[SOLVED] Adding buttons to the admin panel

[Ikoshop]

I need to add some buttons to trigger functions from my stock management module (currently in development). I'd like to put them in the backoffice, somewhere like here

I think I need a display hook, linked to a function which in turn calls the functions I want to trigger.

I also think I need to edit a tpl file in order to display the buttons.

 

Question: Which .tpl file should I be looking at editing for the products list screen in the back office?

And, assuming this is the proper procedure, how do I make it so that this .tpl file updates with the new buttons on a Prestashop installation?

I'm guessing there's some sort of override run from the module itself but I haven't figured out how that all works.

Have you read the documentation?

https://devdocs.prestashop-project.org/8/modules/sample-modules/order-pages-new-hooks/additional-action-buttons/

I've read everything I could but just can't find anything relating to the product list page in v 1.7

ps_mbo.php seems to have some of the content of that zone but I'm stuck on how to edit it

Hi,

Did you try the displayDashboardTop?

Best regards.

Hi,

I've tried both the displayDashboardToolbarTopMenu and displayDashboardToolbarIcons as per the guide here:

https://devdocs.prestashop-project.org/8/modules/concepts/hooks/use-hooks-on-modern-pages/#first-step-select-the-right-hook

But nothing works as described. In debug mode, the hook displayDashboardToolbarIcons is not listed as available at all, the hook displayDashboardToolbarTopMenu is listed as available but when registering it in a module and attaching a function, the function is not called and the hook is listed as not used by a module.

I've tried with version 8.2 as the guide is listed under version 8 of Prestashop.

I managed to get hookDisplayDashboardToolbarTopMenu working by forcing the hook to attach in the BO and filtering the view on the context->controller->controller_name

Hi,

Yes, that is the trick.

Best regards.
