Hi, I read your posts about creating new module, but what I want to do I didn’t find can you help me?
I want to create functionality which will call from My account(f.e. event link from left menu) then I want creat a form for new event (f.e. title description and date) and I want to save it to database. Can you help me I don’t know how to do it from frontend. which class extended need to use. write please if can to my email
You need to override and extend customer module. Here is some hits.
1. Create new customer module in local pool.
2. Override Account controller (Mage_Customer_AccountController) and write your new method. For this see CONTROLLER OVERRIDE post.
3. Create block for your new method and override your new block. For this see BLOCK OVERRIDE post.
4. Define layout xml for new method.
5. Create template.
6. To set this page in My Account left navigation var add like below code in customer_account tag under customer layout xml.
<customer_account> <reference name="left"> <block type="customer/account_navigation" name="customer_account_navigation" before="-" template="customer/account/navigation.phtml"> <action method="addLink" translate="label" module="customer"><name>account_view</name><path>customer/account/view/</path><label>Account Details</label></action> </block> </customer_account>7. To save data in database create post method in controller and use $customer->save(); to update customer profile. Or do as you need.
Hope it will make sense. You have to try hard. If you still face problem let me know.

Hi Moinul and many thanks for your enlightment in Magento darkness.
Could you please precise if a minimum version of Magento is expected to follow your “how to override a controller” step-by-step post ?
’cause I’m experiencing many trouble with my good old 1.1.8 … (trying to override the cart Controller in order to automatically add a free product)
Many thanks once again for your blog !
E. Catrysse
E. Catrysse, You can try using this.
<global> <rewrite> <m4u_checkout_onepage_savepayment> <from><![CDATA[#^/checkout/#]]></from> <to>/checkout/onepage/savePayment</to> </m4u_checkout_onepage_savepayment> </rewrite> </global> <frontend> <routers> <m4u_checkout> <use>standard</use> <args> <module>m4u_Checkout</module> <frontName>checkout</frontName> </args> </m4u_checkout> </routers> </frontend>You have to mention all rewrite method in global xml
<m4u_checkout_cart_#####> <from><![CDATA[#^/checkout/#]]></from> <to>/checkout/cart/#####</to> </m4u_checkout_cart_#####>Thank you for your quick and kind reply but this doesn’t work with me…
/freegift/checkout/cart/delete/
…
standard
Pepper_Freegift
freegift
…still leads me to 404 empty page…
My overriding method seems correct yet:
require_once ‘Mage/Checkout/controllers/CartController.php’;
class Pepper_Freegift_Checkout_CartController extends Mage_Checkout_CartController
{
…
}
I’m starting to think myself not Magento-compatible…

hi Moinul,
u know how to override Mage_Core_Block_Template?
hlp me if you know how please…
I like this post:
http://magento4u.wordpress.com/tag/cms-index-controller-override/
but how do i override the template as well.
i am trying to do that for the index action but it doesnt seem to work.
Hello, There are no way to override template. But you can create new theme to modify your template files. or you can create new template files by point that in layout xml.

I’m trying to override app/code/Mage/Customer/Block/Account/Dashboard/Address.php
I made /app/code/local/Easydelivery/etc/config.xml:
0.1.0
Easydelivery_Customer_Block_Account_Dashboard_Address
———————–
I made
/app/etc/modules/Easydelivery_Customer.xml:
true
local
——————————————-
And then finally
/app/code/local/Easydelivery/Customer/Block/Account/Dashboard/Address.php:
class Easydelivery_Customer_Block_Account_Dashboard_Address extends Mage_Customer_Block_Account_Dashboard_Address
{
// override existing method
//write new function
public function getPrimaryBillingAddressEditUrl()
{
return Mage::getUrl(‘customer/address/edit1′, array(‘id’=>$this->getCustomer()->getDefaultBilling()));
}
It has to change
return Mage::getUrl(‘customer/address/edit’
to
return Mage::getUrl(‘customer/address/edit1′,
But the link won’t change!
Can you help me?
Hi, great site!! Been very helpful already, thanks – definitely one of the best resources out there.
Just wondering if you can help me work this one out – I’m trying to fire off a POST query to another domain using fsockopen() when the customer completes an order.
My fsockopen code works fine outside of Magento, but I can’t work out the best place to put it in the flow of the app to make it work, plus I need to access some of the order variables to send them as part of the POST query.
Could you point me in the right direction by any chance?
Thanks,
Rich
Hi Rich,

Hi Moinul,
I’m trying to split up a cart so that when my user checks out, only some of the items are saved, and some are checked out. My thread about it is here: http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/210032/
I have some items that when they come into the cart, need to be checked out, and processed immediately bypassing the cart and the checkout. Then there are other products that can be saved in the cart. I have all that working. What I am having trouble with is when the user has items in the cart, and they select an item that needs immediate checkout, I want to be able to just check out that item and save the other stuff in the cart for when they are ready to checkout. I can go through the quote and remove everything that doesn’t need immediate checkout, and checkout the item I need, but then the cart is empty and those items are lost…
Is there a way to back up the quote, or save it, and then after I check out the immediate checkout item, reload or restore the entire quote, remove the item I already checked out, and save the cart?
I have been trying that with no success…
Any ideas? Can you help?
Thanks!
