How to override product listing page with custom queries

[me.yasin]

I create module that display filters in left column. I want to run this module on categories page. I want custom queries to get products data and create pagination for this data. But I don't know how to override these functionalists in my custom module.

 

Any functions or hooks that I use when queering products.

 

Category page may be like this

 

http://localhost/prestashop/2-men

I will be gratefull

I want to pass product data to product-list.tpl file from my module. In short I don't want to use prestashop functions to get product data instead I code my custom queries to get product data and assign this data to product-list file to display.

 

hope you can understand now.

Your Post is quite confusing. I'm not sure what you want, a module or an override for a page...?

[vekia]

in this case you have to override the category controller or front controller (with static function)

then you will be able to use variables in the product-list.tpl file

 

there is no other way

Ah Got it,

 

You want to override a controller. I think it's categoryController you want to change. But first, tell us what you want as a result? What is shortly your query?
