How to add more action buttons on create order page dropdown

In this blog, we are about to learn, how to add more action buttons on create order page dropdown for extra actions.

Usually, admin create an order for customers to improve the service. Sometime admin need some extra action other than usual creation of order like send the created order notification to the customers. So, they can easily make a checkout to complete an order.
To achieve the above goal we add some extra action buttons to the create order page.

Let’s start,

First of all, we need to register a new hook named ‘displayAdminOrderCreateExtraButtons’

Note: This hook is available since PrestaShop version 1.7.8

We use this hook to display additional action buttons or links to the create orders page dropdown.

Now we define the definition of hook functionality as follows:

public function hookDisplayAdminOrderCreateExtraButtons()
    {
        // Create your logic here
        // assign smarty variables if needed
        
        return $this->context->smarty->fetch('module:wktestmodule/views/templates/hook/more_action.tpl');
    }

Now, we have to create a template file as above mentioned more_action.tpl
You can also replace the template file name according to your need.

more_action.tpl

<button class="dropdown-item btn-info" id="js-custom-action-button">
    {l s='Custom action button' mod='modulename'}
</button>
<a class="dropdown-item btn-warning" id="js-custom-action-link" target="_blank" href="http://yourshop.com/action-link">
    {l s='Custom action link' mod='modulename'}
</a>

In the above code, you can modify style, property, and action.

Now you will get the result as follows:
