Override renderView in AdminCustomersController

[waldocosman]

Hi,

 

I'm new to Prestashop, so that's why I'm asking this question:

 

I would like to change the renderView function of the AdminCustomersController. I saw that there is an override function possibility, but I don't get it working.

 

Is it possible to add the renderView function to the AdminCustomsersController (in the override folder), so it uses the regular view, but where you can add specific variables to the template?

 

i.e. (this doesn't work but maybe you get my point)

class AdminCustomersController extends AdminCustomersControllerCore
{
public function renderView()
{
parent::renderView();

$this->tpl_view_vars["var"] = "text or var";

return parent::renderView();

}
}

 

Thanks in advance

Hi,

 

why did you overrided AdminController instead of AdminCustomersController? Also i think that you will have to duplicate the code from AdminCustomersController::renderView() but instead

 

return parent::renderView()

 

will use

 

return AdminController::renderView()

I made a typo indeed, it had to be AdminCustomersController instead of AdminController (is changed meanwhile).

 

I also thought I had to duplicate the code, but forgot about to use the AdminController::renderView() instead of the parent.
