Hi testseeders,

you misunderstood a key-concept here. You shouldn’t change the controller itself. You need to rely on a distpach-event.  
Here’s a short overview: [Shopware controller](https://developers.shopware.com/developers-guide/controller/#extending-shopware's-default-controllers)

But actually you should start here: [Plugin quick Startup Guide](https://developers.shopware.com/developers-guide/plugin-quick-start/)

If you read it until the end and understand it, you should be able to solve the problem.

Best regards
