how add custom field in products prestashop 1.5.4

[giwrgos]

Hello I'm searching a way to add custom fields to the product page on the back office. I was used this example (which is what i'm looking for) but it is for an old version of prestashop

http://strife.pl/2011/12/how-to-add-new-custom-field-in-prestashop/

 

I found also this example which doesn't help because is not english!!

http://www.webbax.ch/2011/06/24/comment-ajouter-un-nouveau-champ-sur-la-fiche-produit-et-dans-le-back-office-prestashop/

 

Does anyone know how i can do the first url on the newest versions of prestashop?

 

 

Thank you

Maybe I am wrong, but you want add some custom fields to your backend. Did I understand you correctly?

[giwrgos]

yes like this http://strife.pl/2011/12/how-to-add-new-custom-field-in-prestashop/

[Alex Simonchik BelVG]

Way that described in my article is better. With it you don't need to make changes in core files. Data will be saved in own table, it will make your upgrade easier in future.

can you make an example with input field instead of text area?

[Alex Simonchik BelVG]

Yes, sure:

 

Sample.tpl
{if isset($belvg_textarea)}
<!-- Belvg_SampleModule -->
   <fieldset style="border:none;">
    <input name="belvg_sample" value="{$belvg_textarea}" />
   </fieldset>
<div class="clear"> </div>
<!-- /Belvg_SampleModule -->
{/if}

[giwrgos]

sorry for the delay!! thanks a lot!!

[radomir]

Hello I realy like your module.

 

Please there are the way how we can show the content in the product list template ?

 

I was trieyed add it in the hook but without any result ..

 

Thank you for reply

[Alex Simonchik BelVG]

Hi radomir,

 

there is some example for using hook "ActionProductListOverride". Also you will need to change product-list.tpl of your theme.

That's nice, but how I can't prevent to save invalid data and display error?

[Alex Simonchik BelVG]

Hi snejk,

Thanks for the reply

 

Yes - display error and prevent updating product in case of invalid value.

 

I'm looking where write error message in $this->context->cookie and Cookie class, but I still don't know where do it?

[Alex Simonchik BelVG]

Hi, first of all thank for comment on our blog

 

public function hookActionProductUpdate($params) {
...
$this->context->cookie->belvg_pp_errors = NULL;
if (!empty($errors) {
$this->context->cookie->belvg_pp_errors = $this->displayError($this->l('One of the dates you entered is incorrect'));
continue;
}
...
}

public function hookDisplayAdminProductsExtra($params) {
...
$this->context->smarty->assign(array(
'belvg_pp_errors' => ((isset($this->context->cookie->belvg_pp_errors) && !empty($this->context->cookie->belvg_pp_errors)) ? $this->context->cookie->belvg_pp_errors : ''),
));
...
}

 

after smarty assign, you can display error message in your .tpl file

Hi, first of all thank for comment on our blog

(...)

I must say, that your tutorials are very helpful

 

Your solution above is a part of my question.

I want to keep user in edit page, when input is invalid.

Like this case:

I have got this error when I trying save product with invalid name.

 

EDIT:

Finally, I found solution with overriding controller.

mymodule/mymodule.php

public function hookActionProductUpdate($params) {
	// validation values code here
	Configuration::updateValue('MYMODULE_VALID', $valid);
}

mymodule/override/controllers/admin/AdminProductsController.php

class AdminProductsController extends AdminProductsControllerCore
{
public function checkProduct()
{
	if( Configuration::get('MYMODULE_VALID') )
		$this->errors[] = Tools::displayError('Error msg');
	return parent::checkProduct();
}

Changes appear after install/reinstall module.

Is it possible to rename a tab? Right now it's using a module name, I'd like to change it to something else without changing module name.

 

Thanks in advance!

Why do you think my question was out of topic?  

 

Alexander Simonchik has replied to original post author and has shown a better way to add custom field to product in PS1.5. I'm using a method he's presented, but there is a small problem with that - it creates a tab in product edit page and that tab is named according to module name. So I asked Alexander if it's possible to rename it to something else (and quoted a right post).

 

No offence, as I don't want to start a flame here, but after my explanation do you still think that my question was out of topic?

[vekia]

you will need to rename the module

[motzel]

you will need to rename the module

 

That's an easy way     I'd like to have one name in modules list and another in tab name. Is it possible to change it without renaming the module? I've looked at the PS sources, but it looks like it's a mission impossible :-(

[diwasas]

I'm using this free module sample to add new video url field to the product. Everything works fine, I can see new data in product.tpl, but I cant get data to product-list.tpl what is very important to me, I want to add play button to each product. I found that for this purpose I have to use hookActionProductListOverride function but no luck with that. Anyone can help me?

    public function hookDisplayAdminProductsExtra($params) {
        $id_product = Tools::getValue('id_product');
        $sampleObj = Belvg_Sample::loadByIdProduct($id_product);
        if(!empty($sampleObj) && isset($sampleObj->id)){
            $this->context->smarty->assign(array(
                'belvg_textarea' => $sampleObj->textarea,
            ));
        }
        
        return $this->display(__FILE__, 'views/admin/sample.tpl');
    }
    
    public function hookActionProductUpdate($params) {
        $id_product = Tools::getValue('id_product');
        $sampleObj = Belvg_Sample::loadByIdProduct($id_product);
        $sampleObj->textarea = Tools::getValue('belvg_sample');
        $sampleObj->id_product = $id_product;
        
        if(!empty($sampleObj) && isset($sampleObj->id)){
            $sampleObj->update();
        } else {
            $sampleObj->add();
        }
    }
    
    public function hookDisplayFooterProduct($params) {
        $id_product = Tools::getValue('id_product');
        $sampleObj = Belvg_Sample::loadByIdProduct($id_product);
        if(!empty($sampleObj) && isset($sampleObj->id)){
            $this->context->smarty->assign(array(
                'belvg_textarea' => $sampleObj->textarea,
            ));
        }
        
        echo $sampleObj->textarea;
    }
        
}

Alex Simonchik BelVG, I was looking at http://schema.org/Offer for the parameter category which could be http://schema.org/Thing with an additionalType parameter to define the category from say goodrelations or use the sameAs field to define the prototypycal classifcation the semantic category concept.

 

Using the default template and hooks in the category creation menu, how would you see extending prestashop further for semantic SEO?

[WebMadeFun]

First of all a big big thank you to Alex Simonchik BelVG This module saved me a lot of hours working!

 

I would like to add few notes for those who need to add save buttons on the end of the admin buttons and enable the tinymce editor

 

HOW TO ADD SAVE BUTTONS

 

Open the /views/admin/sample.tpl file and at the bottom of the file place this piece of code

	<div class="panel-footer">
		<a href="{$link->getAdminLink('AdminProducts')|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" class="btn btn-default"><i class="process-icon-cancel"></i> {l s='Cancel'}</a>
		<button type="submit" name="submitAddproduct" class="btn btn-default pull-right"><i class="process-icon-save"></i> {l s='Save'}</button>
		<button type="submit" name="submitAddproductAndStay" class="btn btn-default pull-right"><i class="process-icon-save"></i> {l s='Save and stay'}</button>
	</div>

HOW TO TURN ON THE TinyMCE EDITOR

 

1. On the /views/admin/sample.tpl file replace the <textarea>.... </textarea> piece of code with this

<textarea class="autoload_rte" name="belvg_sample" rows="10" cols="45">{if isset($belvg_textarea)}{$belvg_textarea}{/if}</textarea>

2. On the /views/front/sample.tpl replace the code that you see there with this (actually you just remove some piece of coding but I am pasting the entire code in order to avoid confusions)

{if isset($belvg_textarea)}
<!-- Belvg_SampleModule -->
	{$belvg_textarea}
<div class="clear"> </div>
<!-- /Belvg_SampleModule -->
{/if}

And here is the new back office http://prntscr.com/5c3x98 and live shop http://prntscr.com/5c3xu6 (I didn't hooked it yet to the right position, I just wanted to show you how it looks)

 

Prestashop version 1.6.0.9

[wakabayashi]

Alex, thanks a lot for this tutorial/module! It still works like a charme. I have a question. I would like to display the custom field on invoice, when a product is ordered. Is this hard to achieve? Somebody can tell me how this works?
