Form creation in Back office

[Venky967]

Hello everyone, I'm very much new to prestashop but still managed to add a tab in the menu items by creating a new module. Now i need to create a form that contains some input fields and button just like a sign up page after clicking on the tab(CRUD Model) that i created.

 

please have a look at the upload image.

 

Thank you in advance.

This page, in addition to providing useful validator for checking your module:

 

https://validator.prestashop.com/auth/login

 

also contains a link at the top of the page to a module generator, which provides a structure for what files (e.g. template and controller) you'll need for your module.

 

If you generate a module, you can examine its structure and see what you need for your module.

Hello,

 

How did you put a new tab on your backoffice ? You have Prestashop 1.7 ?

 

Really need to do it.

 

Thank you in advance.

<?php

 

 

class YourModule extends Module

{

 

//tabs to be created in the backoffice menu

protected $tabs = [

[

'name' => 'Tab Creation',

'className' => 'tabcreation',

'active' => 1,

//submenus

'childs' => [

[

'active' => 1,

'name' => 'Tab1',

'className' => 'tab1',

],

 

],

],

];

 

 

 

//add a tab in the backoffice menu

public function addTab(

$tabs,

$id_parent = 0

)

{

foreach ($tabs as $tab)

{

$tabModel = new Tab();

$tabModel->module = $this->name;

$tabModel->active = $tab['active'];

$tabModel->class_name = $tab['className'];

$tabModel->id_parent = $id_parent;

 

//tab text in each language

foreach (Language::getLanguages(true) as $lang)

{

$tabModel->name[$lang['id_lang']] = $tab['name'];

}

 

$tabModel->add();

 

//submenus of the tab

if (isset($tab['childs']) && is_array($tab['childs']))

{

$this->addTab($tab['childs'], Tab::getIdFromClassName($tab['className']));

}

}

return true;

}

 

//remove a tab and its childrens from the backoffice menu

public function removeTab($tabs)

{

foreach ($tabs as $tab)

{

$id_tab = (int) Tab::getIdFromClassName($tab["className"]);

if ($id_tab)

{

$tabModel = new Tab($id_tab);

$tabModel->delete();

}

 

if (isset($tab["childs"]) && is_array($tab["childs"]))

{

$this->removeTab($tab["childs"]);

}

}

 

return true;

}

 

public function install()

{

//module installation

$success = parent::install();

 

//if the installation fails, return error

if (!$success)

{

return false;

}

 

//create the tabs in the backoffice menu

$this->addTab($this->tabs);

 

return true;

}

 

public function uninstall(){

$this->removeTab($this->tabs);

return parent::uninstall();

}

}

 

It will be solved.

Thank you very much, i'll test it.

 

You are on Prestashop 1.7 ?

[Venky967]

Yeah I'm using The same.

[garytnt]

Doesn't work...

 

My module was on the BO menu in 1.6 but i just upgrade to 1.7 and my module disappear from the BackOffice menu... I don't know why...

 

If someone can help me ?

 

Thank you 

[Venky967]

After upgrading to 1.7 , Can you see your module inside root/modules folder?

[garytnt]

Yes i see the module in the backoffice too, i can modify the module in the BO too, but it disappear in the BackOffice menu...

This link in this menu sent us in another page configuration of our module. Thats why it's very important to recover this link in the BO menu
