You cannot include a module template like this because the PHP code for the te module is not called, and the template needs to set some Smarty variables.

The best you can do is connect the block search module to your header. Here we go:

  • Go to "admin> modules> position"
  • Click the Transplant Module button
  • Select “Quick Search Box” for “Module”
  • Select "Page Title / displayHeader" for "Paste in"
  • Click "Save."

The Quick Search Module is now connected to your title.

This is a great and easy way to call modules directly in template files without using hooks. I tested it in both Prestashop 1.4 and 1.5, and it works.

For Prestashop 1.5, you will need to create 2 additional files in the "override" folder, as described in the link above:

  • Plugin.php in / override / classes /
  • FrontController.php in / override / classes / controller /

Then you can use the following code in the template files:

 {plugin module='editorial' hook='displayHome'}

You need to use the hook name (displayHome) and NOT an alias (home).
