Override Prestashop MyAccountController

I try to create override MyAccountController

class MyAccountController extends MyAccountControllerCore
{
    public function init()
    {
        parent::init();

        if ($module = Module::getInstanceByName('my_module')) {
            $urls = $module->getData();

            Tools::redirect($urls['redirect']);
        }
    }
}

I saved this file in override/controllers/front folder.

After some tests, it does not work. My redirection is not called.

But when I set to true the variable _PS_DEBUG_PROFILING_, the redirect is well captured by the profiler.

My Prestashop instance is clean. No modules or files are installed.

Prestashop version : 1.7.8.7

Solution

  • After place your controller in override, you need to rebuild the class index. This is the file:

    var/cache/prod/class_index.php

    Just remove that file, it will be created again, taking in account your override.

    Note: /prod/ because of production environment.
