[SOLVED] Calling core classes to modules

[Levius]

There is this one error I've been stuck for hours of searching and trying to solve. This is the scenario I am in.

 

First is I created an override for the SearchCore and the SearchController which I placed in the override folder. I then created a module which I needs to access the search core and use one of the method inside, specifically the find() method. In that module I have created an instance of SearchCore. This is the code:

 

require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/../../override/classes/Search.php'); 

$filterQuery = new SearchCore;

 

I first used the method and it is working just fine. When I added a parameter in the method call, it has given me errors. The errors are Constant [variable] already defined and Cannot re-declare SearchCore. These are the codes I used:

 

Initially (working):

$search = $filterQuery->find($this->context->language->id, " ", $categories, $brands, $p, $n, $orderBy, $orderWay);

 

Modified (not working):

$search = $filterQuery->find($this->context->language->id, $query, $categories, $brands, $p, $n, $orderBy, $orderWay);

 

I anyone can atleast give me a foresight of what the problem is. Thanks in advance.

It isn't necessary to load override with require_once

just call in your module Search class somewhere without require_once override file.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

 

This may sound ridiculous but how can I do that? I am quite new in prestashop.

[vekia]

just remove require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/../../override/classes/Search.php'); 

and instead SearchCore use just new Search();

Wow! Thanks! That did the trick! Thanks again..
