Hi guys... Like the title says, My module front controller produces a 404,
even though the SEO URL has been set in B.O...
I built the module on localhost (xampp) using a full copy of the production site (prestashop 1.6.0.8).. everything works great on the local setup,
install & un-install works a treat... but... as soon as I load the module on the production site the friendly URL generates the 404 error,
I've tried other development servers & had the same results, I just cant for the life of me figure out why the module produces the 404..
I've tried ...
- disabling/enabling the friendly urls,
- deleted htaccess & re-generated
- changed module controller name, uppercase, lowercase..
- before / after install, deleted "cache_index.php"
- removed the record from the SEO URL table & created another with different name,
- cleared all browser cookies, tried other browsers.
- enabled _PS_MODE_DEV_
- enabled _PS_DEBUG_PROFILING_
still getting the 404 while on production
MODULE - /modules/MYCheckins/MYCheckins.php
class MYCheckins extends Module { protected $config_form = false; public function __construct() { $this->name = 'MYCheckins'; $this->tab = 'front_office_features'; $this->version = '1.0'; $this->author = 'MartyG'; $this->need_instance = 1; $this->dbTable = 'my_checkins'; $this->maxRows = 50; $this->maxImgWidth = 380; $this->maxImgHeight = 400; $this->bootstrap = true; parent::__construct(); $this->displayName = $this->l('My Checkins'); $this->description = $this->l('my checkin mapping tool.'); $this->confirmUninstall = $this->l('Are you sure you would like to uninstall this module?'); $this->ps_versions_compliancy = array('min' => '1.6', 'max' => '1.6.99.99'); } public function install() { .. } ... }
CONTROLLER - MYCheckins/controllers/front/checkin.php
class MYCheckinsCheckinModuleFrontController extends ModuleFrontController { // commented out, didnt seem to do anything? // tried with & without still the same.. //public $php_self = "checkin"; public function init() { parent::init(); // SEO META $this->context->smarty->tpl_vars['meta_title']->value = Configuration::get('MYCHECKIN_META_TITLE'); $this->context->smarty->tpl_vars['meta_description']->value = Configuration::get('MYCHECKIN_META_DESC'); // DISABLE SIDEBARS $this->display_column_left = false; $this->display_column_right = false; } public function initContent() { parent::initContent(); ...(lots of other code, checking records, getting config values) // load the template $this->setTemplate('checkin.tpl'); } public function postProcess() { // check form submission if( Tools::isSubmit() )... // do validation, // insert to db // send email // show template $this->setTemplate('complete.tpl'); } }
Like I mentioned the module works great on my local system & production...
I can load up the module controller using the standard link
https://www.site.com/index.php?fc=module&module=MYCheckins&controller=checkin
but the url should be
https://www.site.com/checkin
But this still generates that 404 output...
Localhost: PHP Version 5.6.21
Production: PHP Version 5.4.45 (could this cause any issues)
is there anything else I should try..?
