Additional buttons in the main buttons bar

actionGetAdminOrderButtons hook demo

We use this hook to display additional action buttons into the main buttons bar.

Let’s add hook related code to main module class demovieworderhooks:

<?php
    /**
     * Add buttons to main buttons bar
     */
    public function hookActionGetAdminOrderButtons(array $params)
    {
        $order = new Order($params['id_order']);

        /** @var \Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Routing\Router $router */
        $router = $this->get('router');

        /** @var \PrestaShop\PrestaShop\Core\Action\ActionsBarButtonsCollection $bar */
        $bar = $params['actions_bar_buttons_collection'];

        $viewCustomerUrl = $router->generate('admin_customers_view', ['customerId'=> (int)$order->id_customer]);
        $bar->add(
            new \PrestaShop\PrestaShop\Core\Action\ActionsBarButton(
                'btn-secondary', ['href' => $viewCustomerUrl], 'View customer'
            )
        );
        $bar->add(
            new \PrestaShop\PrestaShop\Core\Action\ActionsBarButton(
                'btn-info', ['href' => 'https://www.prestashop-project.org/'], 'Go to prestashop'
            )
        );
        $bar->add(
            new \PrestaShop\PrestaShop\Core\Action\ActionsBarButton(
                'btn-dark', ['href' => 'https://github.com/PrestaShop/example-modules/tree/master/demovieworderhooks'], 'Go to GitHub'
            )
        );
        $createAnOrderUrl = $router->generate('admin_orders_create');
        $bar->add(
            new \PrestaShop\PrestaShop\Core\Action\ActionsBarButton(
                'btn-link', ['href' => $createAnOrderUrl], 'Create an order'
            )
        );
    }
We used full path here \PrestaShop\PrestaShop\Core\Action\ActionsBarButton but a slightly better approach could be with use statement followed by imported class namespace above the class declaration: use PrestaShop\PrestaShop\Core\Action\ActionsBarButton;

With $router = $this->get('router'); we inject the router capable to generate url links to controller actions from routes and their parameters. For example:

<?php
$viewCustomerUrl = $router->generate('admin_customers_view', ['customerId'=> (int)$order->id_customer]);

And also we use ActionsBarButtonsCollection to add our new ActionsBarButton buttons. And just with this small function we get a nice result (View customer and More actions buttons added):
