Adding new funcionality to a button (calling another script)

[Ivan Bašić]

Hello everyone, I am looking for guidance where to find a file/function/piece of code which handles stock add/removal.

My idea was this: when I press a "Add Stock" or "Remove Stock" button and insert data, and then when I click "OK" button, I want that click to trigger a script which is written in Python. I also want to pass the "Quantity", "Price" and "Comment" as arguments to the Python script. Furthermore, but not necessarily, I want to pass current user name.

I am not familiar with PHP, but I found this code (Stackoverflow link):

<?php

$command = escapeshellcmd('/usr/custom/test.py');

$output = shell_exec($command);

echo $output;

?>

This looks promising, as I could, I guess, without problems pass arguments as well.

What I actually need guidance with is finding where exactly should I add this piece of code! Of course, I also need to somehow pass the "Quantity", "Price" and "Comment" parameters, so any help with that would be helpful, but I am willing to learn that on my own.

I think that .php scripts I am looking for should be in folder
\partkeepr-1.4.0\src\PartKeepr\PartBundle\Action

but I am still unable to get myself through all of that.

Any help would be appreciated.

Check out the folowing files/functions:

PartBundle/Action/PartPutAction.php  /  public function __invoke(Request $request, $id)
PartBundle/Action/PartPostAction.php /  public function __invoke(Request $request)

As far as I am aware these two functions will be called when you change existing or add new parts.
You can add your custom code in these two functions.

Dear Ivan

I found the mention of a Python library

https://pypartkeepr.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

(don't confuse that readthedocs with this https://readthedocs.web.cern.ch/display/PARTK/PartKeepr+Unofficial+Wiki+Home)

Regards

Daniel

Hvala Jurica, thank you Daniel.

I will try what you recommended. It will take me some time until I find free time to implement ideas, but I will write a feedback here when I get to do something.

Thank you once again.
