rewrite block not working again

Question

hello I have a problem again with my rewrite, I tried to rewrite the product view block

app/code/local/Lesson/Test/etc/config.xml

 <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <config>
        <modules>
            <Lesson_Test>
                <version>1.0.0</version>
            </Lesson_Test>
        </modules>
        <global>
            <blocks>
                <catalog>
                    <rewrite>
                        <product_view>Lesson_Test_Block_Catalog_Product_View</product_view>
                    </rewrite>
                </catalog>
            </blocks>
        </global>
    </config>

app/code/local/Lesson/Test/Block/Catalog/Product/View.php

<?php
Class Lesson_Test_Block_Catalog_Product_View extends Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_View
{
    public function afficherLesInfos()
    {
        return 'les infos complementaires';
    }
}

app/etc/modules/Lesson.xml

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

I tried to access

http://127.0.0.1/magento/magento-tutorial/index.php/
http://127.0.0.1/magento/magento-tutorial/index.php/lesson
http://127.0.0.1/magento/magento-tutorial/index.php/lesson/product
http://127.0.0.1/magento/magento-tutorial/index.php/lesson/product/view
http://127.0.0.1/magento/magento-tutorial/index.php/product/view
http://127.0.0.1/magento/magento-tutorial/index.php/lesson/catalog/product/view

no one of that at work

I'm confused by what you want to achieve here.

Rewriting a block does not involve changing the URLs.

In your case, you're rewriting the catalog product view block so you just need to access a normal product view page.

But the way you're rewriting the block and adding a new method afficherLesInfos won't do anything if you don't call that method in your template.

To get that working you need to edit app/design/<your_package>/<your_theme>/template/catalog/product/view.phtml and add the following line to the template:

<?php echo $this->afficherLesInfos(); ?>

Also app/code/local/Lesson/Test/etc/config.php must be an XML file and not a PHP file like you said.

On top of that, as Amit said, your global config should be renamed from Lesson.xml to Lesson_Test.xml
