[SOLVED] Override blocklayered.php

[prestatent]

Prestashop 1.5.4.1 on windows 7 running on localhost.

 

Hi

 

I need to override blocklayered.php. Where should I place the overrride code. It does not work when placed in the themes module directory. Should the override module be placed in a modules folder in the overrrides directory?

 

Thanks for any help.

 

Regards

David

Hi, I haven't tried this but my 'guess' is that you would place the override in

 

override/classes/module

Hi El Patron

 

Have just tried this but no joy. I only copied blocklayered.php to override/classes/module.

 

I also copied to override/classes/module/blocklayered to try, but again no joy.

 

I've looked at documentation on this, but any mention of overrides only relates to the the .tpl files and not the actual .php files for modules.

 

Thanks

Update.

 

Do to there being a lack of documentation on this subject (none that I can find anyway), I have had to update the core blocklayered.php file to get the result I'm looking for. I'm a bit disappointed that there isn't a standard way to override modules in the same way as for classes and controllers.

I have the same problem, and I'm quite as disappointed as you..

Also, in this case the documentation is not good, as you said.

Thanks El Patron. However, there is still not a standard way to override modules. Looking at the post you have to clone a module and rename all references to it. Not exactly ideal but I suppose it will have to do.

 

Thanks.
