There are several ways to override PrestaShop, each with its own advantages and disadvantages:

<?php // override/controllers/front/ProductController.php class ProductController extends ProductControllerCore

| Better alternative | When | |------------------|------| | ( .tpl ) | Only visual changes, no logic | | Hooks ( hookDisplay... ) | Adding content without changing core logic | | Module extension | Overriding a module’s own class | | Decorator pattern | Complex logic that needs swapping | | Symfony event listeners | For controllers using Symfony (PrestaShop 8+) |

Add a new variable to product page.

Or check in class_index.php :

public function install()

If you tell me (e.g., change payment fee, add product field, modify order status logic), I can give you a precise working code example.

Overriding PrestaShop refers to the process of customizing or replacing specific parts of the platform's code to achieve a desired functionality or design. This can include modifying existing modules, creating new ones, or even overriding core PrestaShop files.
