Adding custom product fields

[Daniel Patilea]

I am trying to add some custom fields on my prestashop backend and, when filled, to show up in frontend. Here are some examples of what I want to implement:

Nemo1, I followed your code but it seems I omitted something I think:

 

Thanks for your answer vekia! The information will show up on the front page?

[vekia]

yes it will appear in front page.

 

take a look how to create textarea:

{include file="controllers/products/textarea_lang.tpl" languages=$languages
input_name='description'
input_value=$product->description
}

Thanks vekia!

I am new to Prestashop so i'm a real pain. Where should i place this code?

[vekia]

there where you placed code for:

 

instead of:

input_name='description'
input_value=$product->description

use your field name and also your field input value (instead of product->description)

I've done this but it doesn't save the data fron the textarea. Can you tell why?

Here's the code i use:

<tr>

<td class="col-left">
{include file="controllers/products/multishop/checkbox.tpl" field="name" type="default" multilang="true"}
<label>{l s="What's Included"}</label>
</td>

<td style="padding-bottom:5px;" class="translatable">
{foreach from=$languages item=language}
<div class="lang_{$language.id_lang}" style="{if !$language.is_default}display: none;{/if} float: left;">
{include file="controllers/products/textarea_lang.tpl" languages=$languages input_name='extra_description' input_value=$product->extra_description}
</div>
{/foreach}
</td>

</tr>

Have you correctly overridden the product class?

[Daniel Patilea]

Here is the code that works with textfield:

<td style="padding-bottom:5px;" class="translatable">
{foreach from=$languages item=language}
<div class="lang_{$language.id_lang}" style="{if !$language.is_default}display: none;{/if} float: left;">

<input size="43" type="text" {if !$product->id}disabled="disabled"{/if}
id="extra_description_{$language.id_lang}" name="extra_description_{$language.id_lang}"
value="{$product->extra_description[$language.id_lang]|htmlentitiesUTF8|default:''}"/><sup> *</sup>

</div>
{/foreach}
</td>
