Hi,

You have  save  the  API  KEY  in  a configuration  value  and  call  it where you need it in your  module.

Can you please share your code? 

public function install()
    {

        $keyId = $this->getKeyId();
        $wsKey = new WebserviceKey($keyId ? $keyId : null);
        $wsKey->active = true;
        $wsKey->description = self::KEY_DESCRIPTION_MARKER;

        do {
            $wsKey->key = $this->generateKey(self::KEY_LENGTH);
        } while (WebserviceKey::keyExists($wsKey->key));

        $wsKey->add();

        $permissions_file = "../modules/".$this->name."/data/permissions.json";
        $jsonPermissions = file_get_contents($permissions_file); //TODO controlli sul file
        $permissions_to_set = json_decode($jsonPermissions,true);
        $wsKey->setPermissionForAccount($wsKey->id,$permissions_to_set);

        $configuration = new stdClass();
        $configuration->soap_key = $wsKey->key;

        Configuration::updateValue('XXX_CONFIGURATION', json_encode($configuration));

        return parent::install() &&
            $this->registerHook('actionAdminControllerSetMedia') &&
            $this->registerHook('displayBackOfficeHeader');
    }

i was trying this code that i found in this post https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/947964-how-to-set-up-permission-for-user-programmatically/?_fromLogin=1

but unfortunatly it dosn't seems to work its missing some parts i guess

Just  you did not  put  the configuration  value in the right place.

Configuration::updateValue('XXX_CONFIGURATION', json_encode($configuration));   //this  should go inside the condition

        return parent::install() &&
            $this->registerHook('actionAdminControllerSetMedia') &&
            $this->registerHook('displayBackOfficeHeader');


//  do   this :
        return (parent::install() &&
            $this->registerHook('actionAdminControllerSetMedia') &&
            $this->registerHook('displayBackOfficeHeader') &&
            Configuration::updateValue('XXX_CONFIGURATION', json_encode($configuration))
            );

 

what about $keyId = $this->getKeyId(); ? is this predifined in prestashop ?

No,  the  PrestaShop  function  to save  a configuration  value is  :  Configuration::updateValue('Variable_Namae',   'Value t save  here' )   

i have tried changing what you propsed but unlucky. the problem isn't solved because the system dosn't recognize the key ID

$keyId = $this->getKeyId();

can you please try running the code.

Running it where?

From what  I read in your code you don't even need to save   data in the configuration.

You can  just  call  the  json_encode($configuration)       where you want  it to be .

 

i tried to forget about that part and leave only the rest of the code, but that didn't make it work. what i come to is that the problem is come to the first instruction wich is the one i mentioned earlier 

$keyId = $this->getKeyId();

do i have by deafault the $this->getKeyId() funciton in the install() function ? or in module ? or that i need to impliment some code to get it working ?

I see you just  copy  from here?

 

yes, that's what i have done. i am trying to create a Module that activate the API by code like it will be automated. then i just found that code seems to be talking about what i wanna do so i just copy paste in install() function but that dosn't seems to be working.
