Override Of Admin Controller By A Module :

[Diurne]

Hi, I'm currently on a module that will add fields in the AdminOrdersController.php located here :

/controller/admin/AdminOrdersController.php

So I put the override in my module here :

my_module/override/controllers/admin/AdminOrdersController.php

<?php

class AdminOrdersController extends AdminOrdersControllerCore
{
    public function postProcess()
    {
       parent::postProcess();
    }
    public function renderView()
    {
      parent::renderView();
    }
}

And I wanted to override the _shipping.tpl located here :

/gestion/themes/default/template/controllers/orders/_shipping.tpl

So I put in my module a file named _shipping.tpl here :

my_module/override/controllers/admin/templates/orders/_shipping.tpl

And nothing happen.

_shipping.tpl is not loaded by the controller framework, which means you cannot override it directly.  It is included by a different admin theme file, which is...

admin\themes\default\template\controllers\orders\helpers\view\view.tpl

so you have to override both view.tpl and _shipping.tpl.  In view.tpl you will find ...

{include file='controllers/orders/_shipping.tpl'}

so in your override view.tpl, you would change it to ...

{include file='../../_shipping.tpl'}

A few notes...

1) You don't have to override the AdminOrder controller for this. 

2) The admin themes make use of module hooks, so it is always best to try to use a module hook before you resort to using overrides.  So if you are trying to add something to these section, then you may want to use the '$HOOK_CONTENT_SHIP' hook that is defined in _shipping.tpl

Hi bellini13 thank you for your answer, so this is the current module I've made and I still don't see the change I've made on _shipping.tpl, I've made the change as you said and I still don't see any change, any ideas ?

well you have to install the module and confirm that your override files are actually moved to the correct overrides folder during the install process.

I got the AdminOrderController but templates no.

When I put all my files template into the override folder I can see my modifications but smarty variables I added in the override cannot be found.

[bellini13]

did you delete and re-create your cache/class_index.php after installing the controller override file?

 

have you considered using module hooks instead of overrides?

[Diurne]

Yes I deleted the class_index.php after installing the controller.

I considered using hooks but I modify the current style by modifying input and adding a select on the order carrier to modify it.

[bellini13]

your module can include javascript and styling, it doesn't have to override a template file for that.

 

as to why it's not working for you, I can't pretend to know what you coded...
