Calling your own code when exporting the template

[lunchtime-Prediction]

Hi,

I want to execute my code when exporting the template, I found  the action<AdminControllerClassName><Action>Before hook on the list

So I'm trying to add the actionThemesExportBefore  hook - but it doesn't help, does anyone have an idea how to do it?

Any suggestion are most welcome.
Thank You

Hi.

No such controller exists and such a hook cannot be used.

You can add your code via override to ./src/PrestaShopBundle/Controller/Admin/Improve/Design/ThemeController.php => exportAction()

Hi,

I think a custom hook in PS will help. Below are 2 documentation links for your reference.

@Zohaib-fk

so can you give the exact procedure of the hook for this case?
I know, I'll answer straight away that you can't use any hook, but only create an override for ThemeController.php in the module 😉

Many beginner programmers need your help. Sharing links is not enough. Every one of them has already visited the Prestashop documentation and believe me, no one understands it. I have been programming for Prestashop for more than 10 years and the documentation has never helped me. If you do, we'd love your code samples.

That's the purpose of fàa, to help, not to copy links.

As @ps8moduly.cz said there is no hook. But AFAIK there is the option to use new symfony controller override/decoration procedure:

@JBW

yes, that's true, but for the less experienced, it's a daunting task.

I think the documentation has imroved a lot recently and indeed I was able to decorate controllers with this knowledge. If you need code I recommend the example modules:
