php - Overriding core template files from module -

i'm learning addon developer prestashop. have been trying solve long time, how override template file module? @ moment i'm overriding entire file copying template file in override folder module on installation:

from:

/modules/<module>/views/templates/admin/products/informations.tpl 

to:

/override/controllers/admin/templates/products/informations.tpl 

overriding whole file add input field seems pretty rough.

this works fine, i'm worried because if user installs other module wants use same file , corrupts or prestashop's new version changes file , doesn't support new version anymore. in every way feels dirty solution problem.

is there way override part of file , maybe directly module folder? there better way this? how do this?

to override templates in prestashop need override hookdisplayoverridetemplate method modules controller.

to register hook, add install function:

$this->registerhook('displayoverridetemplate');

now add own version of function server .tpl file.

public function hookdisplayoverridetemplate($params) {     $controllername = get_class($params['controller']);     $tpl = dirname(__file__) . '/views/templates/override/example.tpl';     if ($controllername == 'examplecontroller' && file_exists($tpl))          return $tpl;     return false; } 

in example, need place template want override inside modules /views/template/override folder.

when page loaded front controller, classes/controller/frontcontroller.php, calls hookdisplayoverridetemplate function , if template returned, loaded, otherwise loads default template.

i have tested , know works prestashop v1.5 , v1.6
