Help with Overrides

[drunkenmyno]

Hello ,

 

currently i developing a own module for prestashop, because i dont want to manually change code all the time if an update is coming.

 

i have some issue that i dont understand.

 

my module needs an extra comlumn in ps_category so i add them into the database then need to modify Category.php class file that i can access this column.

 

public $active_kml = 0;

 

and in the defintion array i add 

 

'active_kml' =>            array('type' => self::TYPE_BOOL, 'validate' => 'isBool', 'required' => true),

 

i already have an overide class in override/classes for Category.php but  it has all other contents of this file in.

 

Now my problem is. i cant use override class from my module folder and

 

if i put only

class CategoryCore extends ObjectModel
{
public $active_kml = 0;
	public static $definition = array(
		'table' => 'category',
		'primary' => 'id_category',
		'multilang' => true,
		'multilang_shop' => true,
		'fields' => array(
			'nleft' => 				array('type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'validate' => 'isUnsignedInt'),
			'nright' => 			array('type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'validate' => 'isUnsignedInt'),
			'level_depth' => 		array('type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'validate' => 'isUnsignedInt'),
			'active' => 			array('type' => self::TYPE_BOOL, 'validate' => 'isBool', 'required' => true),
			'active_kml' =>			array('type' => self::TYPE_BOOL, 'validate' => 'isBool', 'required' => true),
			'id_parent' => 			array('type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'validate' => 'isUnsignedInt'),
			'id_shop_default' => 	array('type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'validate' => 'isUnsignedId'),
			'is_root_category' => 	array('type' => self::TYPE_BOOL, 'validate' => 'isBool'),
			'position' => 			array('type' => self::TYPE_INT),
			'date_add' => 			array('type' => self::TYPE_DATE, 'validate' => 'isDate'),
			'date_upd' => 			array('type' => self::TYPE_DATE, 'validate' => 'isDate'),
			// Lang fields
			'name' => 				array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isCatalogName', 'required' => true, 'size' => 128),
			'link_rewrite' => 		array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isLinkRewrite', 'required' => true, 'size' => 128),
			'description' => 		array('type' => self::TYPE_HTML, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isCleanHtml'),
			'meta_title' => 		array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isGenericName', 'size' => 128),
			'meta_description' => 	array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isGenericName', 'size' => 255),
			'meta_keywords' => 		array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isGenericName', 'size' => 255),
		),
	);
}

inside the my Category.php my changes wont be added into this file ..

 

did i something wrong ?

 

i have read already about parent::

 

but i cannot use it in this way or?

 

any help would be great

Hi, you need to pu the file in a override/classes/ folder and your file should start like this:

class Category extends CategoryCore 
{
...

Thanks it works :-)) and override tpl files in themes folder is not possible or?

[PascalVG]

Yes,

tpl file can be in themes/<your theme folder>/modules/themoduleyouwantooverrideitstpl/modulename.tpl,

 

or if it is a 'core' tpl you want to override, like product.tpl:

in themes/<your theme folder>/product.tpl

 

 

My 2 cents,
