Magento – Error extends AccountController.php in magento

controllersmagento-1.7

I'm trying to extend the core AccountController.php -> app/code/core/Mage/Customer copied it to app/code/local/Mage/ and add a log to see which extends properly.

In the file AccountController.php (app/code/local/Mage/Customer/controllers)
...
...
public function createPostAction() {
        Mage::log('In app/code/local/Mage/', null, 'test.log', true);
...
...

AND CORE (only test)
In the file AccountController.php (app/code/core/Mage/Customer/controllers)
...
...
public function createPostAction() {
        Mage::log('In app/code/core/Mage/', null, 'test.log', true);
...
...

And does not go through code/local/ Mage but by CORE. I need to configure something or it fails?

So I created a separate module following this tutorial: http:// aqpredict.com/blog/overriding-account-contoller-magento/ does not work.

anyone has an example of this, thanks.

I answered this question of yours over at StackOverflow:

The logic through which controller class definitions are loaded builds the path to the file above the explicit include paths on which the autoloader relies. This means no local vs. core precedence.

You need to creat a controller rewrite by specifying a directory under the xpath frontend/routers/customer/args/modules/your_module

The latter node needs the before attribute set to Mage_Customer and you will need to create an AccountController.php with a createPostAction() method. Depending on your needs you may or may not need to extend from and require the core account controller class.

Magento – Extend Magento Controller AND create new action

By "this new action won't work" I think you meant that you are redirected to login, no? Take a look at Mage_Customer_AccountController::preDispatch():

public function preDispatch()
{
    // a brute-force protection here would be nice

    parent::preDispatch();

    if (!$this->getRequest()->isDispatched()) {
        return;
    }

    $action = $this->getRequest()->getActionName();
    $openActions = array(
        'create',
        'login',
        'logoutsuccess',
        'forgotpassword',
        'forgotpasswordpost',
        'resetpassword',
        'resetpasswordpost',
        'confirm',
        'confirmation'
    );
    $pattern = '/^(' . implode('|', $openActions) . ')/i';

    if (!preg_match($pattern, $action)) {
        if (!$this->_getSession()->authenticate($this)) {
            $this->setFlag('', 'no-dispatch', true);
        }
    } else {
        $this->_getSession()->setNoReferer(true);
    }
}

There's a whitelist of actions which can be accessed without logging in ($openActions). You will need to override the preDispatch() method in your controller class as well, adding your fbLoginPostAction() action to the list.

I wish there were a way to specify these externally :-/

Magento – Invalid login & problem registration password AccountController.php

cleanPasswordsValidationData()is not a default method available in Magento. So I guess you have some customizations which are carried out in AccountController.php or there may be a rewrite for this very same class.

During customer registration, magento will execute createPostAction() method which is present in app/code/core/Mage/Customer/controllers/AccountController.php. If you inspect this method, you can't find a method with name cleanPasswordsValidationData() which is called up on a customer instance.

Even-though you comment it out the line which holds cleanPasswordsValidationData(), that line of code is intended to use some validation on posted data which is important in case of customer registration process. So instead of commenting it out, you need to dig from there and make the validation correct.

May be this customization is done during development of the site. Contact the developer if you are not a developer. That's the only possibility to resolve this issue.
