Hooks in PrestaShop 1.5

Hooks in PrestaShop 1.5 have a new naming scheme, with a situation-specific prefix:

  • action. These hooks are triggered by specific events that take place in PrestaShop.
  • display. These hooks result in something being displayed, either in the front-end or the back-end.

This way, you will know right away what type of hook you are dealing with. Older hooks have been renamed to match this scheme.

New & updated hooks

All hooks in PrestaShop have been updated for version 1.5, and several new ones were added.

The following "new hooks" and "updated hooks" lists were automatically generated by a script. Hook descriptions appear as they are in the PrestaShop database, and can sometimes be missing.
