Custom response header from FrontController

[lmikula]

Hello,

 

   where would be the best way to place code to add custom response header to all front pages ?

Currently I do it in:

override/controllers/FrontController.php

Where i override the initHeader() function like this:

        public function initHeader()
        {
                parent::initHeader();

		if ($this->context->customer->isLogged())
		{
			/** some more logic **/

			header('X-PS-CustomHeader: some_value');
		}
        }

It works as expected (at least from a brief test)...

 

My question is: Is this the right procedure or is there a better/more appropriate way to achieve this ?

Check the method Tools::redirect, you will find that PrestaShop uses the same technique, nothing special (check the code after // Send additional headers)

Well i meant not the header function itself, but whether it's along with the best practice and coding standards in PS

(I mean the placement of that code)

Yes, check the method FrontController::initHeader
