Pre-register employer module

[ESPON]

Hi!

What is the best method to expose a module or an AdminController, without need to be logged as an employee?

The goal is to make a pre-registration form for new employees in backoffice.
After that, the admin mush validate.

Thanks!

It's not a good idea to expose the admin UI to people you may not know their intentions.
If I were you I would make a registration form somewhere in the front.
The people that will submit the form will be disabled employees that you will have to manually approve or not.

Thanks!

But I think it will be as exposed as login form, I mean, with the same control as Presta expose AdminLoginController...
Once you let the user enter a value in a form or get it from the url you are exposed (in the frontend in the same way as in backoffice), so I still think it could be an option.

thoughts?

I can't understand what you want to express in the reply message.

when you say "...not a good idea to expose the admin UI..."
We are all already exposing the admin UI by default: in the login process (AdminLoginController) as Prestashop uses an admin controller to manage login.
So what is the problem having another controller to achieve pre-registration process?
Almost the same process than login:
1.- Form
2.- Data
3.- Process and save in db

Yeah but this is a path that you only know (and should reveal it only to people you trust).
You can make (a lot of) modifications and make UIs in the front office that - giving privileges to others - will enable them to work without knowing the admin path.

Eg. Blogging with front form where any member will be able to submit a post.

We miss the Helpers that we have in the backoffice.
