Answer 1

当我更改页面的编码（在没有BOM的UTF-8中编码）时，这个问题就解决了。

Answer 2

do you create a config.xml file for that module ?? and one another thing ... there is not " Test " tab in prestashop . change that to a valid tab attribute . http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS15/Creating+a+PrestaShop+module this link can help you .

Answer 3

This error often appears when there is just a syntax error in your class file. Prestashop can not load the class file, and so, cannot load the module

You can try to launch a php -l mymodule.php in command line to detect possible syntax error in the php file

Answer 4

I would choose class name to be same as module name.

   class mymodule(){

not myModule

Also you've written

  if (!parent::uninstall())
        parent::uninstall();

in meaning if uninstall have errors you unninstall by force? I think, it's better to

   if(parent::uninstall())
          return false;
   return true;
