Webservice - theme from scratch

[Katia Smet]

Hi everyone

 

I'm new in Prestashop and it seemed good to build a webshop for a client in it. I have experience with php, html, css, js, ... I designed the webshop and I have the static webpages.

 

Now I tried to build this with prestashop but it just seems so complex to create a proper structure for each page? Is it correct that you can only control the structure from the back office with modules ? Can I make this easier?

 

As an alternative I tried to do api calls with json but posting information f.e. a customer won't work. I'm trying to do the post with slim so I can build my app with react. But I keep getting errors on the asXML line

 

$app->get($base, function($request, $response, $args){

 

  try

  {

  $webService = new PrestaShopWebservice(PS_SHOP_PATH, PS_WS_AUTH_KEY, DEBUG);

 

    $xml->customer->firstname = 'a';

    $xml->customer->lastname = 'a';

    $xml->customer->email = '[email protected]';

    $xml->customer->newsletter = '1';

    $xml->customer->optin = '1';

    $xml->customer->active = '1';

 

    $opt = array('resource' => 'customers');

    $opt['postXml'] = $xml->asXML();

    $xml = $webService->add($opt);

  }

  catch (PrestaShopWebserviceException $e)

  {

  $trace = $e->getTrace();

  if ($trace[0]['args'][0] == 404) echo 'Bad ID';

  else if ($trace[0]['args'][0] == 401) echo 'Bad auth key';

  else echo 'Other error';

  }

 

  $test = 'ok';

 

  $response->getBody()->write($test);

  return $response->withHeader('Content-Type','application/json');

 

});

 

Can somebody help me please? I've done so much research...

Thx
