New export action for pages in magnolia cms - magnolia

I need to create a new export action for the page app in magnolia cms that would always export selected page elements to a YAML file.
I would like to override the class definition and the dialog definition for the existing export action since I do not need a dialog that lets me select YAML or XML. It will always be YAML in my case.
I setup a new Maven module and created a new action for the Page app.
How do I configure a custom class for this action? How do I get the current context of the page in my class?

You have to remove the dialog attached to the action first. If you plan to have a custom action then simply do not configure one. We already have two actions for those two cases. If you are interested in YAML export use the following: info.magnolia.ui.framework.action.ExportYamlAction

My action configuration for exportYAML2
My actionbar configuration for exportYAML
* repeating the content of the comment below since I could not post pictures in the comment *
I configured two actions for exporting the YAML configuration of the node.
The second one (exportYAML2) using ExportYamlActionDefinition does not show up in the actionbar for the page even though I added it as an item.
Is there anything else I need to configure for it?
exportYaml with class info.magnolia.ui.framework.action.OpenExportDialogActionDefinition works. exportYaml2 with class info.magnolia.ui.framework.action.ExportYamlActionDefinition doesn't work. Availability for it is set to info.magnolia.ui.framework.availability.IsNotDeletedRule.

It is solved.
There are two things I needed to configure for a custom action in the pages app in magnolia.
configuration app modules>pages>apps>pages>subApps>browser>actions>MyAction withe class={custom or common class from https://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS61/Action+definition }
modules>pages>apps>pages>subApps>browser>actionbar>sections>pageActions>groups>uniquegroupname>items-MyAction

Prestashop 1.7 override front controller from custom theme

In PrestaShop 1.7, I have my own theme, which is currently the default.
In the product card, I need to display a list of multishop stores.
Since I don't know if it is possible to get information about multishop stores using the default controller controllers/front/ProductController.php, I want to extend this controller in my custom theme.
I am creating file themes/myTheme/override/controllers/front/ProductController.php with code like this:
class ProductController extends ProductControllerCore{
public $multiStores;
public function init()
{
parent::init();
echo 'test';
}
}
I expect that on the product card page I will be able to see my text "test".
But unfortunately nothing happens, I conclude that this controller is not connected for some reason.
Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong and how to fix the situation?
You cannot override a front controller method in a theme like that.
You'll need to override the core frontcontroller by placing
your code inside /override/controllers/front
See : https://devdocs.prestashop.com/1.7/modules/concepts/overrides/
Anyway you can achieve the desired result in a cleaner way by
using a proper frontend hook (ie. hookDisplayHeader) and build a simple module, checking the context object to see in which id_shop you are connected.

Drupal 8 hook_update_n code example needed

We have an existing custom module for our Drupal 8 application that created a content type and a view. The "news" module is in our production environment running fine; many pieces of content have been created using it.
Now enhancements have been requested: 2 new fields and a change to the view. I have made the changes using the admin UI in our dev environment, but I will need to put these changes into the module's code for version control so that in new site instances, one need not remember to make UI changes after installing the module.
The fields:
field_show_on_page, Field Type: List (text)
field_news_dateline, Field Type: Date
View:
The change in the view is on what field the sorting is done.
It would be simple to export the fields and view configurations and add them to the module>config >install folder, but for the change to be picked up, that requires uninstalling and reinstalling the module, which can't be done without needing to delete news content, which is not acceptable.
I understand the changes can be done in hook_update_N in the news.install file. But I cannot find examples for this function that is close enough for this need. I understand the function should be written as:
news_update_8001() {} but what would go in the body to add the two fields and update the view?
Thank you.
If you have the new fields in your config you can just delete the old fields by adding this in your hook and then run drush updb before you import the config:
$field = \Drupal::entityTypeManager()->getStorage('field_config')->load('node.news.old_field');
if ($field) {
$field->delete();
}

Default custom route on SonataORMAdmin list view

Refering to the SoanataORMAdmin's documentation, it is possible to change the default route of object links.
By default, it's the edit route. I don't want it at all and need to change it to show without override all my admin class.
What is the better way to override the default route ?
Thanks.
The best way is to override the twig by extending SonataORMAdminBundle.
To do this, you need to :
install SonataEasyGenerate Bundle
use the command php app/console sonata:easy-extends:generate SonataORMAdminBundle
this will generate a new repository Application/Sonata/DoctrineORMAdminBundle
Then you need to go to Application/Sonata/DoctrineORMAdminBundle/Ressources/views/CRUD and paste the twigs from the vendors (vendor/Sonata/DoctrineORMAdminBundle/Ressources/views/CRUD)
Finally, change the links in the twigs.
For example, if you want to call the list view to call the show route for a many to one relation :
edit list_orm_many_to_one.html.twig to call generateObjectUrl('show',...) instead of generateObjectUrl('edit',...)
Hope this will help.

How does Symfony2 detect where to load templates from?

Where does Symfony2 detect where to load templates from: from app/Resourses/views/ or from Bundle/Resourses/views/?
I need to override it to look for templates in another directory before looking into app/Resourses/views/.
I found: Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\CacheWarmer\TemplateFinder
Now I just need to override it. How?
Symfony2 works with this workflow
Access route, pass control to controller, render a view (template)
If the view is not overridden ( app/..../ ) then bundle template is render
If there's an override, then took it
So the question is: how can I override a template?
There are two different ways for override templates in symfony2
Define a template with same name into app/resources directory. Together "same name" you have to reproduce the same structure of the bundle. So, if your template is in, i.e., myFooBundle/views/mainTemplate.html.twig you have to override it by creating a new one template in app/resources/myFooBundle/views and call it mainTemplate.html.twig
You have to create a new bundle from scratch and override getParent() method that have to return a string containing bundle name that you want to override ( myfooBundle ). Now if you create a new template in the same position of the original, you have overwritten it. This method is not recommended since you have to override controller also.

Rewrite default Drupal view programmatically

Say we have a defaul view (i.e hardcoded), provided by Views module , for example "taxonomy/term/%"
Now, I'd like to make some modification to that view programmatically, through an installation profile
Normally I use Features module for such work, but Features does not support default views.
Please advise how to do that.
Thanks!
Use hook_views_default_views_alter
function MODULE_views_default_views_alter(&$views) {
if (isset($views['taxonomy_term'])) {
$views['taxonomy_term']->set_display('default');
$views['taxonomy_term']->display_handler->set_option('title', 'Categories');
}
}
You should use the Views theme information. There is a link you can use to find out what you should name your views (Its called "Theme Information") copy the name of the particular part of the view you would like to hardcode and paste it as a new file in your template's directory. You can use a folder (I usually name it views) to separate these files from others in the template. You'll need to refresh your cache to see the changes once you've created the new template file(s).
Yes, use hook_views_default_views_alter()
Here's a good example:
