Magento

mate you are a genius!

while writing the reply post i noticed that i forgot to put in the MyModule bit into the class name.. fix it and it works thanks a million!

i am slightly wondering what the direction in the checkout.xml are for now though (update handle), hence it works for me w/a any change pointing to my custom class in the checkout.xml at the moment… do you know why that is, or in what case i actually do need to update the handle?

since i am talking to the expert. do you also know in from top of your head how i would need to define the etc/local.xml file in order to achieve exactly this by not creating a custom module but simply overriding it?

thanks a lot, ralph

I know that this is a month old thread but I can’t find any other newer threads relating to overloading controllers.

I followed the directions in the tutorial Jonathan posted using my install of Magento, version 1.0.19870.1, and it was not working. This started driving me crazy, and then I tried adding the url rewrite directly to the database versus having it in the XML config file. I used the following code, taken from zburnham’s post earlier in this topic:

and then it worked!

Is there something outdated in the code used in Jonathan’s tutorial for editing the file /app/code/local/MyNameSpace/MyModule/etc/config.xml which would cause this not to work?

Also, when editing the file /app/etc/modules/MyNameSpace_All.xml where do the following code additions need to be placed within that file?

The tutorial does not mention specifically where this code should be entered in the file? I simply stuck it inside the <layout> and </layout> tags on it’s own and not nested inside any other tags. Is this correct? (it’s working for me this way but I just want to be sure)

Show us an example of your code and i will see if i can help.

For me it worked like this in 1.1.2.

in my config.xml file in the GLOBAL section i had this

Notice how the exact ‘action’ [shippingPost] has been overridden not the whole controller, for me when i tried to do it at the controller level it did not work well, but overriding a single action worked fine.

Ok, I’ll succeed.

In the ckeckout.xml, you need to name your node mynamespace_mymodule… and not only mymodule… to display layout.

Next step, I want to overload the add action fo the cartController.

So I tried this in config.xml

but it does not seem to work. I do not know if it take the second [removed]index method) or none cause the link is “http://magento.dev/index.php/checkout/cart/add/uenc/aHR0cDovL2xhdXJhc2ltLmRldi9pbmRleC5waHAvY2FydGUtc2ltLWxhdXJhc2ltLTNnLmh0bWw,/product/1/”

Could anyone help me on that ?

I think I’ll be prepared after this ^^

I used the following code, taken from zburnham’s post earlier in this topic:

INSERT INTO `core_url_rewrite` VALUES ('', 1, NULL, NULL, 'mymodule/1', 'checkout/cart', 'mymodule/checkout_cart', '', 0, NULL)

I added rewrite straight to admin panel Url Rewrite Management (worked, yay), but noticed that I can enable one rewrite just for one store view. Is there a way to make it concern all store views with one rewrite rule since I have several views now?

table fields:
id, store_id, category_id, product_id, id_path, request_path, target_path, is_system, options, description
