[Solved] Prestashop Add Custom URL Field

[kreativi]

Finally I have done adding a URL field in product page. I was looking for it so that I can setup my affiliate shop easily and in the same time can enjoy all other prestashop features.

I have modified a tutorial by Kerm a little more for the purpose. Check the steps below.


In AdminProducts.php add following:

'.$this->l('Affiliate URL:').' 
<input size="55" type="text" name="affurl" value="'.htmlentities($this->getFieldValue($obj, 'affurl'), ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8').'" style="width: 130px; margin-right: 44px;" />

'.$this->l('Enter Your Affiliate URL including http://').'

in classes/product.php add following:

    /** @var string affurl */ 
   public  $affurl;

where public function getFields() add:

$fields['affurl'] = psql($this->affurl);

In your theme product.tpl add:

{if not $product->affurl==0}affurl|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" target="_blank" id="buy-now">{l s=''}{/if}

In your theme css/product.css add:

#buy-now {
   background: #f1f2f4 url(../img/button.jpg) repeat-x top left;
   font-size: 1.1em;
   color: #374853;
   margin-bottom: 1.5em;
   display: block;
   width: 200px;
   height: 50px;
}

In phpmyadmin, add new field in ps_product table, with name affurl with this parameters:

Type: varchar(255), utf8_general_ci, NULL Yes, default NULL

Design button.jpg and upload it in your theme's image folder.

I will update a link to website soon with working model of above tutorial.

A little update:

In your theme product.tpl add following

{if not $product->affurl==0}affurl|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" target="_blank" id="buy-now">{l s=''}{/if}

Thanks for this. Exactly what I've been needing.

I can't get the link to work correctly tho. I changed the code on product.tpl to:

{if not $product->affurl==0}{l s='Buy Now'}{/if}

Now it is a link but goes to my home page instead of the affiliate URL.

You can see it in action here: http://ishigardens.com/product.php?id_product=1

Any advice appreciated!

Hi Ishi,

There was a little mistake in in code for product.tpl

Change href to following;

href="{$product->affurl|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}"

You can find this code working in following link. I hope this will work.
