Hey everyone,
I am trying to develop an extension (my_extension.php) that instead of outputting ($this->response->setOutput) to ...index.php?route=extension/analytics/my_extension it can, at the same time, output to any random URL or, at least, to more than one URL (my_extension_url_one, my_extension_url_two, etc).
Does anyone know how we can achieve that?
And what's the point of it?

You should be able to add rows in the url_alias table to map any URL to your extension.

I suppose you mean "seo_url" for oc 3.x but that only "renames" the ugly route url, doesn't allow me to create different urls for 1 extension.paulfeakins wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2019 7:00 pmYou should be able to add rows in the url_alias table to map any URL to your extension.
Essentially, I want to have multiple $this->response->setOutput to allow me to target different urls.
Other than "because I want to"?
I want the same extension to output different content to different pages so you can have, for example,
...index.php?route=extension/analytics/my_extension_products for product statistics
and
...index.php?route=extension/analytics/my_extension_categories for category statistics
If it is one extension outputting different content you have to tell the extension what to output.
Use a parameter like:
Use in combination with htaccess rewrites like:
so you can use:
something like that.
Use a parameter like:
Code: Select all
index.php?route=extension/analytics/my_extension&output=categories
index.php?route=extension/analytics/my_extension&output=productsCode: Select all
RewriteRule ^(.*)/my-extension/(.*).html$ index.php?route=extension/analytics/my_extension&output=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [NC]Code: Select all
index.php?route=extension/analytics/my_extension/categories
index.php?route=extension/analytics/my_extension/productsCrystal Light Centrum Taiwan

For some reason it didn't occur to me to use parameters. Thanks!letxobnav wrote: ↑Tue Oct 01, 2019 10:02 amIf it is one extension outputting different content you have to tell the extension what to output.

You can use OC event. Here are the steps:
1. Adding an event:
---------
For the sake of testing, you can add event directly into database table oc_event with following information:
2. Adding Event Handler in your controller
---------------------
In your controller i.e catalog/extension/module/my_extension.php, add following method to process the event response:
Now deliver your response depending on the GET variable `action_to_be_taken`

$route = 'extension/module/my_extension';

That's helpful, thanks!
Because I'm a noob, does some list of events exists somewhere?
I'd be interested in tracking changes to products, categories, options, addresses, etc.
On your database: <<table_prefix>>event table.
In your OC admin - > Extensions - > Events.
In your OC admin - > Extensions - > Events.
