[1.7] Extending/overriding a function in AdminController.php

[Karakko]

Hey.

 

I want to change a function within AdminController.php and I'm wondering what would be the best way to do that so that the future updates wouldn't overwrite my changes?

 

Note that my changes are specific to my shop, so while contributing/opensourcing the changes is possible, no one will be able to use them.

 

Thanks!

 

P.S.: Is the process for overriding a function within a module the same?

As far as I can see the controller overrides in 1.6 and 1.7 are the same. The module overrides have changed.

 

1.7 Docs:

 

controller override: http://developers.prestashop.com/module/04-DivingIntoPSCoreDevelopment/03-ControllersWithinPrestaShop.html?highlight=override

 

module override: http://developers.prestashop.com/themes/modules/index.html#overriding-modules

 

 

So because the controller override in 1.7 is similar you can use the 1.6 docs as a starting point:

Thanks! I didn't remember to check out the 1.6 documentation!
