I'm using prestashop 1.7.2.0 to write an admin module that adds nested categories and products from a csv file. I understood that addJQuery() is deprecated and I'm trying to get jquery code to work. I get Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined.
I have created a displayBackOfficeHeader hook with the following:
public function hookDisplayBackOfficeHeader(){
$this->context->controller->addJS($this->_path.'/js/jqShim.min.js');
$this->context->controller->addCSS($this->_path.'/css/getcontent.css');
$this->context->controller->addJS($this->_path.'/js/getcontent.js');
}
as you can see I have tried including jqShim.min.js and I still got the same error. what am I missing?
Thanks
