How to create a controller?

[Watto]

Hi everyone. I'm fighting with Prestashop and its code (because there isn't a good documentation). I'm trying to program a controller. Not a module. A CONTROLLER.

 

You know that in Doc section there are few tutorials but they are very basic. I need an advanced information about Prestashop and its API, and how to create controllers.

 

So, thank you for your responses and help.

 

Bye, Gerardo.

to make a controller, first you need to know about how prestashop works, and to know it you have to fight the code, sorry for that

btw if you go through the frontcontrollercore class and start the entry with run method, you may know how it works and make a similar one by overriding the core.

 

hope it helps

Hello!

 

What kind of controller are you trying to make?

[Watto]

I'm programming a controller that search in Fotolia and shows the result, leting the user to choose an image an buy it.

 

I will try to create a Controller extending FrontControllerCore and I tell you if I success.

 

Thank you all.

This post is getting old, but if you still need help to do it feel free to ask.

 

I know you have to read Prestashop's code to understand how it works and it's pain in the ass, so I can probably save you precious time.
