Custom ModuleAdminController

[Kerel]

Hi,

 

I have a module which displays table in DisplayAdminProductsExtra hook, and there are links to another controller extending ModuleAdminController.

 

Controller is in my_module/controllers/admin/

 

link is: index.php?controller=AdminDetailSpecificationTables

 

It didn't work for first time - but I've created link to the menu tab and now it works (strange)

 

However, controller is loaded, but not template.

 

When I use $this->setTemplate('display.tpl'); and my template is in my_module/views/templates/admin/display.tpl

 

It showss me this error:

Unable to load template file 'D:\wamp\www\xxx\adminyyyy/themes/default\template\display.tpl'

 

which is a little bit strange, url is broken. I am getting frustrated.

 

If you could help, I would really appreciate it

 

Thanks!

bump?

[Kerel]

Thanks so much!!! 

 

Have to find correct folder: detail_specification_tables instead of detailspecificationtables

Also don't understand why it should be my_module/views/templates/admin/my_module, theres nothing about it in the documentation.

Documentation sucks very badly - why prestashop doesn't have documentation like wordpress?

 

Really, thanks so much! I was quite depressed with this, struggling few hours.

i overrided the method createTemplate($template)

 public function __construct() {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->template = 'displayAdmin.tpl';
    }

    
    
    
    public function createTemplate($tpl_name) {
        // Use override tpl if it exists
        // If view access is denied, we want to use the default template that will be used to display an error
        if ($this->viewAccess() && $this->override_folder) {
            if (file_exists($this->context->smarty->getTemplateDir(1) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $this->override_folder . $tpl_name))
                return $this->context->smarty->createTemplate($this->override_folder . $tpl_name, $this->context->smarty);
            elseif (file_exists($this->context->smarty->getTemplateDir(0) . 'controllers' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $this->override_folder . $tpl_name))
                return $this->context->smarty->createTemplate('controllers' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $this->override_folder . $tpl_name, $this->context->smarty);
        }
        return $this->context->smarty->createTemplate(_PS_MODULE_DIR_.'symstick\views\templates\admin\symstick/'. $tpl_name, $this->context->smarty);

Just bumbed in to this via search. 

Old post I know, but if anyone gets here this might help him/her

I use

class MyModuleModuleFrontController extends ModuleFrontController
{
        /* Conctructor of the controller */
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
    }

    public function initContent()
    {
        parent::initContent();
        // possible variables you want to use in tpl
        $this->context->smarty->assign(
            array(
                'var1' => $var1,
                'var2' => $var2,
            )
        );

        if (version_compare(_PS_VERSION_, '1.7.0.0 ', '<')) {
          	// must be in folder modulename/views/templates/front/
            return $this->setTemplate('front16.tpl');
        } else {
	        // must be in folder modulename/views/templates/front/
            $this->setTemplate('module:MyModule/views/templates/front/front17.tpl');
        }
    }
}

Replace MyModule with your module name, variables, filename etc.

Hi, I have an almost similar error on a module. the site is on PS 8.02. 

The module is a Media manager so it is possible to open and manage the CMS folder (like in a CMS page when adding a picture or so).

 

Compile Error: Declaration of AdvancedMediaManagerController::setMedia() must be compatible with AdminControllerCore::setMedia($isNewTheme = false)

Symfony\Component\ErrorHandler\Error\FatalError

in modules/mediamanagerpro/controllers/admin/MediaManagerPro.php (line 27)

*/

class AdvancedMediaManagerController extends ModuleAdminController

{

    public function __construct()

    {

        $this->bootstrap = true;

        parent::__construct();

 

This is the MediaManagerPro.php file in the MediaManager module: 

class AdvancedMediaManagerController extends ModuleAdminController
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->bootstrap = true;
        parent::__construct();
    }
    
    public function initContent()
    {
        parent::initContent();
    }
    
    public function setMedia()
    {
        parent::setMedia();
    }
    
    public function initPageHeaderToolbar()
    {
        parent::initPageHeaderToolbar();
    }
}

 

Thanks for you help

Hi @JLCH

Your problem is that in the child class (AdvancedMediaManagerController), in the setMedia method, you are not adding the expected $isNewTheme = false argument, which is present in the parent class, as you can see here

You can either completely remove the setMedia method from the child class (and most of the others), as it is only calling the method in the parent class, or you can replace the code from

public function setMedia()
{
    parent::setMedia();
}

to

public function setMedia($isNewTheme = false)
{
    parent::setMedia($isNewTheme);
}
