How to display a button in Prestashop back office orders page?

[Venky967]

I want to add a text or button in orders page through my custom module without changing any core files?

Yes you have to override adminOrdersController in order to do that.

[Venky967]

Thank you

 

I have extended my class .Now what must be included inside this in order to display a text or button.

 

class TuconfigureController extends AdminOrdersController

{

    public function __construct()

    {

        $this->bootstrap = true;

        $this->lang = (!isset($this->context->cookie) || !is_object($this->context->cookie)) ? intval(Configuration::get('PS_LANG_DEFAULT')) : intval($this->context->cookie->id_lang);

        parent::__construct();

    }

 

    public function initContent()

    {

        parent::initContent();

    }

 

 

}

Can you be a little more spesific on what you would like to add and where? Also please tell on what prestashop edition you are making the changes!

[Venky967]

I am using prestashop 1.7.0.4

 

when we view  any one of the orders I want to add a button  in shipping address block.

 

I am specifying sample url where you can have an idea regarding page that i need to override 

controller=AdminOrders&id_order=5&vieworder&token=4e10ca68658d3e87902e5faaf8b4ef5c

At first, I thought you wanted to change the order list that's why I said you needed to change the orders controller.

 

The file you are searching to alter is the 

ADMIN_DIRECTORY/themes/default/template/controllers/orders/helpers/view/view.tpl

 There you can add your button and then if you want to bind it with an ajax call you should create in your override a function like the following

public function ajaxProcessMyFunction(){ ... }

[Venky967]

Thanks for your immediate replies.

 

Sorry that was not my question's intension.Let me clear it from beginning.

I have created a module named "Mymodule".Inside the module i have folders like

          Mymodule

                    controller(folder)

                              admin

                                   samplefile.php

                              front

                    override(folder)

                    views(folder)

                    mymodule.php file.

 

Above is my modules hierarchy 

 

My intension was to add a button below the shipping address through my own module without disturbing prestashop core files. Is it possible ?

If yes,please provide indetail regarding which files must be created inside the folders.  

 

 

 

Hope you understood.Thanks

In your modules override folder add 

\controllers\admin\templates\orders\helpers\view\view.tpl

in that tpl copy the code from 

ADMIN_DIRECTORY/themes/default/template/controllers/orders/helpers/view/view.tpl

and make the changes you wish.

 

Re-install your module or just add manually the tpl file in the override folder of the PrestaShop installation and you are good to go!

[Venky967]

Thank you

 

Did the same thing you asked but didn't see any changes in the orders page. 

Things I have done:

            1. Copied the file from ADMIN_DIRECTORY/themes/default/template/controllers/orders/helpers/view/ and pasted in my module .../view/ (folder).

            2. Created anchor tag next to edit in shipping address block.

           3. Reinstalled my module and clicked on orders tab.

But found no change. 

 

Do we need to call this view.tpl from any function?

[BalzoT]

normally no! do you have any cache enabled? 

[Venky967]

Cache is in disabled mode only.

 

Any modifications to be done in main file or controller file?

 

Thanks.

[BalzoT]

there is no modification to the controller needed at this point. Please check if the file

ROOT_DIRECTORY/override\controllers\admin\templates\orders\helpers\view/view.tpl

has been created. If not do it manually!

[Venky967]

Thanks Balzo you are right..

 

But I don't want to alter any files in prestashop root directory.

Everthing must be affected dynamically from my custom module.

[BalzoT]

well, that is the point of the override folder!Let me explain it to you.

Everything you have in the override folder of your modules on the installation should be copied inside the override folder of Prestashop. Prestashop does this automatically when you install the module but in this case, I don't know why it didn't. So feel free to add anything to the override folder! 

[Venky967]

Thank you very much for your patience.

 

Can you please help me how to add dynamically the files in ROOT_DIRECTORY/override/ folder by installing my custom module.

 

So what changes should i do in my custom module to get this.

[BalzoT]

Normally PrestaShop does this automatically when you install the module. There is a case though that it doesn't. This happens when another module has already created the same override so we have a conflict. 

 

My advice is to uninstall and delete the module from PrestaShop and then try reinstalling it if you have the correct file structure the override will be made!

 I am searching  two days for this solution.thank you bro @BalzoT and @Venky967

FYI: at least at PS 1.7 you have generic hooks for grid modifiers that allows you to do it. You can reuse existing actions or create your own:

https://devdocs.prestashop.com/1.7/development/components/grid/tutorials/work-with-row-actions/

in general you should avoid overrides when possible.

So that looks great but at this point the orders grid is not implemented using this methods yet....

As an alternative, I'd suscribed a custom js using the actionAdminControllerSetMedia hook. That js add the button with a controller link that receive the order id from the row as a parameter.
