Add custom field in category

[cemo]

Hi,
 
I need to add a custom field in categories.

I have followed this tutorial : http://www.paulineghiazza.fr/prestashop-1-5-ajouter-un-champ-pour-les-categories-et-activer-lediteur/

 
I've added the new column in the table ps_category_lang (named "champ_h1")

 

I've added the following line in $definition in the class Category : 
 'champ_h1' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isCatalogName', 'size' => 128),

 

In AdminCategoriesController.php,

 

I've updated $this->fields_list in the constructor with

 

'champ_h1' => array(

'title' => $this->l('H1')

),

 

And $this->fields_form in renderForm() with : 

array(

'type' => 'text',

'label' => $this->l('H1'),

'name' => 'champ_h1',

'lang' => true,

'hint' => $this->l('Invalid characters:').' <>;=#{}',

),

 

 

When I navigate in the categories, a column H1 is now there.

The input H1 is also there in the form

If I put some value in the input and save the form, it's correctly save ine the database.

If I navigate in the categories, the column H1 is filled with the value for the category, and I can make search on it.

 

 

But if I come back in the form, the field is empty.

And if I use {$category->champ_h1} in category.tpl, it's empty too.

 

 

 

Can you help me plz ?

Maybe have a look here, where I added a second description field:

(Examples for 1.4,1.5,1.6 there available)

 

Maybe that helps
