Override form.tpl in AdminCartRulesController

[Hattori]

Hi!

I want to override default template called "form.tpl". It is in: /[admin]//themes/default/template/controllers/cart_rules/

 

I copied it, modified and placed in:

 

/override/controllers/admin/themes/default/template/controllers/cart_rules/

 

(i also tried: /modules/[my_module]/views/templates/admin/themes/default/template/controllers/cart_rules/ ).

 

 

This template is used by AdminCartRulesController:

 

$this->content .= $this->createTemplate('form.tpl')->fetch();

 

How can I change the path that controller takes this template from?

You can’t override core theme files. It is not possible in prestashop. You can only override controller and class files.

 

Create a override for the controller and call a different tmp file that you have created in place of core tmp file.

Ok, thanks for your reply!

Please tell me how can I override controller - eg. AdminCartRulesController.

You can follow this doc:

Yes, but this doc describes only manualy overriding. I want to override controller using my module.

In order to override the Product class, your file needs to be called Product.php and must feature a Product class that then extends ProductCore class.

 

The file can be placed in either of these locations:

 

/override/classes/Product.php

/modules/my_module/override/classes/Product.php

 

In order to override the ProductController class, your file needs to be called ProductController.php and must feature a ProductController class that then extends ProductControllerCore class.

 

The file can be placed in either of these locations:

 

/override/controllers/front/ProductController.php

/modules/my_module/override/controllers/front/ProductController.php
