How to override AdminOrdersController.php

[nik]

Hi! I would like to override /controllers/admin/AdminOrdersController.php, in order to change some minor functionality only in the postProcess() class, but I am not sure how to do it correctly.

What I would do is just placing a new AdminOrdersController.php file under the same /override path with following content: 

class AdminOrdersController extends AdminOrdersControllerCore
{
	public function postProcess()
    {
		//copy all the code of the function, including my adjustment
	}
}

 

Now, why am I having concerns:

1) on the top of the original controller following code exists and I am not sure about how to deal with it in my overriden controller

class BoOrder extends PaymentModule
{
    public $active = 1;
    public $name = 'bo_order';

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->displayName = $this->trans('Back office order', array(), 'Admin.Orderscustomers.Feature');
    }
}

use PrestaShop\PrestaShop\Adapter\StockManager;

/**
 * @property Order $object
 */
class AdminOrdersControllerCore extends AdminController
{ .......

 

2)  To I have to deal with constructors as well? Or call any function from the parent controller? 

Thanks in advance,

Nikos

You do not need any other code, just what you wrote above, and the actual function you wish to change.

One thing to note, if the original function has the line parent::function();, you will need to keep it, but replace "parent" with the class that AdminOrdersControllerCore extends.

Actually, the above approach has worked for every class and controller I overrode, except one place: /classes/controller/AdminController.php

There I wanted to override the init() function in order to extend the cookie timeout.

class AdminController extends AdminControllerCore
{
    public function init()
    {
        Controller::init();
	// replaced original code: parent::init();
	...
	if ($this->context->cookie->last_activity + 10000 < time()) {
    	//if ($this->context->cookie->last_activity + 900 < time()) {
    	...                                                                                                                  ...    
	}
}

But it didn't work, prestashop backoffice won't load at all.

Did you try to enable debug mode, possibly you have a syntax error.

Class named AdminOrdersControllerCore for overriding.
