Override magento controller
Today, we’ll talk about how to override a magento controller.Every Magento project requires a certain level of customization. This may involve adding a new element or overriding an existing one. For any suggestions & question, please feel free to drop a comment.
First Step:
I am overriding the customer controller. First thing will create new module file.
The file location will me will be
app/etc/modules/QaisarSatti_Customer.xml
<config>
<modules>
<QaisarSatti_Customer>
<active>true</active>
<codePool>local</codePool>
</QaisarSatti_Customer>
</modules>
</config>
Second Step:
We will create module configuration file. So file location will be
app/code/local/QaisarSatti/Customer/etc/config.xml
<config>
<modules>
<QaisarSatti_Customer>
<version>0.0.1</version>
</QaisarSatti_Customer>
</modules>
<frontend>
<routers>
<customer>
<args>
<modules>
<QaisarSatti_Customer before="Mage_Customer">QaisarSatti_Customer</QaisarSatti_Customer>
</modules>
</args>
</customer>
</routers>
</frontend>
</config>
Third Step:
Now we will create the Our controller file.
app/code/local/QaisarSatti/Customer/controllers/AccountController.php
/**
* Overriding Customer account controller
*/
require_once Mage::getModuleDir('controllers', 'Mage_Customer') . DS . 'AccountController.php';
class QaisarSatti_Customer_AccountController extends Mage_Customer_AccountController {
public function ajaxAction() { //if you want to create a custom method in customer controller
echo 'Ajax cction is working!!';
}
public function loginAction() {
echo 'Overring the Login Action is working';
}
}
