Demo of "How to handle deprecated methods between versions"

About

This module demonstrates how you can handle deprecated code between a few versions of the PrestaShop software.

If you need to support multiple versions of the PrestaShop in the single package of your module, this example is for you.

Usecase

This module will print on screen (using displayHome hook) a price using 2 different currencies. The service responsible for currency format has changed between PS 1.7 and PS 8.0. This module demonstrates how to deal with this technical challenge to achieve a module that you can run from PS 1.6 to PS 8.0

Supported PrestaShop versions

This module has been tested with PrestaShop 1.6.1.0 and above versions.
