Disable prestashop news ans links and replace it with custom

To disable the default PrestaShop news and links module and replace it with a custom solution, you'll need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Disable the default module

  1. Log in to your PrestaShop admin dashboard.
  2. Go to the "Modules" tab.
  3. Click on the "Modules" sub-tab.
  4. Find the "News and Links" module (it's usually located under the "Information" category).
  5. Click on the "Disable" button next to the module.

Step 2: Create a custom module

  1. Create a new folder in the modules directory of your PrestaShop installation (e.g., customnews).
  2. Inside the customnews folder, create a new file called customnews.php.
  3. In this file, add the following code:
    
<?php

class CustomNews extends Module { public function __construct() { $this->name = 'customnews'; $this->tab = 'front_office_features'; $this->version = '1.0'; }

public function install()
{
    return true;
}

public function uninstall()
{
    return true;
}

public function getContent()
{
    // Your custom content goes here
    return '<h1>Custom News</h1>';
}

}


This code defines a custom module called `CustomNews` that extends the `Module` class. The `getContent()` method is where you'll add your custom content.

**Step 3: Add the custom module to the PrestaShop dashboard**

1. Go back to the PrestaShop admin dashboard.
2. Click on the "Modules" tab.
3. Click on the "Add a module" button.
4. Select the `customnews` folder you created earlier.
5. Click "Install" to install the module.

**Step 4: Configure the custom module**

1. Go to the "Modules" tab.
2. Find the `CustomNews` module and click on the "Configure" button.
3. In the configuration page, you can add your custom content to the `getContent()` method.

**Step 5: Remove the default module**

1. Go back to the "Modules" tab.
2. Find the "News and Links" module and click on the "Disable" button.
3. Confirm that you want to disable the module.

That's it! Your custom module should now be displayed instead of the default PrestaShop news and links module.
