Adding new tab in Product Admin page like Features Tab, Attributes Tab etc. in PS Version 1.5.3

[chazeprasad]

I would like to add a new tab in Product Admin page like Features Tab, Attributes Tab etc. in PS Version 1.5.3. I found some help for 1.4.5. But I am looking for the same solution for 1.5.x.

 

Thanks in advance

thanks for the reply. actually I want a Tab under Catalog > Product >

 

 

Please give some idea on how to create one

[El Patron]

sorry about that, I see now what you want...one can not add sub menus via the method I described above...

 

you will need create a module that hooks to displayAdminProductsExtra

 

even if you could add a tab, you would still need some module or controller to process it..

 

best of luck!

you can learn more about how to do this by reviewing the developers guide:

Sorry if I revamp this topic but I'm also interested in extend one of my modules with a backoffice tab.

However I can't access the link posted by eTiendas.co.

I'm asked to log in but my forum credentials are rejected.

displayAdminProductsExtra - this is hook for additional product tab,

 

in your module you have to register this hook in the install function:

 

!$this->registerHook('displayAdminProductsExtra')

 

then you have to create function with this hook:

 

   public function hookDisplayAdminProductsExtra($params) {
        return $this->display(__FILE__, 'tab-body.tpl');
   }

 

and that's all

First of all I want to thank you, as you helped me a lot with this topic.

 

I am trying to implement a button on to run a query on the database when clicking on the button, but I cannot catch the click event. I implemented the following:

 

module.tpl:

<TD><input type="submit" name="updatesettings" value="{l s='Update'}" class="button" /></TD>

 

module.php:

public function hookDisplayAdminProductsExtra() {

global $smarty, $cookie;

 

$product = $this->context->cookie->product;

 

$smarty->assign('name', $this->l('Gifts'));

$smarty->assign('Hint', $this->l('The customer will be allowed to pick a product from this category for free.'));

$smarty->assign('credits', $this->l('Powered by BlazingArts'));

 

 

//GET CATEGORIES

$sql = 'SELECT '._DB_PREFIX_.'category.id_category, '._DB_PREFIX_.'category_lang.name ';

$sql .= 'FROM '._DB_PREFIX_.'category, '._DB_PREFIX_.'category_lang ';

$sql .= 'WHERE '._DB_PREFIX_.'category.id_category = '._DB_PREFIX_.'category_lang.id_category AND '._DB_PREFIX_.'category_lang.id_lang = '.$this->context->language->id;

if ($Categories = Db::getInstance()->ExecuteS($sql))

 

//SAVE

if(Tools::isSubmit('updatesettings')){

Alert ('Guardars');

 

}

 

$smarty->assign('Categories', $Categories);

return $this->display(__FILE__, 'AdminDAFFreeProduct.tpl');

}

[vekia]

you want to run sql here:

 

if(Tools::isSubmit('updatesettings')){
Alert ('Guardars');
}

 

?

 

 

what is Alert() in php ?

[daalfu]

yes. I managed to add a new tab in product admin. Now I want to run a query when I click on a button. In order to do that, I wrote this:

 

module.php:

public function hookDisplayAdminProductsExtra() {

global $smarty, $cookie;

 

$product = $this->context->cookie->product;

 

$smarty->assign('name', $this->l('Gifts'));

$smarty->assign('Hint', $this->l('The customer will be allowed to pick a product from this category for free.'));

$smarty->assign('credits', $this->l('Powered by BlazingArts'));

 

 

//GET CATEGORIES

$sql = 'SELECT '._DB_PREFIX_.'category.id_category, '._DB_PREFIX_.'category_lang.name ';

$sql .= 'FROM '._DB_PREFIX_.'category, '._DB_PREFIX_.'category_lang ';

$sql .= 'WHERE '._DB_PREFIX_.'category.id_category = '._DB_PREFIX_.'category_lang.id_category AND '._DB_PREFIX_.'category_lang.id_lang = '.$this->context->language->id;

if ($Categories = Db::getInstance()->ExecuteS($sql))

 

//SAVE

if(Tools::isSubmit('updatesettings')){

Alert ('Guardars'); 'I WANT TO RUN THE QUERY HERE.'

 

}

 

$smarty->assign('Categories', $Categories);

return $this->display(__FILE__, 'AdminDAFFreeProduct.tpl');

}

 

The problem is that when I click on the button, the page reloads and I cannot get the code executed. The alert() function is to display a msgbox. I put it in order to see if that portion of the code was being executed. But it is not.

 

I am new in this, and I am not sure where should I write the code to be executed when clicking the button.

[vekia]

but you've got this function defined somewhere? i mean Alert();

[daalfu]

No. It simply works for me. I used it several times in different parts of the code, and it always worked.

[vekia]

but this is php not javascript

 

in php, by default, this function doesnt exist

 

it's better to use print_r('something');

[daalfu]

Haha. Good to know. As you see, I am new in php. Regarding my module, any idea where I should write the code in order to get the button to work?

[vekia]

code that you pasted should work, i mean if condition where you check the $_POST: tools::isSubmit('')

 

use there query with Db object, something like:

 

Db::getInstance()->Execute('Your Query Here");

[jemmeli]

what if some one want to add more than one tabs under the product admin's tab , i think the hook DisplayAdminProductsExtra is not sufficient and can add just one tab ?

[vekia]

as far as i know you cant create (in ps 1.5) more than one displayAdminProductsExtra tab. it mean one module = one tab.

[jemmeli]

yes , this is right and due to the prestashop's controller AdminProductsController.php that contains on the line 149 the following code:

 

[/size][/font][/color]
/* Adding tab if modules are hooked */
$modules_list = Hook::getHookModuleExecList('displayAdminProductsExtra');

 

and that's mean I can not add many tab per module but , is it possible to change the intern code of prestashop to make this happen ?

[Vipul Hadiya]

Let me tell you i am your fan.

Is it possible to add multiple tab using single module?

[ChDUP]

Hi

 

When I try to add my tab with

public function hookDisplayAdminProductsExtra($params) {
return 'test';
}

It works , but a style="display:none;" is automaticly added on my new tab.
Any idea about this ?

 

thanks
