Hi, this is a sharp topic, but I still run prestashop 1.6. Please advise, a tip, why I can’t run Override for one of the modules. For the bankwire module or cod module the override module applies to me, but for the payment gateway module I still can’t apply the overide and I had to insert the modification directly into the module.php file

Does not work:

if (!defined (‘_ CAN_LOAD_FILES_’))
exit;

class PrestaAdapterOverride extends PrestaAdapter
{
public function hookPayment ($params)
{
try { …

Hey NemoPS
Thanks for reply – it helped me a lot

I’m begginer at prestashop and i thought official documentation should be best place to begin learning. As we all can see in this example – is not :/

So i wonder is there any better place (webpage, forum, wiki, something like that), where i can find more useful and primarily working tips and examples about prestashop?

THat doc is wrong
Both css and js can be overridden in the main folder. Like

theme/css/mobulename/cssfile.css

And js in the same way, using the js folder.

Perfect, but should i use that way to override .js and .css files? I mean i’ve tried override css and js in this way: http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS16/Overriding+default+behaviors but it’s not working (with deleting class_index.php ofc.).
My bypass is to override “favouriteproducts.php” like in this article, and change “$this->_path” in “hookDisplayHeader()” method to new path.

And again – is this proper way, or maybe there’s any simpler way to override just few js/css files?

I have tried but no effect, more strange :
If i override a module such as BlockLayered, all is ok.
If i override the vatnumber module, it does not work, still load the old one.

Any ideas ?

I don’t think it is since they’re not being loaded using the same methods across the site, but you can give it a try with some
