What module creates after installation?

Module "Related products pro" during its installation process installs database and associates module with positions (hooks) in prestashop. Below you can find detailed information about installation procedure, what module does and what parts of installation are required.

Database installation

module creates new tables in shop's database (sql): 

• ppbp_block 
  This is cdkeys repository. All keys that you sell are stored in this table.
• ppbp_block_lang
  This is cdkeys groups repository. All keys can be grouped (for example you create group "Windows XP license" and uploads keys there.) Module allows to create unlimited number of groups and this means that you can sell unlimited number of "cdkeys" products.

These tables are required  . Without them - you will not have possibility to manage "lists of related products", create new instances of "related products" etc. Simply saying - module will not work at all.

Hook Associations

Depending on version of your prestashop module associates itself with positions listed below the picture. You can manage associations with positions in shop's back office under design > positions page (prestashop 1.7) or under modules > positions (in PrestaShop 1.6).

• PrestaShop 1.7
  • actionAdminControllerSetMedia
  • displayLeftColumnProduct
  • displayRightColumnProduct
  • displayShoppingCartFooter
  • displayProductExtraContent
  • displayHeader
  • displayFooterProduct
  • productTab
  • productTabContent
  • displayAdminProductsExtra
  • displayPpbModule
  • actionProductUpdate
    
• PrestaShop 1.6
  • ActionAdminControllerSetMedia
  • displayHeader
  • displayLeftColumn
  • displayRightColumn
  • productFooter
  • productTab
  • productTabContent
  • displayAdminProductsExtra
  • displayShoppingCart
  • displayPpbModule
  • actionProductUpdate

All of these positions are required. Our module to create "related products" on product pages will not work correctly if it will not be associated with all of them. The rest of hooks are requried for module appearance in your shop's front office and also its workflow in shop's back office.

Where to manage module in shop's back office? 

Module has own configuration page available on modules manager page (modules > modules). You can "configure" module main features there, the way of how it behave globally and control the most important settings from addon's workflow point of view

As you probably know each product can have own unique "related products pro". To manage lists of "related products" just go to product edit page and go to "modules" section. You can manage there list of "related products" - create new, edit existing etc. You can create there lists of "related products individually for each item or create "global" blocks that will appear on many product pages.
