This guide to Vacation Mode display locations<\/strong> covers top banners, popups, product pages, checkout hooks, and styling options in PrestaShop.<\/p>\n

The Vacation mode module displays holiday and vacation notices through PrestaShop theme hooks. This guide explains each display placement available in the module configuration, the styling options for each, and how to troubleshoot visibility issues.<\/p>\n

Note: This guide covers the eight storefront display placements. Order email notifications are configured on the same form but are documented in the Managing Vacation Profiles guide<\/a>. Disable-add-to-cart options are documented in Managing Vacation Profiles<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Vacation Mode display locations overview<\/h2>\n

Understanding Display Placements<\/h2>\n

This Vacation Mode display locations<\/strong> maps each checkbox in the module to a theme hook.<\/p>\n

In the module configuration, each vacation profile has a section titled Select the places where you would like to display the information:<\/strong>. Each checkbox corresponds to a display placement. When you enable a placement, a rich-text editor appears where you enter the message customers will see.<\/p>\n

Behind the scenes, each placement connects to one or more PrestaShop hooks – insertion points defined by your theme. The module registers on the primary hook for each placement and can optionally use an alternative hook if your theme does not support the default position. See the PrestaShop hooks documentation<\/a> for how hooks work in themes.<\/p>\n
