How to set alias automatically when create address in backoffice?

[liyinan]

Hi,

 

I'd like to set alias to address1 automatically when creating an address in backoffice. I have checked AdminAddressesController.php but I don't know how the settings were saved.

 

Could someone tell me how to where can I find useful information about prestashop developing, when I try to add a new function I don't know which file should I change.

 

Thank you.

Hi Liyinan,

 

What is your version of Prestashop?

 

In the version 1.6.1.4 (In use here) the field is present in the form. More exactly: it is the 3rd field.

 

Maybe I am not understanding well what you are trying to achieve or you are running on an old version...

Thank you for your reply.

 

I use 1.6.1.6 . the alias for address is somehow a little confusion for some of the customers. so I hide this from the form but set it to address1+name. In front office, I modified Addresscontroller.php and made it by adding  $address->alias=$address->address1.' '.$address->firstname; in function processSubmitAddress(). 

for BO, I don't know how to modify AdminAddressController.php, the code is quit different.
