How to add new tab in back office that link to an action in the controller

[ahmed_Rabii]

Hi Guys,

Since Prestashop 1.7.5 allow the usage of Symfony controllers and routing : https://devdocs.prestashop.com/1.7/modules/concepts/controllers/admin-controllers/.

My problem now is to link the controller action to a tab in the back office, unfortunately the Prestashop  docs does not really help in this area:   https://devdocs.prestashop.com/1.7/modules/concepts/controllers/admin-controllers/tabs/.

If any one has crossed this problem and has any kind of a solution i would really appreciate the help.

It only work if you declare _legacy_controller and _legacy_link options in you config.yml like https://github.com/PrestaShop/ps_linklist/blob/master/config/routes.yml

i just used the Prestashop tabs with redirect:

Prestashop Controller: mymodule\controllers\admin\AdminMyModuleConfigController.php

use PrestaShop\PrestaShop\Adapter\SymfonyContainer;

class AdminMyModuleConfigController extends ModuleAdminController
{
    public function init()
    {
        $sfContainer = SymfonyContainer::getInstance();
        if (!is_null($sfContainer)) {
            $sfRouter = $sfContainer->get('router');
            Tools::redirectAdmin($sfRouter->generate('edit_mymodule_config'));
        }
    }
}

Module Class: mymodule\mymodule.php

public $tabs = array(
        array(
            'name' => 'Configure',
            'class_name' => 'AdminMyModuleConfig',
            'visible' => true,
            'parent_class_name' => 'AdminMyModuleParent',
        )
    );
