basket.

I am reading the very good article from Marco Steinhäuser ("How to write a module for OXID e-shop). But I feel a little bit stressed about the massive amount of information, that is used in it. Is there any more beginner-friendly tutorial to make a module in oxid? I am also looking for a tutorial how a Module generally work in Oxid.

Back to my module.

I started to make a metadata-file and an “out”-Folder with a css- and template-File. I don’t really know what i am doing. I am confused about the whole smarty part. What steps and skills do i need to write such a module?

Hi mcdutch,

I am reading the very good article from Marco Steinhäuser ("How to write a module for OXID e-shop).

Cheers! :slight_smile:

Here’s much more of that stuff:

Basically you can pull any method and overwrite it your way or with the functionality you want to achieve. But to be honest: I don’t think you’d really need a module for hiding a checkbox, this can simply be done in the smarty template itself. Which one you want to remove - maybe you can attach a screen shot?

Regards

Thanks for the link!

I think, that it was neccessary to write it in a module, because this was only a temporary solution.

I got the module with some help to run.

Great. Do you want to share your module?
