Hello,

 

Here's a code example:

 

 

Filename: ProductController.php

File path: /modules/[mymodule]/override/controllers/front/ProductController.php

To be effective, the methods in this file will be automatically copied by PrestaShop when you install the module

Copied file path: [root]/override/controllers/front/ProductController.php (use this path directly if it's not about a module)

class ProductController extends ProductControllerCore 
{

  // put your override method(s) here
  //example
  public function setMedia()
  {
    //...
  }
}

Make sure to empty PrestaShop cache to make it work, or simply delete the file /config/class_index.php, that's the override caching file. Edited January 20, 2016 by Tuni-Soft (see edit history)

I am trying to override a controller in my module. So I copied /controllers/admin/AdminPdfController.php to mymodule/override/controllers/admin/AdminPdfController.php as a test, without any change.

 

When I try to install my module I get this error message:

 

The following module(s) could not be installed properly:

• mymodule :
      Unable to install override: Class AdminPdfControllerOverride56a152e8bb0f2 does not exist

What am I missing?
