[1.5.x] overriding backoffice template and purpose of "/override/controllers/admin/templates"

[Lotti]

hello there! i'm doing minor tweak and integration to prestashop using overriding method.

 

First: what is the purpose of "/override/controllers/admin/templates" directory?

 

Then, I have to add some html to back office template (this is the file /admin/themes/default/template/controllers/products/prices.tpl). Is there a way to override just the prices.tpl? maybe using the path in the title? and how?

 

Another option will be make a copy of default backoffice template and do the modification there. but this requires to copy the entire file set (losing what is really modified and what no (well i have versioning but it's not so fast as "look at files")) and to change template value on all and every new employee accounts.

 

Suggestions? Thanks!

actually i found something on dev docs:

 

http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS15/Using+helpers+to+overload+a+back-office+template

[Lotti]

well i haven't figured out how to override that specific file. i think it's possibile to override just the helpers :\

 

if some accomplished extend / overwrite a not helper tpl (like /admin/themes/default/template/controllers/products/prices.tpl) please tell me how thank you.

Hi Lotti,

I have followed http://doc.prestasho...office+template and I have overrided /admin/themes/default/templates/controllers/products/informations.tpl

As you say I have copied the core file to /override/controllers/admin/templates/products/informations.tpl then I have edited the file in the override folder and it works but I have lost all the translations for the strings.

you're right! thank you to let me try again!

Did you manage to retain translations after overriding?
