Prestashop 1.6 - php into admin override tpl

Question

Just wanted to include a custom php file into an override template I've made but when I use:

{php} include('custom_code.php'); {/php}

or:

{include_php file='../../../../../../panel/update.php'}

The page crashes. Prestashop is so hard to modify.

Answer 1

I have solved the issue creating a plugin for smarty in the directory

/tools/smarty/plugins

with the file name

function.update_customer.php

. then i pute the code in my template .tpl with this shortcode hook

{update_customer}

. Hope that helps in the future...
