How do i force a redirect after installing my module

[danielmoreira]

Hi,

 

I am developing a module for prestashop.

 

I would like my module to redirect to a admin controller i created once i install the module.

 

By default, if a module has a configuration page generated by the getContent method, it will redirect to this page when the module installed. I want my module to redirect to a different page.

 

Does anyone know how to do this?

 

Thanks for your attention

This is exactly what i was looking for.

 

Thanks a lot!

I do that in one of mines.

I first declare and leave empty the getContent() method (module main file) :

public function getContent() {}

This will force PrestaShop to display the "configure" button.

Then i plug the module on the "actionDispatcher" hook and add the following code (example) in the hookActionDispatcher() méthod :

public function hookActionDispatcher($args)
{
	if (defined('_PS_ADMIN_DIR_')) {
		if (isset($args['controller_class']) && $args['controller_class'] == 'AdminModulesController') {
			if (Tools::getValue('configure') == '_your_module_name_') {
				$link = new Link();
				Tools::redirectAdmin($link->getAdminLink('_your_controller_tab_name_'));
			}
		}
	}
}

		}
	}
}

Hi kimokimo,

If you have a look on the code i posted i'm sure you gonna find the line that does the redirect, please.
But i'm not sure PrestaShop, addons i mean if your goal is to sell your module on addons, would let  you redirect people to another location after module install...

hi Yann,

actually i have tried but it didn't work, i have tried doing this code 

       return (parent::install() && this.hookActionDispatcher() );
    }
    public function getContent() {}

    public function hookActionDispatcher()
    {
                    $link = new Link();
                    Tools::redirect('https://mywebsite.com');
    }

but it didn't work unfortunatly, could you help ?

i also tried this code to redirect 

        return (parent::install() && this.header('location: http://www.mysite.com/index.php?pop=yes') );

still no chance

No hook need^^

public function getContent() {
    Tools::redirectAdmin($this->context->link->getAdminLink('_your_controller_tab_name_'));
}
