I am not an experienced developer but i was hoping there was an easy solution to this.
I am developing my own 'homefeatured' module and using the code as a base. My problem is that i need to see what is in the variable $products in homefeatured.tpl so i can use this data. However when i turn on smarty debug and i get the console/java page with all the variables displayed it only shows the variables of the homepage (probably just global) this i am guessing is because the homefeatured.tpl has already been parsed so no smarty variables for this module are therefore present when the console/debug page pops up.
Is there a way so i can see the variables from the module, not just the main page.
This is my Prestashsop forum thread dealing with this topic.
