Add new bulk button in backoffice product list like Delete selected

[vlskrbek]

Hello,

I would like to help with prestashop version 1.5.3.1.

I know that this is quite an old version but we still have it.

 

I need just clue not to develope it. The user vekia was very helpfull hope somebody still can help like he.

I need add new button for bulk operation like there is already "Delete selected" and I want to add new one just next to it so I can do my thinks.

I know that the main part is in AdminProductsController.php but I cannot find where should I put the function for new bulk button and where should I put the button itself.

See the picture.

 

Thank for help.

Best Regards

The better way is to create own module and override "AdminProductsController.php" like as:
 

class AdminProductsController  extends AdminProductsControllerCore

{

  public function __construct($theme_name = 'default')
    {
        $this->bootstrap = true;
         $this->bulk_actions = array(
            'enableRajNaZemi' => array(
                'text' => $this->l('Set Raj na zemi'),
                'icon' => 'icon-power-off text-success',
            ),
        );  

        parent::__construct('', $theme_name);
    }
    public function processBulkEnableRajNaZemi()
    {
        //do something
         
    }
}

if you do not want to create own module, you can write directly into AdminProductsController.php file
 

  public function __construct($theme_name = 'default')
    {
        ..
        ..
        if (!is_array($this->bulk_actions)) {
                $this->bulk_actions = array();
        }

        $this->bulk_actions = array_merge(array(
            'enableRajNaZemi' => array(
                'text' => $this->l('Set Raj na zemi'),
                'icon' => 'icon-power-off text-success',
            ),
        );  

        parent::__construct('', $theme_name);
    }
    public function processBulkEnableRajNaZemi()
    {
        //do something
         
    }

Thanks very much. I have also find this way but your example was very helpful anyway. 

Firstly I need to find out how it works then I would create override. 

When I tried it I found the comment that I should create method with name "bulkActionName". But in reality it is name "processBulkActionName". 

For me this is a little misleading. Why there is the word "process" in the beginning? 

If I follow that comment then it will not work. 

Best regards

I assume  it's a rhetorical question
It is name convention for the controller's functions that should process bulk actions

Thanks. That my problem. I am not familier with php and PrestaShop controllers and that why it is very difficult to find something. 

Thanks for help. 

Best regards.
