Hi. I'm doing a module for PS 1.6.1.5 and after reading a lot of topics I'm getting a bit lost about the explanations to do customized backend pages. Default method (getContent()) works fine, but i want to do 2 or 3 pages for employees so there are needed a couple of controllers.
I have created successfully a menu item linking to a new controller and it gets executed.
First thing I don't fully understand is the difference between AdminController and ModuleAdminController.
Second thing I need is to show a custom tpl file for this controller.
class AdminMyCustomControllerController extends ModuleAdminController { //located at mymodule/controllers/admin/AdminMyCustomControllerController.php
public function __construct() {
$this->name = 'mycustomcontroller';
$this->version = '1.0.0';
$this->bootstrap = true;
$this->table = 'example'; //for now not using objectModel to save data
$this->className = 'AdminMyCustomController';
parent::__construct();
}
public function initContent() {
parent::initContent();
$smarty = $this->context->smarty;
$smarty->assign('test', 'test1');
$this->setTemplate('mytemplate.tpl');//located at mymodule/views/templates/admin/mytemplate.tpl
}
Debugging until a SmartyException (blank page shown):
"Unable to load template file 'C:\htdocs\rootFolder\adminblablabla/themes/default\template\mytemplate.tpl'"
Why it is looking for it at admin and not in myModule's?
Thank you.
