[solved] how to determine if context is front-office/back-office

[lanouettea]

I'm trying to prevent a specific carrier from being ever displayed to customers through the front office. I only want this carrier to be displayed in the Order creation through the back-office.

 

In order to do this, I thought about overriding the function that lists carriers in the Carrier class. I would simply filter out this carrier if the piece of code is called from the front office, and let it through if the code is called from the back office.

 

I would have expected the Context variable to hold this information, but I can't find any mean to do that. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

 

Thank you in advance,

Here's how I ended up achieveing this, in case anyone needs to do this:

 

$current_context = Context::getContext();
if ($current_context->controller->controller_type == 'front'){
   // Do whatever you need to do here
}
