Prestashop Reserved Words

[jfpwork]

Do not use word "token" as SQL table field for example.

 

This make confusion between your field and prestashop querystring token parameter in Back-Office

 

Avoid invalid security token in BO.

 

You have to use an other word as "chip" or "counter".

token is not a reserved word of Prestashop, but a technical reserved/defined word. See what is a token: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_token

 

for the other two: counter and chip, I cannot confirm that they are reserved. Where are you seeing this ?

[jfpwork]

Yep as you say, the word "token" is used everywhere in web security concept.

Prestashop used it.

It's not a bug just a reminder.

 

I just note:

Use "token" as a SQL field name, you will get issue in Back-Office:

- Invalid security modal for example.

- cannot Create/Update the database table in which token field exist. 

So a solution could be to set another fieldname as "chip" or "counter" ( or "whatyouwant")

In which table on database are you seeing a field called "token" ? There are none (and it's a developer knowledge that you cannot use this word as a field ), exact for the reason I told you.

Did you tried to use it ?

[jfpwork]

"token" never used in prestashop tables as you say, and as i dont check

Nevertheless, it's just to finalize the topic,

never heard using "token" is avoid as SQL field name using WSSE for example.
