I implemented a Prestashop module for Payment
beside of my main Module I generated a ModuleFrontController , which work fine and I have access on it by using URL like mydomain.com/module/controllers/mymethod
The problem is I would like to execute this method from my main module class / a simple php file
But I can not find a solution for that yet.
Note :
I Can not use CURL / open_socket
I can not call this URL from an Ajax
Simply I want to make an instance of my FrontController and call a method
Any Idea?
Thx
Include that controller file where you want to use and create instance of class and call desired method on that
FrontController define like this :
class ModulenameControllernameModuleFrontController extends ModuleFrontController
{
...
}
and make didn't accept like normal instance to call $obj = new Classname()
,... or when some how make an instance , wasn't work well. was missing some parameters in $this->context->XXX
Any way my problem solve some have different without need to make an instance .
But I think should be another way like how Cron execute
Ex. for Cron can send parameter like :
$_GET['fc'] = 'module';
$_GET['module'] = 'modulename';
$_GET['controller'] = 'controllername';
,....
Some how to call FrontController , independently

I am using Yii2 and want to create a attribute and access this attribute in every where in my project for exp:
Yii::$app->name
Above is an example of yii2 default name.
Is there any way to declare my custom attribute as following :
Yii::$app->supportname
You can extend Application class, add required properties, and use it on bootstrap.
Create class for web:
class MyApplication extends \yii\web\Application {
public $supportname;
}
And use it in index.php:
(new MyApplication($config))->run();
You need to do the same for \yii\console\Application and yii script.
But probably the best way is to use Application::$params and access value by Yii::$app->params['supportname'].
I'm trying to figure out the best way to load a class into PrestaShop that I can use on overriding controllers.
I started off by creating a module that has an override of the Controller class with my files required at the top. Is there a better way to do this?
If you do not want to put class to override folder you can change class_index.php
Who add minus it is his problem but I'm right. If you do not want to use override folder you can set module folder with class
'SomeClass' =>
array (
'path' => 'modules/yourmodulename/class/class_name.php',
It is not normal but you can override without using override folder in particular circumstance.
And if you will read with carfull you will see: If you do not want to put class to override folder
EDITED 2015/10/19
It is craizy to add minus for what you do not know.
1) First look to PrestaShopAutoload class
2) all your class paths in array in the public $index in PrestaShopAutoload
3) what you need to do? just change this array
4) how to change this array? in your module you can get this instance using this PrestaShopAutoload::getInstance()
5) after you got instance you have full controll of your class paths!!! and you can add eny path what you need
6) what we need now? just make our module work maximum befour other class used. How we can do? Just hook in dispacher.
I am developing a social networking website using Yii. While frequently using the following things I am having great data manageability issue.
- User ID
- Current user ID (the user which profile is the owner viewing)
- Is owner???
where can I define these things.
I would something like
if(Yii::app()->owner==ME){
//do something
}
// and similarly
if($this->isMyFreind(<Current user ID>){
}
// $this(CanIView()){
}
I want these functions to be public for any page? But how?
In other words
Where can I put my library which contains my own favorite functions like text shortening, image cropping, date time format etc etc??
In Yii, you can do achieve this by making a class (under protected/compoents) which inherits
CApplicationComponent
class. And then you call any property of this class globally as a component.
class GlobalDef extends CApplicationComponent {
public $aglobalvar;
}
Define this class in main config under components as:
'globaldef' => array('class' => 'application.components.GlobalDef '),
And you can call like this:
echo Yii::app()->globaldef->aglobalvar;
Hope that can help.
According to the MVC model, things like image cropping or date time formats would go in models. You would simply create models for that.
I usually use a globals.php file with all my common functions
In the index.php (yip the one in the root):
$globals='protected/globals.php';
require_once($globals);
I can then call my global functions anywhere. For example, I shorten certain Yii functions like:
function bu($url=null){
static $baseUrl;
if ($baseUrl===null)
$baseUrl=Yii::app()->request->baseUrl;
return $url===null ? $baseUrl : $baseUrl.'/'.ltrim($url,'/');
}
So I can then call the Yii::app()->request->baseUrl by simply calling bu()

In Yii, Is it OK to override the login method of CWebUser?
The reason i want to do this is because the comments in the source code stated that the changeIdentity method can be overridden by child classes but because i want to send more parameters to this method i was thinking of overriding the login method too (of CWebUser).
Also if that isn't such a good idea how do you send the extra parameters into the changeIdentity method.(By retrieving it from the $states argument somehow ??). The extra parameters are newly defined properties of UserIdentity class.
It is better to first try to do what you wish to do by overriding components/UserIdentity.php's authenticate method. In fact, that is necessary to implement any security system more advanced than the default demo and admin logins it starts you with.
In that method, you can use
$this->setState('myVar', 5);
and then access that anywhere in the web app like so:
Yii::app()->user->getState('myVar');
If myVar is not defined, that method will return null by default. Otherwise it will return whatever it was stored as, in my example, 5. These values are stored in the $_SESSION variable, so they persist as long as the session does.
UPDATE: Okay, took the time to learn how this whole mess works in Yii for another answer, so I'm sharing my findings here as well. The below is mostly copy pasted from a similar answer I just gave elsewhere. This is tested as working and persisting from page to page on my system.
You need to extend the CWebUser class to achieve the results you want.
class WebUser extends CWebUser{
protected $_myVar = 'myvar_default';
public function getMyVar(){
$myVar = Yii::app()->user->getState('myVar');
return (null!==$myVar)?$myVar:$this->_myVar;
}
public function setMyVar($value){
Yii::app()->user->setState('myVar', $value);
}
}
You can then assign and recall the myVar attribute by using Yii::app()->user->myVar.
Place the above class in components/WebUser.php, or anywhere that it will be loaded or autoloaded.
Change your config file to use your new WebUser class and you should be all set.
'components'=>
'user'=>array(
'class'=>'WebUser',
),
...
),
Drupal has a function called "drupal_is_front_page". Does YII have something similar to deal with navigation in this way?
Unfortunately not. And while the information needed to piece this together is available, doing so is really more pain than it should be.
To begin with, the front page is defined by the CWebApplication::defaultController property, which can be configured as discussed in the definitive guide. But there's a big issue here: defaultController can in reality be any of the following:
a bare controller name, e.g. site
a module/controller pair, e.g. module/site
a controller/action pair, e.g. site/index
a module/controller/action tuple, e.g. module/site/index
If you have specified the defaultController as #4 (which is the same as #3 if your application does not include any modules) then everything is easy:
function is_home_page() {
$app = Yii::app();
return $app->controller->route == $app->defaultController;
}
The problem is that if defaultController is specified as #1 or #2 then you have to examine a lot of the runtime information to convert it to form #3 or #4 (as appropriate) so that you can then run the equality check.
Yii of course already includes code that can do this: the CWebApplication::createController method, which can accept any of the valid formats for defaultController and resolve that to a controller/action pair (where controller is dependent on the module, if applicable). But looking at the source doesn't make you smile in anticipation.
To sum it up: you can either assume that defaultController will always be fully specified and get the job done with one line of code, or borrow code from createController to determine exactly what defaultController points to (and then use the one line of code to check for equality).
I do not recommend looking into solutions based on URLs because the whole point of routes is that different URLs can point to the same content -- if you go that way, can never be sure that you have the correct result.
In my experience, there is no such function in Yii. However, you can retrieve the followings:
base url: Yii::app()->request->baseUrl
current URL : Yii::app()->request->requestUri.
current page controller with Yii::app()->getController()->getAction()->controller->id .
With these APIs, it should be possible to find out whether the current page is front page.
another simple idea:
in your action (that one you use to present your 'main front page'), you could set up a variable using a script in its view:
Yii::app()->getClientScript()->registerScript("main_screen",
"var main_front_page = true;",CClientScript::POS_BEGIN);
put that code in the "main view", (the rest view pages dont have this piece of code).
so when you need to check if a page is the "main page" you could check for it using javascript, quering for:
if(main_front_page){..do something..}.
if you need to recognize the main page in php (in server side), use the method proposed by Jon.
another solution, based on a common method for your controller:
Your controllers all of them must extend from CController, but, when you build a new fresh yii application Gii creates a base Controller on /protected/components/Controller.php so all your controllers derives from it.
So, put a main attribute on it, named:
<?php
class Controller extends CController {
public $is_main_front_page;
public function setMainFrontPage(){ $this->is_main_front_page = true; }
public function getIsMainFrontPage(){ returns $this->is_main_front_page==true; }
}
?>
well, when you render your main front page action, set up this core varible to true:
<?php
class YoursController extends Controller {
public function actionPrimaryPage(){
$this->setMainFrontPage();
$this->render('primarypage');
}
public function actionSecondaryPage(){
$this->render('secondarypage');
}
}
next, in any view, you could check for it:
<?php // views/yours/primaryview.php
echo "<h1>Main Page</h1>";
echo "is primary ? ".$this->getIsMainFrontPage(); // must say: "is primary ? true"
?>
<?php // views/yours/secondaryview.php
echo "<h1>Secondary Page</h1>";
echo "is primary ? ".$this->getIsMainFrontPage(); // must say: "is primary ? false"
?>
