Prestashop FrontController::$context is protected property when create a order

Question

My module I'm try to make a order from cart.

In my modules controller file I'm calling validateOrder

 PaymentModule::validateOrder((int)$urbCart->id, $order_status, $order_total, "urb-it", NULL, array(), (int)$currency->id, false, $urbCart->secure_key); 

to create an order. However I got error:

PHP Fatal error: Cannot access protected property 'UrbitOrderCompleteModuleFrontController::$context in /opt/webapp/urbit/classes/PaymentModule.php on line 171'

The payment module error is happen in (line 171) is below

if (!isset($this->context)) {
    $this->context = Context::getContext();
}

Why that context is say as protected property? How can I create order?

Answer 1

validateOrder() is not a static method so in your module controller call it like this:

$this->module->validateOrder((int)$urbCart->id, $order_status, $order_total, "urb-it", NULL, array(), (int)$currency->id, false, $urbCart->secure_key);

Any controller which extends either ModuleFrontController or ModuleAdminController have a property module object of the module which uses the controller.

Edit:

Module class must extend PaymentModule in order to use validateOrder method.
