PrestaShop Column Block Module: Facebook Like BoxI’ve recently finished one of my projects and successfully published it on web. It’s based on an open source e-commerce solution PrestaShop.

Why did I choose PrestaShop?

Largely because of the simplicity and functionality. Store has a modern look and follows MVC architecture, which makes easy and rapid development. New themes and modules are added via administrator interface. You can find few templates and modules on the net for free, but for most of them you have to pay. PrestaShop is definitely a very big part of the future of e-commerce!

I wanted to add Facebook Like Box plug-in to be shown at e-shop, but there aren’t any free modules available1. If you don’t know how to code in PHP / HTML / Smarty the only option what is left is buyin the module on PrestaShop2. I didn’t want yo pay 40 EUR for a very simple module, so I’ve decided to write it myself. Module is written for the PrestaShop version 1.3.1

If you don’t have the latest version of PrestaShop open blockfblikebox.php file in directory modules/blockfblikebox and delete this two lines:

if (!defined('_CAN_LOAD_FILES_'))
    exit;

I’ve also made a video which demonstrates how to install Facebook Like Box plugin to your PrestaShop page.
