add side tabs (presented in adminProduct) to adminSupplier

[MrGumby]

Using PrestaShop 1.6.0.5

 

I currently develop highly customized XML feed import. I need to store basic information about feed from each supplier. I would like to be able to see and edit feed data on supplier page in back office. Because it will occupy lots of fields, I would like to have it on separate tab. I mean side tab, as presented when editing product in BO.

 

I inspect adminProductController and find properties and methods, that handles this behavior. I presume, that I need to copy this properties and methods to adminSupplietController override, but it surely will be more complex. I would probably need to create new templates and maybe rearrange the whole supplier controller.

 

I tried find some topics about this, but without success. Did anybody have any experience with this or do you have any things and thoughts, that will point me to the right direction, i.e. link to helpful page, or just anything?

 

Thanks in advance
