How override AdminHomeController.php and add custom quick links ?

 

 

I put this in override\controllers\admin\AdminHomeController.php but doesn't work

class AdminHomeController extends AdminHomeControllerCore
{
public function getQuickLinks()
{

//rest code

From just that snippet, you may want to maintain the protected status of the original method until you know what's invoking it. Also, start by invoking the parent::getQuickLinks() then add your links to the $quick_links array that it returns.

 

This is from v1.5.2:

protected function getQuickLinks()
{
$quick_links = array();
[...]

 

If you override, then invoke the parent the first line there will blitz all your work...

 

Posting your entire getQuickLinks() method may help in helping you.

My code: override\controllers\admin\AdminHomeController.php but doesn't work.

 

class AdminHomeController extends AdminHomeControllerCore
{
protected function getQuickLinks()
{
 $quick_links = array();

 $profile_access = Profile::getProfileAccesses($this->context->employee->id_profile);
 if ($profile_access[(int)Tab::getIdFromClassName('AdminStats')]['view'])
  $quick_links['first'] = array(
   'href' => $this->context->link->getAdminLink('AdminStats').'&module=statsbestproducts',
   'title' => $this->l('Recently sold products.'),
   'description' => $this->l('11Create a new category and organize your catalog.'),
  );
 return $quick_links;
}
}

Well, I installed your code as is on my shop and it works as expected - the single quick link shows up. If you want to edit the drop down menu, check the thread from late last year:

 

Quick Links in Prestashop back office

 

There's directions to do that as well.

 

HTH,

Today, for me it works

Sounds like it was cached.

 

If you're going to be doing any development, make sure to turn off all caching:
