How to add a code snippet in a controller function?

[IeM]

Hi,

Just wounding if a code snippet can be added to a controller class function without overriding the whole function?

 

Example:

I need to add a line of code after a New Customer object has been created and authenticated in AuthControllerCore->processSubmittLogin() 

 

I'm assuming that I have to copy the entire function to a Class override to do this but am not 100% sure and am hoping that there is another way without adding it to the actual core file its self.

 

Thanks

yes, copy & override is best solution in prestashop

Thanks taydotech123, I was thinking that was the case.

Depending on what modification you want to add, you can also use actionAuthentication hook, which is called after the context is created.

Thanks cristic,

It is basically to set some session vars with details generated from the login so that could in dead be viable.

Usually, my order of changes are as follows:

1. Prestashop settings (standard or modules);

2. Hooks;

3. Overrides;

4. Core files modifications
