How to override Symfony controller/form/tpl

[Florian]

Hi everyone,

 

I would like to know how to override PS 1.7 symfony controllers. The old way /override/... makes no sense here.

I read this announcement http://build.prestashop.com/news/module-development-changes-in-17/#overrides-and-namespaces, but I still need to modify the product form (Form), the way it's handled (Controller) and the way it's rendered (twig template).

 

I tried the following, based on symfony standard way of override :

- created src/MyBundle/MyBundle.php with :

public function getParent(){
    return 'PrestaShopBundle';
  }

- added autoload in composer.json :

"autoload": {
        "psr-4": {
            "MyBundle\\": "src/MyBundle/", 

- registered in app/AppKernel.php : new MyBundle\MyBundle.php

- created MyBundle/Form/Admin/Product/ProductInformation.php (to override the form) with a missing } to trigger an error, to see if it's used

- created Resources/views/Admin/Product/form.html.twig (to override the template), empty, to see if it's used

 

But nothing.. I'm unable to override anything, without touching core code in src/PrestaShopBundle, which I don't want to do 

 

What is the good way?

 

For example, I'm trying to simply add new fields to the Form. I've overriden /classes/Product with my fields, so this part is OK. I would also need to change the admin catalog view to hide some products depending on Employee, and change columns labels+data

 

Thanks !!

Florian

 

PS: I would rather not use hookDisplayAdminProductsExtra because I want to be able to change anything on the page, not just some edit on the 4th tab

it's finally ok for templates, I had to app/console cache:clear, even if I were in debug mode, see warning in https://symfony.com/doc/2.7/templating/overriding.html

 

but {% extends '@PrestaShopBundle/Admin/Product/form.html.twig' %} doesn't work :

There are no registered paths for namespace "PrestaShopBundle" in "PrestaShopBundle:Admin\Product:form.html.twig" at line 1.

edit: Finally no need to extends because  there's no {block} to override, so I ended up with a whole copy/paste.

And for the controller, I did a hook for hookActionProductUpdate, where you can do $product = $params['product']; then modify it with $_POST and finally $product->save()
