Overriding in module not working in prestashop - prestashop-1.6

I am new to prestashop and developing a module to change behaviour of checkout process. As i am new, i am first overriding IndexController.php file in my module directory to just test the overriding mechanism in prestashop. The directory structure, i have followed, to override controller file as:
modules/my_modules/override/controllers/front/IndexController.php
Below is the code of above file:
class IndexController extends IndexControllerCore{
public function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
d('You are overriding index file');
}
}
In above code, i have just created an construct and print a test string with die. But nothing is happening on the home page on front end. I have also tried with override another controller file, but i have got same result.
I have searched many things on google, but nothing got. Please anyone tell me, what i am doing wrong in this? if the logic is correct, then why overriding is not working here?
Waiting for solution.

Like #rsanchez said. You need to reinstall the module everytime you change your module's overrides. Prestashop will not automatically check for new changes or new overrides without it.

grails can't find view from plugin

I'm trying to write a grails plugin that can view files. Actually, I'm just trying to upgrade this one here... https://github.com/intelligrape/File-Viewer-Grails-Plugin to grails4, and get it working in my app.
Anyway, after I get it working in the app, I visit http://localhost:8080/file/index and I get this error:
URI
/file/index
Class
javax.servlet.ServletException
Message
Could not resolve view with name '/plugins/file-explorer-0.1/file/fileList' in servlet with name 'grailsDispatcherServlet'
This occurs when the controller does this...
def index(String filePath) {
Map model = [locations: fileLocations.locations]
// blah blah
render(view: "/file/fileList", model: model, plugin: 'fileExplorer')
}
The render() method is called (I checked in the debugger). I also tried removing the plugin: parameter, but it made no difference.
Now if I run the plugin as a standalone app (by going to that folder, and running "grails run-app", then it works as expected, and http://localhost:8080/file/index renders the view as one would expect.
This all leads me to believe that the plugin is basicly working and installed into my app EXCEPT the view component, which for whatever reason cannot find the views from a plugin.
If you want to know what the source looks like, it's basically what you see here:.. https://github.com/intelligrape/File-Viewer-Grails-Plugin Except I've renamed it from FileViewer to FileExplorer.
I'm using grails 4.1.0.M5 I don't know if it could be a bug in this version or what.
It seems that I should have had
plugin: 'filexplorer'
instead of
plugin: 'fileExplorer'
I could have sworn I tried this already. I guess the thing is it can be confusing which name to use where as far as plugins, as in the build.gradle name, the name in the *Plugin.groovy, the name in settings.gradle, the package name etc. Anyway, somehow I screwed up.

overriding front template translations doesn't work

I'm working on prestashop and I'm Trying to override "order detail page" in front (customer's details orders).
This is how I did :
I copied file \controllers\front\OrderDetailController.php into folder \override\controllers\front\OrderDetailController.php
I copied also default template file order-detail.tpl into folder override/customtemplate/order-detail.tpl
And In OrderDetailController.php I have specified template directory like that
$this->setTemplate(_PS_OVERRIDE_DIR_ . '/themes/parfum_evo/order-detail.tpl');
I tried, it works fine except translations. Even watching the documentation, no test solution seems to work.
Could anyone help me? Thank you in advance :'(
The php override sits in the correct place. As for the other, you specified the path the override/customtemplate/order-detail.tpl but then placed it in override/themes/parfum_evo/order-detail.tpl. I take it as customtemplate is farfum_evo really, but you need to add another one named themes, after override, using that structure. I think. Because there is a hook named
DisplayOverrideTemplate
Which should take care of this, while I believe setTemplate for controllers will always grab from the main theme folder

How to add custom fields in ZFC-user module for zend 2 without doctrine?

I have tried using creating a different module and attaching the ZfcUser\Form\Register over init method. But it wasn't working.
I want to add few custom fields, with changing any thing in the vendor dir, as is it not a good practice. I also tried using user_entity_class ,creating a custom 'User' class, but it was creating some route issue in other modules, with zfc-user , I'm also using zfc-admin and zfc-adminuser, the error was coming in zfc-adminuser, Couldn't found the class was the error.
Thanks in advance.
Well there are some issue regarding the overriding of the module ZFC-User, But still you can overwrite it manually.
One way I have used is a bit old fashioned but working. What I have done is I have copied complete module the to module folder. Then pointing the form towards to my module where the changes are required, rest all are pointed to default.With this you can update your module. Make sure you point the user_entity_class to your module something like this:
'user_entity_class' => 'MyZfcUser\Entity\User',
you can find this in config\autoload\zfcuser.global.php

How to create/use custom classes and helper in symfony 1.4?

What is the best way to put custom library or helper methods in symfony?
I am using doctrine with my project. One place I consider to put is under project_root/lib/vendor/MyClasses/
But if I want to create a class or helper function which will use some core symfony/doctrine methods and return a result then how to do that and where should I put it?
I want it to call from different modules to avoid code duplication.
As for the custom library part of the question, you might probably want to put your external library into the lib/vendor folder. Since symfony doesn't automatically load everything that's in there, you'll have to tell its autoloader to do so.
You can either extend your config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php (as described here) or (and this is the much simpler and cleaner way) you add them to your config/autoload.yml (you might have to create this one).
For the latter option, this is a great place to start looking at.
It seems to be a duplicate question.
As asked in symfony's 1.2 "Definitive Guide" docs :
Helper functions (regular PHP functions returning HTML code) should be saved in a file called FooBarHelper.php, where FooBar is the name of the helper group. Store the file in the apps/myapp/lib/helper/ directory (or in any helper/ directory created under one of the lib/ folders of your project) so it can be found automatically by the use_helper('FooBar') helper for inclusion.
So, if you want to create custom helper FooBar for foo() function, create file lib/helper/FooBarHelper.php :
function foo() {echo "foo!"; }
to use it in your template:
use_helper('FooBar')
....
foo(); //outs "foo!"

Read a file form web-app

Inside a grails application, I need to upload a file under web-app/js, add a prefix, and put it in S3. I'm having trouble figuring out how to read the js file in a way that will work in development (/web-app/js) and production (/js). I'm doing this from inside a domain object.
In your controllers, you can call :
def jsFolder = grailsAttributes.getApplicationContext().getResource("js/").getFile()
and then proceed with jsFolder.
To determine the base directory of a running Grails application, use
String dir = applicationContent.getResource("/").getFile()
Getting the js path from a service is a little bit tricky:
You need to implement the ApplicationContextAware interface like this :
class MyService implements ApplicationContextAware {
ApplicationContext applicationContext
However, calling this code from a domain class is not a good idea (see this thread for some explanations) and I am not even sure if it's possible except from getting paths from manual configurations
Hope it helps.
