how to make customization filed supports other format

[sarasallam]

Hi,

I wish you can help me with the customization filed within product,

Is there any way we can allow customer to customize product by uploading doc file?
Because it only allows pictures , how to add other supported formats.

That's really weird, whey it says "file fields" but only allows pictures.

I'm afraid that, you have to do quite much customization here.

 

1. Add a new type in BO > product page.

Look at the code in /admin/themes/default/template/controllers/products/customization.tpl

And do the similar thing.

For example, you can add the third type: "My fields".

 

2. Show your custom fields at FE > product page:

Refer to the file /themes/default-bootstrap/product.tpl, then look up section "< ! - - Customization - - >"

 

3. Accept custom fields from your users

Open /controllers/front/ProductController.php, and locate to ProductControllerCore::initContent(), this is the right place for you:

			if (Tools::isSubmit('submitCustomizedDatas'))
			{
				// If cart has not been saved, we need to do it so that customization fields can have an id_cart
				// We check that the cookie exists first to avoid ghost carts
				if (!$this->context->cart->id && isset($_COOKIE[$this->context->cookie->getName()]))
				{
					$this->context->cart->add();
					$this->context->cookie->id_cart = (int)$this->context->cart->id;
				}
				$this->pictureUpload();
				$this->uploadMyFields();// Here you go, of course, create your own function "uploadMyFields" to handle uploading. It should be similiar to $this->pictureUpload();
				$this->textRecord();
				$this->formTargetFormat();
			}

4. If you don't know how to process uploading a file (rather than images), back to BO > Product page > Attachment and study how Prestashop does the same thing.

 

Hope this helps!
