How to override the class of "/modules/blockreinsurance/blockreinsurance.php" ? Thanks.

unfortunately it isn't possible to override module .php file.

You can only override module:

1. tpl files
2. css files
3. js files
4. images

Thanks a lot for your information. So, if we want to change a module's behavor, we have to create a new module? Because if we changed the module .php file directly, the module can't be upgraded. Not sure if it will affect Prestashop's upgrade!

Creating a (modified) copy would be a good idea, you'd be independent from updates. Best is to clearly document what you change though, as new versions of original Prestashop modules may include interesting functionality, so when having well documented changes, you can do the upgrade to the new module quickly.

You could however copy this module into your themes/yourtheme/modules...and it would be safe from upgrades

but in this case .php file will not be overrided, and module will use original one

Ideally by conventions its not allowed, The overriding of Modules from theme, However i created a file that checks the parent Module and generates a copy and modifies the name and loads the one in your theme, and if it doesn't exist it picks the old one. it might not be ideal but its necessary for me in terms of MultiShop, Different themes but same Moodle. it works for Prestashop 1.6

Is it still not possible to overwrite .php files from module? 

 

I dont make a lot of changes. Mostly i only change hook. How should I do that? I mean it works now great, but on click to update and my changes are lost...

module .php files cannot be overriden.  you either ...

 

1) update the module directly (not recommended),

2) you make a copy of the module and apply your changes (you would need to rename the module, and recode it)

3) another approach is to create your functionality in a controller or class that is used by this modules hook, and do that via a controller/class override.  this may or may not be possible, depending on what you are trying to accomplish

4) similar to 3, you would create your functionality in a controller or class override (add a new function).  Then edit the original module to invoke that code.  This way you would not lose your custom coding, and you only need to remember to add that 1 line of code when you upgrade the module.

In case we want to assign the module with a new custom hook, is there any other approach?

Create a new custom hook [toprighthead] in my template & assing a module [blockuserinfo] with it.
