I'm usinh a Prestashop 1.5.4.1, and I would like to call a module in other module (precisely I need to use slider module just above the home featured products). I tried to call it via

include file='../directory/module.tpl'

but always I get only blank page without any code. I also tried with different ways of directory statement, but always the result was the same. Is there any possibility to include new module in correct way?

For this to work, your directory structure should be (Using PrestaShop 1.6):

-- mymodule.php
-- views
---- templates
------ hook
------ displayFooBarTemplate.tpl
-------- inc
---------- foo.tpl
---------- bar.tpl

Absolute way:

From your main module file:

protected function displayFooBarTemplate()
{
    global $smarty;

    ...

    $smarty->assign('module_templates', dirname(__FILE__).'/views/templates/');

    return $this->display(__FILE__, 'displayFooBarTemplate.tpl');
}

then in your tpl file (displayFooBarTemplate.tpl):

{include file="{$module_templates}hook/inc/modal/foo.tpl"}

{include file="{$module_templates}hook/inc/modal/bar.tpl"}

Relative way (my favorite):

{include './inc/foo.tpl'}

{include './inc/modal/bar.tpl'}

What worked for me in Prestashop 1.6 is

{include file="$tpl_dir/modules/blocknewsletter/blocknewsletter.tpl"}

I put this in the footer.tpl file and correctly displayed the text box for subscribing to the newsletter. I suppose it works for all other modules, too.

Proper way to include a smarty tag includes using the curl brackets. 

{include file='directory/module.tpl'}

Note that the directory in the include statement should be relative to the templates directory.

In your php code declare a variable like this : 

$this->path_to_tpl_folder = str_replace('\\', '/', _PS_MODULE_DIR_) . 'mon_module/tpl';
$this->context->smarty->assign('tpl_path', $this->path_to_tpl_folder)

Then in your smarty template :

{include file=$tpl_path/my_file.tpl}

Compatible with Prestashop 1.4 and 1.5.
