[PS 8] Javascript components are not working on my Grid

[rreimche]

I have started writing about my problem yesterday here and here but then I have realized that it is all one problem: UI-elements that require events bound to some consecutive actions are not working:

• reset button in my filter is not working
• pagination selection (how many items to show per page) is not working
• sorting is not working

In every case "not working" means that nothing happens when I click on a UI element. At the same time, this grid is built using the basic official manual (it uses common controllers for search and reset) and I have already rechecked things twice -- my code seems fine and it doesnt seem to be the case that I must enable these controls somehow.

I'd really appreciate any ideas on how can I debug this (and I am new to Prestashop and relatively new to Symfony).

Thank you in advance.

OK, I have found this tutorial page about enabling javascript extensions. I appears that the basic grid tutorial missed the point that we must enable the javascript functionality of the grid. And this is described on a paged named "Extent a grid with javascript extensions", which gives me an idea of this page telling me something extending the basics. OK, good that I've found it out. As soon as I added one of the template snippets mentioned there, my pagination setting started working. I am going to adapt this javascript extension manual to my case of writing a module a module to enable other parts (the tutorial seems to be thought for a theme) .

I have found this topic with a detailed explanation of a solution. I want to apply it now with one slight difference: the explanation links a repository from which we should download some files, but it is a repo for PS >= 9, but it has this branch for earlier versions, where we also can find the files.
