How do I properly overwrite Magento core functionality? I want to create a module that does it.

I need to edit this file: app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Model/Sales/Order/Create.php

I know there is a option to copy this file to app/code/local/Mage/Adminhtml/Model/Sales/Order/Create.php and add my functionality to it which will let Magento read this file from local folder instead of core folder.

It's a easy way of doing but by creating a custom module it's easier to manage all the changes I have done.

So here is what I have done so far:

I have created a /app/etc/modules/MyCompany_MyModule.xml config file with following content:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
 
<config>
    <modules>
        <Vendor_CustomPriceRevert>
            <active>true</active>
            <codePool>local</codePool>
        </Vendore_CustomPriceRevert>
    </modules>
</config>

This is my second file in app/code/local/MyCompany/MyModule/etc/config.xml and it's content:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
 
<config>
    <modules>
        <MyCompany_MyModule>
            <version>0.1.0</version>
        </MyCompany_MyModule>
    </modules>
</config>

I know these two files are essential for any module to work.

Now, what file do I need to create now if I want to overwrite this file? Could someone explain this to me?

Add below code inside <config> tag in config.xml file 

<global>
    <models>
        <adminhtml>
            <rewrite>
     <sales_order_create>MyCompany_MyModule_Adminhtml_Model_Sales_Order_Create</sales_order_create>
            </rewrite>
        </adminhtml>
    </models>
</global>

then add below code in MyCompany/MyModule/Adminhtml/Model/Sales/Order/Create.php file

<?php
class MyCompany_MyModule_Adminhtml_Model_Sales_Order_Create extends Mage_Adminhtml_Model_Sales_Order_Create
{
     echo "Hello World!"; die();
}

  • Great thank you. In the config.xml file does it have to go between <config> tags or add new <global> tags? I just been reading one tutorial and it was there so just making sure. Commented Nov 1, 2017 at 14:06
