Adding a module link in the back office does not work

[aymeric69001]

Hello,

I am trying to display a link on the back office left menu in Prestashop (see the Modern Controllers part here )

 

Here is the hierarchy of my module's files:
 

mysupermodule

   config
       routes.yml
       services.php
       services.yml
   dev
        ... NOT RELEVANT HERE
   src
      Controller
            DemoController.php
    vendor
        ... NOT RELEVANT here
    views
        js
            app.js
            chunk-vendor.js
        templates
            admin
                app.tpl
    mysupermodule.php

routes.yml

mysupermodule:
    path: mysupermodule/demo
    methods: [GET]
    defaults:
      _controller: 'MySuperModule\Controller\DemoController::demoAction'
      _legacy_controller: 'MySuperModuleDemoController'
      _legacy_link: 'MySuperModuleDemoController'

services.yml

services:
  _defaults:
    public: true

  your_company.mysupermodule.your_service:
    class: YourCompany\MySuperModule\DemoController
    arguments:
      - "@translator"
      - "My custom message"
      
imports:
    - { resource: services.php }

 

DemoController.php

namespace MySuperModule\Controller;

use PrestaShopBundle\Controller\Admin\FrameworkBundleAdminController;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Context;
use ModuleCore;

class DemoController extends FrameworkBundleAdminController
{
    public function demoAction()
    {
        $context = Context::getContext();
        $module = ModuleCore::getInstanceByName("mysupermodule");        
        $context->smarty->assign([
            'pathApp' => $module->getPathUri() . 'views/js/app.js',
            'chunkVendor' => $module->getPathUri() . 'views/js/chunk-vendors.js',
        ]);
        die($context->smarty->fetch('module:'.'mysupermodule'.'/views/templates/admin/app.tpl')); 
    }
}

mysupermodule.php

<?php
if (!defined('_PS_VERSION_')) {
    exit;
}


class MySuperModule extends Module
{

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->name = 'mysupermodule';
        $this->tab = 'front_office_features';
        $this->version = '1.0.0';
        $this->author = 'Aymeric Lastname';
        $this->need_instance = 0;
        $this->ps_versions_compliancy = [
            'min' => '1.7.0.0',
            'max' => '8.99.99',
        ];
        $this->bootstrap = true;

        
        parent::__construct();
        $this->displayName = $this->l('SUpermodule for your Prestashop');
        $this->description = $this->l('This module allows you to ....');

        $this->confirmUninstall = $this->l('Are you sure you want to uninstall?');

    }

    public function install()
    {
       return parent::install() && $this->installTab(); // && $this->_installSql() && $this->_installTab(); 
    }
    
    public function uninstall()
    {
        return parent::uninstall() && $this->uninstallTab(); // && $this->_uninstallSql() && $this->_uninstallTab();
    }



    public function enable($force_all = false)
    {
        return parent::enable($force_all)
            && $this->installTab()
        ;
    }

    public function disable($force_all = false)
    {
        return parent::disable($force_all)
            && $this->uninstallTab()
        ;
    }

    private function installTab()
    {
        $tabId = (int) Tab::getIdFromClassName('MySuperModuleDemoController');
        if (!$tabId) {
            $tabId = null;
        }

        $tab = new Tab($tabId);
        $tab->active = 1;
        $tab->class_name = 'MySuperModuleDemoController';
        // Only since 1.7.7, you can define a route name
        $tab->route_name = 'admin_my_symfony_routing';
        $tab->name = array();
        foreach (Language::getLanguages() as $lang) {
            $tab->name[$lang['id_lang']] = $this->trans('My Module Demo', array(), 'Modules.MySuperModule.Admin', $lang['locale']);
        }
        $tab->id_parent = (int) Tab::getIdFromClassName('ShopParameters');
        $tab->module = $this->name;

        return $tab->save();
    }

    private function uninstallTab()
    {
        $tabId = (int) Tab::getIdFromClassName('MySuperModuleDemoController');
        if (!$tabId) {
            return true;
        }

        $tab = new Tab($tabId);

        return $tab->delete();
    }
}

 

So, a link should appear in the Shop Parameters section (see image below), but it does not ....

Hi.

[aymeric69001]

thanks,

 

solution : replace "mysupermodule" (first line of routes.yml) with admin_my_symfony_routing

 

So now, it appears, BUT when I click on the link, it redirect to a full page with the content of my admin page (so that's great) but without all the admin surroundings (i.e. the left menu, the admin header  etc.)
