I'm failing to understand PS admin module controllers...

[[email protected]]

I'm trying to create a Prestashop 1.5 module, which so far i can install, and it creates a root tab on the admin menu bar.

 

I'm a bit new to the controller convention, and just trying to create a controller for one of the menu items below my root menu, which is called Reporting

 

My controller is located at the following path:

 

modules/printspec/controllers/admin/reporting.php

 

and inside I have the following code:

 

 

<?php

class PrintspecReportingModuleAdminController extends ModuleAdminController
{
public function initContent()
{
	parent::initContent();
	$this->setTemplate('report.tpl');
}
}

 

and I'm trying to access it with the following URL:

 

http : //mydomain.com/admin12345/index.php?controller=PrintspecReporting&token=...

 

What am I misunderstanding and getting wrong here? PrestaShop says:

 

The controller PrintspecReporting is missing or invalid.

I think this link is going to answer my question:

 

http://www.programmingtunes.com/prestashop-1-5-features-for-developers-part-1-modules/

Did some changes, but my controller still hasn't been found.

 

Following the link above, I changed my controller filename to AdminReporting.php, which contains:

 

 

<?php

class AdminReportingController extends ModuleAdminController
{
   /**
    * Constructor
    */
   public function __construct()
   {
       parent::__construct();
   }

   /**
    * initContent
    */
   public function initContent()
   {
       parent::initContent();
       $this->setTemplate('report.tpl');
   }
}

 

I'm trying to access it with the following URL:

 

http : //mydomain.dev/admin12345/index.php?controller=AdminReporting&token=...

 

Any idea why it's been reported as not found or invalid?

My issue was to do with the ps_tab table. I set the class name for my menu item to AdminReportingController, when it should have been AdminReporting.

 

So my issue has been fixed now, with the help of the above link of course.

Hey 

How do you fixed it , My code is as follows :
 

<?php

class AdminTokenController extends ModuleAdminController {

    public function initContent() {

 

echo 'hi';

die;

        parent::initContent();

        

        // get a value from the GET request

        $code = strval(Tools::getValue('myvalue'));

        

        // try to add it to the configuratoion:

        if ($code && Configuration::updateValue('IS_VALUE', $code)) {

            echo "Thanks";

        } else {

            echo "Error.";

        }

    }

}

and I am accessing it with : http://localhost/Briopresta/admin576bnngtd/index.php?controller=AdminToken&token=something

Hi. Did you find solution. I have "Class not found problem"

Hi,

 

   I too have the same issue. I tried adding menu from back office. Then if I have selected the home as parent its again giving me the error "class not found". After adding menu as sub menu of any other tab the error is not there but shows a white screen nothing else. Please explain if you have got a solution.

Hi,

 

    My issue of displaying white page is solved. It was due to the error in loading tpl file. Errors will be hidden if its not in development mode. You can enable it in define.inc.php file in config folder.

 

if (!defined('_PS_MODE_DEV_')) {
define('_PS_MODE_DEV_', true);
}

 

It will be false by default. I got the error after enabling it.
