Create New Menu similar to Order Menu in Back Office

[shahil512]

We need to create new menu similar to order menu in back office. Please explain in detail or with video how to do it.

 

We already created new menu, but after creating it - it says -

 

" The controller admin not found is missing or in valid "

[vekia]

you need to create:

 

1) module

or

2) admin controller

 

 

here is a thread about admin tabs: http://www.prestasho...-tabs-mvc-work/

and here is an example of working admin tabs module: https://github.com/P...ter/example.php

Thanks Vekia, i am not able to get View Folder in prestashop.

[vekia]

hello

what you mean by that? You arent able to log in to the ftp and to browse your prestashop directories?

[shahil512]

Hi, i am working in my local server and i downloaded all files from prestashop site. So i need to know where is view folder. When the module will work in local server, i will upload it to site.

[shahil512]

Can any one help me?

[vekia]

sorry but i still don't know what you expect.

what you mean by view folder? you're talking about template files of modules? or what?

[shahil512]

Thanks, you have provided me this links:

 

http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/157626-how-does-admin-tabs-mvc-work/

 

Now, where is view folder,

 

- Create views in /views/admin/<tabName>/, in module folder. The default view name is "content"

[vekia]

what ps version you use? everything depends on it, because views folder is related to the prestashop 1.5.x

[shahil512]

Hi, i am using latest version. I downloaded it from their site.

[vekia]

... now everyhing is clear for me. You have to create own module, with own files. you need to be familiar in php / smarty

all informations related to this case are in the urls that i pasted above

[shahil512]

Thanks, actually we build controller and it is showing blank page with message as :

 

" The controller admin not found is missing or in valid "

 

So do you mean we have to do remaining job. Our team knows php and smarty so it is not an issue.

[vekia]

let's start from the beginning

 

you created new position in the menu, right?

now you have to create controller for this.

 

you need to create controller file and move it to the controllers/admin directory.

make sure that controller name (also file) is exactly the same as you defined in the menu

Hi,

I'm experiencing the same issue. Could someone please explain?

 

Cheers

[vekia]

just follow the guides that i mentioned above....

you'e got there WORKING example of the admin tab.

[shahil512]

Thanks Vekia, we did everything as per the details you have provided. We almost completed 95% job. Now we have the following queries:

 

1) In list view - if we put custom button - and how to apply custom function to it?

 

We need to click on button and there we need to write function which will update database. After database is updated, it should be redirect to list view.

[vekia]

so, you've got now module / own controller

 

in this case, you can create button in your .tpl file

 

then in php files (for example in the init function) you can check if the button was send:

 

if (tools::getValue('yourbuttonname')){

YOUR_ACTION_HERE

}

[shahil512]

Thanks, we created admin menu from this link:

 

http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS14/Creating+a+PrestaShop+module

 

I need to do image for operation on click, how it is possible?

 

In our module, we don't have init method.

 

We also don't have .tpl files.

[vekia]

.... this is tut for 1.4

 

have you got own tab in back offie? have you got controller for it? (separate php file)

[shahil512]

Yes to both your questions.

[vekia]

so, in your controller file you've got function:

 

public function display(){
}

 

 

you can put there something like:

 

 if (isset($_POST['your_button'])){
       $this->dosomething();
 } 

[shahil512]

Hi, our prestashop version is 1.5. We are not using 1.4

[vekia]

so in the controler you should have got something like this :

 

public function renderList(){

}

 

you can use if condition in this function.

[shahil512]

Hi, here i my file.

 

-------------------

 

<?php

include_once( PS_ADMIN_DIR.'/../classes/AdminTab.php');

 

class AdminInPost extends AdminTab

{

public function __construct()

{

$this->table = 'restapi';

$this->className = 'InPost';

$this->lang = false;

//$this->addRowAction('view');

$this->edit = false;

$this->delete = false;

//$this->addRowAction('delete');

 

 

$this->fieldsDisplay = array(

'sr_num' => array(

'title' => $this->l('Serial No'),

'align' => 'center',

'width' => 25),

'parcel_id' => array(

'title' => $this->l('Carrier PID'),

'width' => 200),

'payment_status' => array(

'title' => $this->l('Payment Status'),

'align' => 'center',

'width' => 25),

'dest_city' => array(

'title' => $this->l('Destination'),

'width' => 200),

'machine' => array(

'title' => $this->l('Machine'),

'width' => 200),

'email' => array(

'title' => $this->l('Email'),

'width' => 200),

'mobile' => array(

'title' => $this->l('Mobile'),

'width' => 100),

'parcel_size' => array(

'title' => $this->l('Parcel Size'),

'align' => 'center',

'width' => 100),

'id_img' => array(

'title' => $this->l('Action'),

'prefix' => '<a href="index.php?controller=AdminInPost&token=a85e8ea89d91ff0e2840f02aaaa75c9d&diaplay">',

'suffix' => '<img src="../img/admin/note.png" name="imgclick"></a>', // replace with Constant from config

'align' => 'center',

'width' => 100)

);

 

$this->identifier = 'sr_num';

 

parent::__construct();

}

 

 

public function diaplay(){

if (tools::getValue('imgclick')){

echo "rachit";

die('called');

}

}

 

public function displayForm()

{

global $currentIndex;

 

$defaultLanguage = intval(Configuration::get('PS_LANG_DEFAULT'));

$languages = Language::getLanguages();

$obj = $this->loadObject(true);

 

echo '

<script type="text/javascript">

id_language = Number('.$defaultLanguage.');

</script>';

}

 

 

}

?>

[vekia]

just create function that i mentioned.

 

 

btw.

public function diaplay(){
if (tools::getValue('imgclick')){
echo "rachit";
die('called');
}
}

 

doesn't work?

[shahil512]

Hi, we don't have tpl file. We already put function you told but it is not working.

[vekia]

there is no render list function

[shahil512]

yes, we don't have list function.

[longip]

is there any module that does this ?

[vekia]

is there any module that does this ?

 

what you mean by "this" ? what you exactly expect?

[longip]

a module to create aditional tabs (similar to Orders, Catalog etc), aditional sub-tabs and tabs for product (similar to combinations, associations etc).
