Calling new controller from admin

English forums

Hello everyone.

I am trying to call a new controller from order_package_list.tpl file like this:

  <form class="js-oxValidate" name="fertig" action="index.php?force_admin_sid=siccb6fc2adu8mcuidsejolre3&stoken=4F66373A&cl=fertig&fnc=fertig_gepacht" method="post" role="form" novalidate="novalidate">
      [{$oViewConf->getHiddenSid()}]
      <input type="hidden" name="cl" value="fertig">
      <input type="hidden" name="fnc" value="fertig_gepacht">
      <input type="hidden" name="ordernr" value="[{ $order->oxorder__oxordernr->value}]">
      <input type="submit" value="Fertig gepackt!">
  </form>

This is how my controller looks like in application/controller/admin/fertig.php:
class fertig extends oxAdminDetails
{

/**
 * Executes parent method parent::render(), fetches order info from DB,
 * passes it to Smarty engine and returns name of template file.
 * "order_package.tpl"
 *
 * @return string
 */


public function fertig_gepacht(){

    // $fertig = oxNew('fertig');
    //$fertig -> update_order();



    $myConfig = $this->getConfig();
    parent::render();

    $aOrders = oxNew('oxlist');
    $aOrders->init('oxorder');
    $sSql = "select * from oxorder where oxorder.oxsenddate = '0000-00-00 00:00:00' and oxorder.oxshopid = '" .
        $myConfig->getShopId() . "' order by oxorder.oxorderdate asc limit 5000";
    $aOrders->selectString($sSql);

    $this->_aViewData['resultset'] = $aOrders;

    return "order_package.tpl";
}

}

Problem is that I am getting front page of the shop :confused:

check your exception log.
I’m not sure abould older oxid versions, but in new versions templates are only rendered if returned by the render() function, while other functions cause a redirect.
Basically, i think you are redirecting the user to controller “order_package.tpl” which does not exist.
It the exception message confirms that, you will have to add a proper render() function, like in all the other controllers.

I am running shop version 4.10 on localhost xampp. How can view exception logs?

I am new to oxid. I am trying to use the same function written in another admin controller, so order_package.tpl does exist.

I have changed order_package_list.tpl to

<form class="js-oxValidate" name="fertig" action="index.php?force_admin_sid=siccb6fc2adu8mcuidsejolre3&stoken=4F66373A&cl=fertig" method="post" role="form" novalidate="novalidate"

and fertig.php controller to:

class Fertig extends oxAdminDetails
{

/**
 * Executes parent method parent::render(), fetches order info from DB,
 * passes it to Smarty engine and returns name of template file.
 * "order_package.tpl"
 *
 * @return string
 */
public function render()
{


    $myConfig = $this->getConfig();
    parent::render();

    $aOrders = oxNew('oxlist');
    $aOrders->init('oxorder');
    $sSql = "select * from oxorder where oxorder.oxsenddate = '0000-00-00 00:00:00' and oxorder.oxshopid = '" .
        $myConfig->getShopId() . "' order by oxorder.oxorderdate asc limit 5000";
    $aOrders->selectString($sSql);

    $this->_aViewData['resultset'] = $aOrders;

    return "order_package.tpl";
}

}

But it is not going to render function now. I checked with debugger.

What will be the correct way to call the render function from tpl file?

#6

Please read the Module Documentation Module resources — OXID eShop developer documentation 6.1.0 documentation

You have to make the controller known via a module.

#7

I am using oxid version 4.10.2. Do i need to use module in this version aswell?

#8

Not sure.

You can orientate yourself on my blog article series for the OXID eShop series 4.8, this comes closest to your version.

A lot has changed from Series 6 onwards.

You could have my articles translated into English.

You don’t need to call a render function. Variables are set in this method to get them in the View: $this->_aViewData[‘resultset’] = ;

#10

Why do i need to use modules, if i can do some database queries by making new controllers and calling them?

#11

Thanks for your reply.

I dont need get variable in view right now. I just want to pass a variable to module and update database value
Something like :
UPDATE oxorder SET OXFOLDER = ‘ORDERFOLDER_FINISHED’ WHERE OXORDERNR = current order nr;

#12

For testing you don’t need a module. You can copy your file to

application/controllers/admin

and call it like the others in admin.

You can do this too. Then you have to use getRequestParameter(‘ordernr’); to work with

#13

Thanks for your reply. It is very helpful.

My question is that since I am able to do what I want to without using module.
Then what is the need to create a module?

#14

Download the demo:

In metadata.php add something like this:

'files' => array(
		'fertig' => 'modulfolder/modulename/controllers/admin/fertig.php'
		),

and copy your file in this folder.

Thank you for your answers. I will read more about module development.
