Prestashop 1.7 $this->l(''); blocks module

[catalin.pop]

Hello. I'm trying to port my PS1.6 module to PS1.7

My module is blocked by this code line:

class AdminMymoduleController extends ModuleAdminController {
...
public function __construct() {
    $this->meta_title = $this->l('whatever');
}

If I remove the $this->l('whatever')

 

$this->meta_title = 'whatever';

It works.

 

 

Has something changed or is this a bug?

did you trying?

$this->trans('whatever', array(), 'Modules.Modulename.Admin')

Yes. I saw that too. Same effect.

 

The funny thing is that in the same class I have

    public function initToolBarTitle() {
        $this->toolbar_title[] = $this->l('Toolbar title');
    }

And it's working

 

did you trying?

$this->trans('whatever', array(), 'Modules.Modulename.Admin')

what exactly do you mean by 'blocks module'?  Is there a specific error you are receiving?

 

Also, in the future do not say 1.7, there are already 6 different versions, so be more specific.

 

function l still exists in the AdminController class, so you can still use it.  maybe you can't use it on the __construct function
