Custom ModuleAdminController

[Kerel]

Hi,

 

I have a module which displays table in DisplayAdminProductsExtra hook, and there are links to another controller extending ModuleAdminController.

 

Controller is in my_module/controllers/admin/

 

link is: index.php?controller=AdminDetailSpecificationTables

 

It didn't work for first time - but I've created link to the menu tab and now it works (strange)

 

However, controller is loaded, but not template.

 

When I use $this->setTemplate('display.tpl'); and my template is in my_module/views/templates/admin/display.tpl

 

It showss me this error:

Unable to load template file 'D:\wamp\www\xxx\adminyyyy/themes/default\template\display.tpl'

 

which is a little bit strange, url is broken. I am getting frustrated.

 

If you could help, I would really appreciate it

 

Thanks!

bump?

Thanks so much!!! 

 

Have to find correct folder: detail_specification_tables instead of detailspecificationtables

Also don't understand why it should be my_module/views/templates/admin/my_module, theres nothing about it in the documentation.

Documentation sucks very badly - why prestashop doesn't have documentation like wordpress?

 

Really, thanks so much! I was quite depressed with this, struggling few hours.

i overrided the method createTemplate($template)

 public function __construct() {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->template = 'displayAdmin.tpl';
    }

    
    
    
    public function createTemplate($tpl_name) {
        // Use override tpl if it exists
        // If view access is denied, we want to use the default template that will be used to display an error
        if ($this->viewAccess() && $this->override_folder) {
            if (file_exists($this->context->smarty->getTemplateDir(1) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $this->override_folder . $tpl_name))
                return $this->context->smarty->createTemplate($this->override_folder . $tpl_name, $this->context->smarty);
            elseif (file_exists($this->context->smarty->getTemplateDir(0) . 'controllers' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $this->override_folder . $tpl_name))
                return $this->context->smarty->createTemplate('controllers' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $this->override_folder . $tpl_name, $this->context->smarty);
        }
        return $this->context->smarty->createTemplate(_PS_MODULE_DIR_.'symstick\views\templates\admin\symstick/'. $tpl_name, $this->context->smarty);

Just bumbed in to this via search. 

Old post I know, but if anyone gets here this might help him/her

I use

class MyModuleModuleFrontController extends ModuleFrontController
{
        /* Conctructor of the controller */
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
    }

    public function initContent()
    {
        parent::initContent();
        // possible variables you want to use in tpl
        $this->context->smarty->assign(
            array(
                'var1' => $var1,
                'var2' => $var2,
            )
        );

        if (version_compare(_PS_VERSION_, '1.7.0.0 ', '<')) {
          	// must be in folder modulename/views/templates/front/
            return $this->setTemplate('front16.tpl');
        } else {
	        // must be in folder modulename/views/templates/front/
            $this->setTemplate('module:MyModule/views/templates/front/front17.tpl');
        }
    }
}

Replace MyModule with your module name, variables, filename etc.
