Redirect from hooked TPL to module TPL

[NXJeff]

Hello,

 

I am developing a module, to make the my-account have an additional menu item at the user's my-account page, called 'Manage Machine IDs'. 

 

my-account-hook.tpl

 

<!-- Block woi-my-account-hook -->

<a class="col-lg-4 col-md-6 col-sm-6 col-xs-12" id="returns-link" href="{$urls.pages.order_follow}">

<span class="link-item">

<i class="material-icons"></i>

{l s='Manage Machine IDs' d='Shop.Theme.CustomerAccount'}

</span>

</a>

<!-- Block woi-my-account-hook -->

 

I have make it shown by using displayCustomerAccount hook and it went well. But for the href (highlighted in red), I do not know how to point it to my module page.

 

 

 

 

Next step would be linking the menu item to my module's page, I created a tpl and controller but i have no idea how to access my module page from the my-account-hook.tpl.

 

mymodule/controllers/front/customer/

          |_________ ManageMachinesController.php

mymodule/views/templates/front/customer/

          |_________ manage-machines.tpl

 

ManageMachinesController.php

 

<?php

class ManageMachinesControllerCore extends ModuleFrontController

{

public $auth = true;

public $php_self = 'my-machines';

public $authRedirection = 'my-machines';

public $ssl = true;

public function initContent()

{

parent::initContent();

$this->setTemplate('manage-machines.tpl');

}

}

 

manage-machines.tpl

 

<h2>hello</h2>

 

I have no idea how to point the href in the my-account-hook.tpl to manage-machines.tpl.

 

Can anyone suggest me on this?

 

Thank you.

You would use the getModuleLink function of the Link class to get the URL to your controller

$this->context->link->getModuleLink('mymodule', 'ManageMachines', null, true);

Also, I believe you have the layout of your controller and template file wrong.  Put the controller in /front/ and the name the file properly (the file name should match the controller name, and I would use all lowercase)

 

mymodule/controllers/front/

          |_________ managemachines.php

 

mymodule/views/templates/front/

          |_________ manage-machines.tpl

Hello bellini13, thank you for helping me up, end up using same name does not solve my problem. The controller name that required from the prestashop is something like mymoduleManageMachinesFrontModuleController which is really weird to me.

 

Since my customisation seems to be easier to do it by modifying the existing classes directly, i will give it a try instead of create a module that do alot of overriding, as this is just for a client.

 

Anyway, thanks alot for helping up, really appreciate that!
