Magento – Overriding Contact Controller – No difference

contact-uscontrollersmagento-1.9overrides

After running through every tutorial on the internet about overriding core controllers I resort to posting here.

Magento: 1.9.1.1 community

Namespace: Tft

Module Name: Customcontact

Files:

/app/code/local/Tft/Customcontact/etc/config.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Tft_Customcontact>
            <version>1.0.0</version>
        </Tft_Customcontact>
    </modules>
    <frontend>
        <routers>
            <customcontact>
                <args>
                    <modules>
                        <Tft_Customcontact before="Mage_Contacts">Tft_Customcontact</Tft_Customcontact>
                    </modules>
                </args>
            </customcontact>
        </routers>
    </frontend> 
</config>

/app/etc/modules/Tft_Customcontact.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Tft_Customcontact>
            <active>true</active>
            <codepool>local</codepool>
        </Tft_Customcontact>
    </modules>
</config>

And the controller:
/app/code/local/Tft/Customcontact/controllers/IndexController.php

<?php
require_once Mage::getModuleDir('controllers', 'Mage_Contacts') . DS . 'IndexController.php';
class Tft_Customcontact_IndexController extends Mage_Contacts_IndexController
{
    public function postAction()
    {
        $post = $this->getRequest()->getPost();
        if ( $post ) {
            $translate = Mage::getSingleton('core/translate');
            /* @var $translate Mage_Core_Model_Translate */
            $translate->setTranslateInline(false);
            try {
                $postObject = new Varien_Object();
                $postObject->setData($post);

                $error = false;

                if (!Zend_Validate::is(trim($post['name']) , 'NotEmpty')) {
                    $error = true;
                }

                if (!Zend_Validate::is(trim($post['comment']) , 'NotEmpty')) {
                    $error = true;
                }

                if (!Zend_Validate::is(trim($post['email']), 'EmailAddress')) {
                    $error = true;
                }

                if (Zend_Validate::is(trim($post['hideit']), 'NotEmpty')) {
                    $error = true;
                }

                /**************************************************************/
                $fileName = '';
                if (isset($_FILES['customerimg']['name']) && $_FILES['customerimg']['name'] != '') {
                    try {
                        $fileName       = $_FILES['customerimg']['name'];
                        $fileExt        = strtolower(substr(strrchr($fileName, ".") ,1));
                        $fileNamewoe    = rtrim($fileName, $fileExt);
                        $fileName       = preg_replace('/\s+/', '', $fileNamewoe) . time() . '.' . $fileExt;

                        $uploader       = new Varien_File_Uploader('customerimg');
                        $uploader->setAllowedExtensions(array('jpg', 'png', 'gif')); //add more file types you want to allow

                        $uploader->setFilesDispersion(false);
                        $path = Mage::getBaseDir('media') . DS . 'contacts';
                        if(!is_dir($path)){
                            mkdir($path, 0777, true);
                        }
                        $uploader->save($path . DS, $fileName );

                    } catch (Exception $e) {
                                Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->addError($e->getMessage());
                        $error = true;
                    }
                }
                /**************************************************************/

                if ($error) {
                    throw new Exception();
                }
                $mailTemplate = Mage::getModel('core/email_template');
                /* @var $mailTemplate Mage_Core_Model_Email_Template */

                /**************************************************************/
                //sending file as attachment
                $attachmentFilePath = Mage::getBaseDir('media'). DS . 'contacts' . DS . $fileName;
                if(file_exists($attachmentFilePath)){
                    $fileContents = file_get_contents($attachmentFilePath);

                        Mage::getStoreConfig(self::XML_PATH_EMAIL_RECIPIENT),
                        null,

                    );

                if (!$mailTemplate->getSentSuccess()) {
                    throw new Exception();
                }

                $translate->setTranslateInline(true);

                Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->addSuccess(Mage::helper('contacts')->__('If you see this at all your custom controller works.'));
                $this->_redirect('*/*/');

                return;
            } catch (Exception $e) {
                $translate->setTranslateInline(true);

                Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->addError(Mage::helper('contacts')->__('Unable to submit your request. Please, try again later'));
                $this->_redirect('*/*/');
                return;
            }

        } else {
            $this->_redirect('*/*/');
        }
    }
}

All cache has been flushed dozens of times. The module is very clearly enabled in the admin panel. Yet it only shows the success message from the default system controller. When submitting the contact form I should be getting: "If you see this at all your custom controller works."

If I override the core file directly it works, of course, but obviously overriding core is not ideal.

Anyone see anything out of ordinary here?

There issue in

Tft_Customcontact.xml



 <codepool>local</codepool>

should be

 <codePool>local</codePool>

P should Capital word

See how to overrider controller check at here

Issue1: Spacing issue

In config.xml

<Code_PS before="Mage_Customer">
                            Code_PS
                        </Code_PS>

Please put this code in one line:

 <Code_PS  before="Mage_Customer">Code_PS</Code_PS>

Like:

<frontend>
        <routers>
            <customer>
                <args>
                    <modules>
                        <Code_PS  before="Mage_Customer">Code_PS</Code_PS>
                    </modules>
                </args>
            </customer>
        </routers>
........

Layout file not working:

May be layout update is not working: you need to remove code from config.xml.Need to put codes of codes_ps code at local.xml or customer.xml.

Remove:

<layout>
            <updates>
                <code_ps>
                    <file>code_ps.xml</file><!-- frontend layout file -->
                </code_ps>
            </updates>
        </layout>

preDispatch function:

As per as magento system,before any action of AccountController dispatch magento is check check it valued or not.So you need to add your action to dispatch event.

Code:

<?php
require_once 'Mage/Customer/controllers/AccountController.php';
class Code_PS_AccountController extends Mage_Customer_AccountController
{ 
  public function preDispatch()
    {

        $action = $this->getRequest()->getActionName();
        $ExitsopenActions = array(
            'create',
            'login',
            'logoutsuccess',
            'forgotpassword',
            'forgotpasswordpost',
            'resetpassword',
            'resetpasswordpost',
            'confirm',
            'confirmation'
        );
        $newOpenAction=array('registerimpressionist','registersponsor');

        $allActions=array_merge($ExitsopenActions,$newOpenAction);

        /* check custom action */
        $Custompattern = '/^(' . implode('|', $newOpenAction) . ')/i';


        if (preg_match($Custompattern, $action)) {
            /* if match then set Current action to create for skip  parent::preDispatch(); */
            $this->getRequest()->setActionName('create');
        }
        parent::preDispatch();

           /**
            * Parent check is complete, reset request action name to origional value
            */
           if ($action != $this->getRequest()->getActionName())
           {
            $this->getRequest()->setActionName($action);
           }
           if (!$this->getRequest()->isDispatched()) {
            return;
           }

        $mypattern = '/^(' . implode('|', $allActions) . ')/i';

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

    }
}

Magento – Magento Category Controller not overriding

There some change require in your code:

No1: Mage_Catalog module CategoryController properly not included.

You need to include this file at your override controller in magento way.

require_once('app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/controllers/CategoryController.php');

Is should be

require_once Mage::getModuleDir('controllers', 'Mage_Catalog').DS.'CategoryController.php';

Also you need to create module config file Deepak_Ajaxdeep.xml at app/etc/modules
