How to extend max lenght of customer name

[cernicektomas]

Hi,

please I have one simple beginner question.

 

In which file I can change max lenght of some customer values - eg. name, surname, company etc. - in PrestaShop 1.6.1.5.

 

Thank you very much in advance.

The sizes are all in the $definition variable in classes/Customer.php. Let's say you have customers with really long surnames and you want to increase the maximum length to 64. You can override the maximum size by creating override/classes/Customer.php like this:

<?php

class Customer extends CustomerCore
{
    public function __construct($id = null)
    {
        CustomerCore::$definition['fields']['lastname']['size'] = 64;

        parent::__construct();
    }
}

This will increase the maximum size of the last name from 32 to 64. Note that you'll need to also edit the ps_customer table in your database using phpMyAdmin and change the size of lastname from varchar(32) to varchar(64).

 

You can add more lines like above if you need to increase the maximum size of more customer variables. You can find the names of the variables in classes/Customer.php.

 

After making these changes, go to the Advanced Parameters > Performance tab and then click the "Clear cache" button (or manually delete cache/class_index.php) so PrestaShop can find the override.

It is missing one thing: You have to pass the $id to the parent construct:

<?php

class Customer extends CustomerCore
{
    public function __construct($id = null)
    {
        CustomerCore::$definition['fields']['lastname']['size'] = 64;

        parent::__construct($id);
    }
}

But thanks for this code, It was really helpful.
