Question

I want to know how to make a custom admin panel page in opencart.

Requires login with the controller - the admin panel does not seem to use the same controller as th

Answer 1

OpenCart 2.x

The path names have changed in OpenCart 2 - you will want to create

admin/controller/extension/module/hello.php admin/language/en-gb/extension/module/hello.php admin/view/template/extension/module/hello.tpl Then the route becomes

admin/index.php?route=extension/module/hello

OpenCart 1.x

• Include full MVC flow.

I found out how to do this. OpenCart uses the MVC pattern. I recommend reading about How to be an OpenCart Guru? post about learning how the system works - this Admin workflow should also suffice for customer end.

1) Create a new file in admin/controller/custom/helloworld.php

Your filename and controller name should be the same in desc order:

helloworld.php

load->model('custom/hello');
        $this->template = ''.$template.'';
        $this->children = array(
            'common/header',
            'common/footer'
        );      
        $this->response->setOutput($this->render());
    }
}
?>

2) Create a new file in admin/view/template/custom/hello.tpl

Hello.tpl

HelloWorld

 

3) Create a new file in admin/model/custom/hello.php

db->query($sql);
        return $query->row['total'];    
    }       
}
?>

4) You then need to enable the plugin to avoid permission denied errors:

Opencart > Admin > Users > User Groups > Admin > Edit

Select and Enable the Access Permission.
