Generate Admin Pages Token for Internal Linking and URL Query

[poplol]

Hi

I am currently doing a prestashop modification where i can pass parameters for example to show me order with the status from 8- 12.. Its code is ok.

The problem is that i copy and paste the token from other pages it works for the current user, but when the user changes it does not work. Can anyone help on how to create a new token for me to link internally my pages

LINK EXAMPLE = /admin/index.php?tab=AdminOrders&id_state=8&token=520975cae29bde4b1032996d68fbbb3d

I want the token= part to be dynamic.. can anyone help please

Thanks Presta Forum

P.S I am making the internal linking from the homepage of the admin and also from certain modules i developed myself

Bumping this as it is coming up in search results near the top.

The admin token is generated on the fly so of course you cannot just copy and paste the rendered value and expect it to work.

It will depend a bit on the context of where you are generating the link as to what all is available but the usual approach looks like this:

taken from one of a custom module's hook functions:

$token=Tools::getAdminToken('[classname]'.intval(Tab::getIdFromClassName('[classname]')).intval($params['cookie']->id_employee));

Where you would replace "[classname]" with the name of the tab class you are linking to.

i.e. taken from the stock PayPal module:

$token=Tools::getAdminToken('AdminOrders'.(int)(Tab::getIdFromClassName('AdminOrders')).(int)($cookie->id_employee));

Where you get the employee id from depends on what you are doing (a hook would see it in the $params array);

For me 

Tools::getAdminTokenLite('AdminProducts')

did the trick.
