Practical Module development for Prestashop 8

Quick Overview of PrestaShop

Having set up PrestaShop (please see https://devdocs.prestashop-project.org/1.7/basics/installation/, if you haven’t) and used it, you may know the two main parts of it. As with other content management systems (CMSs) such as WordPress, there’s a public part unrestricted and visible by any visitor of your website named the Front Office (FO), and there’s a restricted part, only visible by employees with email and password authentication, called the Back Office (BO).

In this chapter, we will explain quickly how everything is designed, from the database to the core structure of the FO and the BO, and how they are linked.

In this chapter, we will cover the following main topics:

  • The data model—how and where data is stored
  • The core classes—how the Model-View-Controller (MVC) works

By the end of this chapter, you will know how the database is built, the types of tables, and how the core manages and manipulates entities. You will understand, from a high-level point of view, the MVC structure of FO and BO pages and how some BO pages are being migrated from the legacy-based core to a Symfony-based one.

Key benefits

  • Understand the data and object architecture of the legacy and new Symfony core of PrestaShop
  • Create modules to add features such as content blocks, payment options, and carriers to your store
  • Learn to customize themes and override existing module templates

Description

After version 1.7, PrestaShop underwent a host of changes, including migration to a Symfony-based system from an outdated legacy code. This migration brought about significant changes for developers, from routine maintenance to module development. Practical Module Development for PrestaShop 8 is curated to help you explore the system architecture, including migrated and non-migrated controllers, with a concise data structure overview. You’ll understand how hooks enable module customization and optimize the CMS. Through the creation of seven modules, you’ll learn about the structure of modules, hook registration, the creation of front-office controllers, and Symfony back-office controllers. By using Doctrine entities, services, CQRS, grids, and forms, you’ll be guided through the creation of standard, payment and carrier modules. Additionally, you'll customize and override themes to achieve your desired e-commerce store look. By the end of this book, you’ll be well equipped to provide modern solutions with PrestaShop that meet client requirements.

Who is this book for?

If you are a junior or advanced PHP developer already using PrestaShop as a simple user willing to know more or to solve online sellers' problems by creating modules as a professional, this book is definitely for you. In order to learn from this book, you should have a basic knowledge of the Symfony framework. This book will be a really good help for the module developers expecting to move from the old legacy environment to the modern one. Other CMS developers can use that book as a tool to compare and move to PrestaShop.

  • Explore hooks and their functions
  • Create a hello world module
  • Build modules to display blocks in the front office with different styles

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
