Does anybody have any ideas?

Old topic, but for others, you need to use

$this->module->l

 

instead of

$this->l

You can't create a form with the Helper in the Front Controller like in the Admin Controller.

You have to do it the old way, with the template and everything.

If you check the ModuleFrontController class and the FrontController class, you can see that their construct is very different from yours.

 

The Helper is only for BackOffice

And in the FrontController, you can do a function like this :

protected function l($string)
    {
        return Translate::getModuleTranslation('name_module', $string, 'name_front_controller');

    }

 

And then $this->l()

All the errors you get is because all the functions and properties you are calling don't exist in the FrontController, only in the AdminController.

 

But maybe in future versions of Prestashop it will be possible with the integration of Symfony
