Hi,

I need a solution or module which would allow me to have additional tab in product description as seen on sample picture. It can not be "features tab" due to its limitation with characters but new tab with possibility to enter html code, etc...

Each product should have its own unique description.

Does anyone know for solution like this, is there any module for this.


Please advise ;)


Kind regards,
TineChem

This module might help.


This module does not give you the option to have unique description for each product.

I saw many people asking for extra tab in product description, where you could edit text using tinymce. This would be very useful in many shops. Are there any plans to do something like that in the future presta upgrades or is there anyone who can make this module?

Kind regards,

tineChem

Hi,

Ok, here it is(these changes were for ps1.2.5, for newer version read ahead the other posts).

In my case I needed two additional tab so you should adapt my modifications to your needs.

First of all I needed to alter the prestashop product_lang table

ALTER TABLE `myschema`.`myprefix_product_lang` ADD COLUMN `description2` TEXT NULL DEFAULT NULL  AFTER `description` ;
ALTER TABLE `myschema`.`myprefix_product_lang` ADD COLUMN `composition` TEXT NULL DEFAULT NULL  AFTER `description` ;

Then I needed to modify these files:

/classes/Product.php

/admin/tabs/AdminProducts.php

/themes/mytheme/product.tpl

changes to /classes/Product.php

my changes are enclosed with

/* pe extention composition */

add these instance variables around line 50 after the $description var definition

/** @var string Long description */
public		 $description;
/** pe extention composition*/
public		 $description2;
public		 $composition;	
/** pe extention composition*/
...

then find the line with :

protected $fieldsValidateLang = array( ......

end change it like this (in my case )

protected $fieldsValidateLang = array(
								'meta_description' => 'isGenericName', 'meta_keywords' => 'isGenericName',
								'meta_title' => 'isGenericName', 'link_rewrite' => 'isLinkRewrite', 'name' => 'isCatalogName',
								'description' => 'isCleanHtml',
								'description_short' => 'isCleanHtml',
								'available_now' => 'isGenericName',
								'available_later' => 'IsGenericName',
/* pe extention composition */
								'description2' => 'isCleanHtml',
								'composition' => 'isCleanHtml',
/*pe extention composition */
								);

then find this function : static public function getNewProducts(....) around line 1000

and modify the sentence around line 1050 , it should look like this after modifying it.

	$result = Db::getInstance()->ExecuteS('
		SELECT p.*, pl.`description`, ' .
		/**pe extention composition */
		' pl.`description2`, pl.`composition`,'.
		/**pe fin extention composition */		  
		'   pl.`description_short`, pl.`link_rewrite`, pl.`meta_description`, pl.`meta_keywords`, pl.`meta_title`, pl.`name`, p.`ean13`,
			i.`id_image`, il.`legend`, t.`rate`, m.`name` AS manufacturer_name, DATEDIFF(p.`date_add`, DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL '.(Validate::isUnsignedInt(Configuration::get('PS_NB_DAYS_NEW_PRODUCT')) ? Configuration::get('PS_NB_DAYS_NEW_PRODUCT') : 20).' DAY)) > 0 AS new,
			(p.`price` * ((100 + (t.`rate`))/100) - IF((DATEDIFF(`reduction_from`, CURDATE()) <= 0 AND DATEDIFF(`reduction_to`, CURDATE()) >=0) OR `reduction_from` = `reduction_to`, IF(`reduction_price` > 0, `reduction_price`, (p.`price` * ((100 + (t.`rate`))/100) * `reduction_percent` / 100)),0)) AS orderprice
		FROM `'._DB_PREFIX_.'product` p
		LEFT JOIN `'._DB_PREFIX_.'product_lang` pl ON (p.`id_product` = pl.`id_product` AND pl.`id_lang` = '.intval($id_lang).')
		LEFT JOIN `'._DB_PREFIX_.'image` i ON (i.`id_product` = p.`id_product` AND i.`cover` = 1)
		LEFT JOIN `'._DB_PREFIX_.'image_lang` il ON (i.`id_image` = il.`id_image` AND il.`id_lang` = '.intval($id_lang).')
		LEFT JOIN `'._DB_PREFIX_.'tax` t ON (t.`id_tax` = p.`id_tax`)
		LEFT JOIN `'._DB_PREFIX_.'manufacturer` m ON (m.`id_manufacturer` = p.`id_manufacturer`)
		WHERE p.`active` = 1
		AND DATEDIFF(p.`date_add`, DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL '.(Validate::isUnsignedInt(Configuration::get('PS_NB_DAYS_NEW_PRODUCT')) ? Configuration::get('PS_NB_DAYS_NEW_PRODUCT') : 20).' DAY)) > 0
		AND p.`id_product` IN ('.$productsList.')
		ORDER BY '.(isset($orderByPrefix) ? pSQL($orderByPrefix).'.' : '').'`'.pSQL($orderBy).'` '.pSQL($orderWay).'
		LIMIT '.intval($pageNumber * $nbProducts).', '.intval($nbProducts));

.. continue

then find this function

static public function getRandomSpecial($id_lang, $beginning = false, $ending = false)

end modify the select statement , it shoud look like this after that.

       $row = Db::getInstance()->getRow('
       SELECT p.*, pl.`description`,'.
       /*pe extention composition */
           ' pl.`description2`, pl.`composition`,'.
       /*pe fin extention composition */                   
           'pl.`description_short`, pl.`link_rewrite`, pl.`meta_description`, pl.`meta_keywords`, pl.`meta_title`, pl.`name`, p.`ean13`,
           i.`id_image`, il.`legend`, t.`rate`

       LEFT JOIN `'._DB_PREFIX_.'category_product` cp ON (cp.`id_product` = p.`id_product`)
       INNER JOIN `'._DB_PREFIX_.'category_group` ctg ON (ctg.`id_category` = cp.`id_category`)
       '.($cookie->id_customer ? 'INNER JOIN `'._DB_PREFIX_.'customer_group` cg ON (cg.`id_group` = ctg.`id_group`)' : '').'
       WHERE (`reduction_price` > 0 OR `reduction_percent` > 0)
       '.((!$beginning AND !$ending) ?
           'AND (`reduction_from` = `reduction_to` OR (`reduction_from` <= \''.pSQL($currentDate).'\' AND `reduction_to` >= \''.pSQL($currentDate).'\'))'
       :
           ($beginning ? 'AND `reduction_from` <= \''.pSQL($beginning).'\'' : '').($ending ? 'AND `reduction_to` >= \''.pSQL($ending).'\'' : '')).'
       AND p.`active` = 1
       AND ('.($cookie->id_customer ? 'cg.`id_customer` = '.intval($cookie->id_customer).' OR' : '').' ctg.`id_group` = 1)
       ORDER BY RAND()');



and this function

static public function getPricesDrop
modify the select after the line with this statement
$currentDate = date('Y-m-d');

   $currentDate = date('Y-m-d');
       $sql = '
       SELECT p.*, pl.`description`,'.
       /*pe extention composition */

       FROM `'._DB_PREFIX_.'product` p

       '.($cookie->id_customer ? 'INNER JOIN `'._DB_PREFIX_.'customer_group` cg ON (cg.`id_group` = ctg.`id_group`)' : '').'

       LIMIT '.intval($pageNumber * $nbProducts).', '.intval($nbProducts);




The next thing we need to modify is
/themes/mythemes/product.tpl
around line 360 look at this section 

<!-- description and features -->
{if $product->description || $features || $accessories || $HOOK_PRODUCT_TAB || $attachments}

<!-- description and features -->
{if $product->description || $product->description2 || $product->composition || $features || $accessories || $HOOK_PRODUCT_TAB || $attachments}


       {if $product->description}{l s='More info'}{/if}
       <!-- pe extention composition -->
       {if $product->description2}{l s='Description2'}{/if}
       {if $product->composition}{l s='Composition'}{/if}
       <!-- pe extention composition -->
       {if $features}{l s='Data sheet'}{/if}
       {if $attachments}{l s='Download'}{/if}
       {if isset($accessories) AND $accessories}{l s='Accessories'}{/if}
       {$HOOK_PRODUCT_TAB}


   {if $product->description}
       <!-- full description -->
{$product->description}
   {/if}
        <!-- pe extention composition -->
   {if $product->description2}
       <!-- full description -->
{$product->description2}        
   {/if}    
   {if $product->composition}
       <!-- full description -->
{$product->composition}        
   {/if}
        <!-- pe extention composition -->

       ..... the rest of the template doesnt need modification

Thank you very much for posting your solution.
I am using Prestashop version 1.3.1.1

Your version of Prestashop files manages languages differently than mine.
I was unable to find, in my files, the language management code you changed.
So, I'd like to post the changes to language code I had to make to get this to work:

/classes/Product.php

After:

$fields[$language['id_lang']]['description'] = (isset($this->description[$language['id_lang']])) ? pSQL($this->description[$language['id_lang']], true) : '';

Add:

$fields[$language['id_lang']]['extra_content_name_here'] = (isset($this->extra_content_name_here[$language['id_lang']])) ? pSQL($this->extra_content_name_here[$language['id_lang']], true) : '';

I cant get it to work. I do get the interface in the admin panel but when i try to add data i get the error:

(Unknown column 'description2' in 'field list'

Any ideas?

Thanx


Prestashop can't find the column in the database.

The user, ezakimak, mentioned the changes needed in the database, but his SQL code requires personalization. For most users, the SQL code should look like:
ALTER TABLE `ps_product_lang` ADD COLUMN `description2` TEXT NULL DEFAULT NULL  AFTER `description` ;
ALTER TABLE `ps_product_lang` ADD COLUMN `composition` TEXT NULL DEFAULT NULL  AFTER `description` ;



Be sure to follow all of ezakimak's code changes. If you miss one, it still won't work.

I'm using this module: conseil utilisation from Bretagne. Works perfect and you can select the products on a drop-down list where you can add extra text.

I bought it at presta-shop, but now I don't find it anymore there, perhaps you can ask on contact form there ?

I tried to google this "conseil utilisation from Bretagne" module
but... with no good luck. Anybody else knows where to find it?

It is a very important and useful addition to the PS detail page.
In my particular case, I would like to put into this extra tab
the ToC (Table of Contents) of each of my products (books).

Of course, I am sure that everybody else
would easily find a good use out of this extra tab module.

Thank you from Kolkata (Calcutta)

Hi everybody !!
I am glad that many people had found this useful and I would like to ask for your help, I am not an expert in PHP nor Smarty Template, not even in Prestashop, so I would really appreciate if someone here can give some advices on how to write a module from these changes I made to the base code, I think this way many people could take advantage of the code I changed to have these extra tabs.

Regards

Hugh

Hi Thanks for the fast response.

I had seen your mods in the earlier posts but being a non coder I would be lost trying to undertake the changes and hoped it might be possible to just replace the original with the changed files - if that were possible. I might just cope with that.

I agree it would be good to have a module that could fix this.

It seems the guys at PS seem to miss the basics and go for to much wizzy stuff.

I am experimenting with using the cms facility or perhaps linking to pdf data files but so far its not as claen a solyion as I would like.

Thanks

Hi there!

I have made all the instructions that are written on this post but i can't get this "module" to work.
I've made the changes in classes/Product.php and theme/product.tpl with no problems or issues. But i'm having a problem with the file AdminProducts.php
I've downloaded the archive AdminProducts.php, but when i search for the resquested line of code it appears like this:

$divLangName = 'cname¤cdesc¤cdesc2¤ccomposition¤cdesc_short¤clink_rewrite¤cmeta_description¤cmeta_title¤cmeta_keywords¤ctags¤cavailable_now¤cavailable_later';

and when i paste it on the requested line it won't work.
In the backoffice of my page nothing appear's on add product page.
Am i doing anything wrong? Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

What does "¤" means?

And another question. The original line
/* original
$divLangName = 'cname¤cdesc¤cdesc_short¤clink_rewrite¤cmeta_description¤cmeta_title¤cmeta_keywords¤ctags¤cavailable_now¤cavailable_later';
*/
it's not present on stock AdminProducts.php

I'm waiting for a response.
Sorry about my bad english.

Merry Christmas to all!
Regards

Attention, pour que l'enregistrement en base soit correct, vous devez également ajouter les 2 lignes suivantes dans le fichier classes/Product.php :

$fields[$language['id_lang']]['description2'] = (isset($this->description2[$language['id_lang']])) ? pSQL($this->description2[$language['id_lang']], true) : '';
$fields[$language['id_lang']]['composition'] = (isset($this->composition[$language['id_lang']])) ? pSQL($this->composition[$language['id_lang']], true) : '';



Après la ligne suivante dans la fonction public function getTranslationsFieldsChild() :

$fields[$language['id_lang']]['description'] = (isset($this->description[$language['id_lang']])) ? pSQL($this->description[$language['id_lang']], true) : '';

Hi, for ps1.4.0.17 I think these changes are enough
please make a backup of your files before aplying these changes and make sure to add the extra columns to your product table in your database

regards

Hugh

ps. put the Product.php in the /override/classes directory and the adminproducts.php in /youradmindir/tabs/ and the product.tpl in your theme dir.
Dont forget that my changes are always inside these /*pe extention */

By the way is there a way to override the admin*classes.php the same way we can override the other classes nw in ps1.47 ?

Thanks, this is a brilliant mod and relatively simple to install.

Just one small thing the comments in product.tpl are the wrong type, you used /* pe .. */ when only <!-- pe ex... --> will work.

( You might of missed this in testing, perhaps you did not delete the files 'tools/smarty/compile'. I must admit that got me confused, having made the corrections and then they didn't seem to get applied. )

sorry but it does not work for me. On Bo now I have no products showing anymore. Also the lines posted are not correct in the files of version 1.4.0.17. There are some header addings now. I made the changes by looking for equivalent code. and also added the $fields[language lines.
Cleared smarty cache. cleared browser. No products on BO.

Can somebody please post here an original 1.4.0.17 adapted /classes/products.php ? Mine is not working.

Also the AdminProducts in /admin/tabs is not an dapted 1.4.0.17, but an 1.x, so it need to be revised for version 1.4. to put it to work.

Hi,

al the code changes from post 6 to 9 in here. The changes for/admin/tabs/AdminProducts.php in post 8 I tried, but the original 1.4.0.17 contains other code as the file AdminProducts.php attached in post #8 (which seems to be from an 1.3. version).

At final I added the files from #36 to the directory stated there and saw that again is attached an new /admin/tabs/Adminproducts.php in there, which is also different in code as the original 1.4.01.7. Some parts to adapt ok, but there are basics also changed, nothing related to your nex Tabs description2 and composition.

Hi all,

First, Congratulations to ezakimak and everyone who helped maintaining this solution for creating new tabs in the product page.

My question is simple : is it possible that the contents of the newly created tabs are the same for every product? (without copy/paste the same HTML code on every back-office product page, of course !)

Thank you all.

I agree with you, and any help to accomplish that is welcome.

On the other hand, now with the new Prestashop architecture(thanks to the ps team !! ) it is easier to upgrade

Hugo

 

 

Only issue with this solution is that you cannot upgrade PrestaShop each time they come out with a security patch or new version. Would be best if this was solved by hooking in or a more modular way that avoids modifying the core code files.

Hi Hugo,

 

I'm using ps 1.3.7. Followed all your step but it did not work. White page display.

So, could you please help me to solved this problem?

 

Thanks,

Huan

 

Do you get empty page in admin or front office? Try to enable the debug mode in config/config.inc.php - change display_errors to 'on' and _PS_DEBUG_SQL_ to true. This should help you to find out what's wrong.

Hi webplus,

Those were my first attemps to modify the product class in order to get the extra tab to work, I guess they are not needed to be modified, I think we only need to change the getfields method

 

Thanks for your suggestion

Regards

Hugo

 

Great work, thanks for sharing! One question - is it neccessary to modify getRandomSpecial, getPricesDrop and getNewProducts functions? It seems to be working fine without that change for me.

Exactly, my problem is from AdminProducts.php. When I replaced attached file (Hugo mentioned), back office did not work.

Can you please help me modified this AdminProducts.php? You could download it from attached.

Thanks a lot,

AdminProducts.php

You do not have to replace the file, instead look inside the code the changes needed for you installation, those changes where between /* pe .... */ comments

 

hope that helps

Hi Huan,

Hi,

 

I need a solution or module which would allow me to have additional tab in product description as seen on sample picture. It can not be "features tab" due to its limitation with characters but new tab with possibility to enter html code, etc...

 

Each product should have its own unique description.

 

Does anyone know for solution like this, is there any module for this.

 

 

Please advise ;)

 

 

Kind regards,

TineChem

 

Hi,

Our module support this. You can take a look at here

Thanks

Hi ezakimak, the solution was working for me till version 1.4.9. Yesterday it was released 1.5.0.17 as final. I'm trying to add the tabs here to

 

/controllers/admin/AdminProductController.php

and also on this file

/admin/themes/default/template/controllers/products/information.tpl

 

But it is not working. Can please somebody help me to adapt ?

 

/override/Product.php I've already added and in front-office the tabs are available, but cannot find or adapt the tpl for the BO to have the second description available on product.

 

I need to use ezakimak's fix, because all other buying modules does not meet my needs. It is not possible for me to maintain a catalog of 9.000 products on the base to have the tab as an extra feature, for afterwards link a product to a specific tab. I need this extra description exactly under the product description so IN the product and nearby description 1. So please don't link me to buying modules not working by this way.

@MegVenture - sorry, but this is not the same. You are adding external files. The module here is adding 2 extra tabs which you can add extra text on product. Please Edit your post by deleting your advertisement. Otherwise a moderator will delete it. Thank you.

I got it. For PS 1.5. there is no /controllers/admin/AdminProductController.php anymore.

 

You must add this code to your:

 

/admin/themes/default/template/controllers/products/informations.tpl about line 254 after the block for DESCRIPTION

 

<td class="col-left">
 {include file="controllers/products/multishop/checkbox.tpl" field="description2" type="tinymce" multilang="true"}
 <label>{l s='Description2:'}<br /></label>
 <p class="product_description">({l s='appears in the body of the product page'})</p>
</td>
<td style="padding-bottom:5px;">
  {include file="controllers/products/textarea_lang.tpl" languages=$languages
  input_name='description2'
  input_value=$product->description2
  }
 <p class="clear"></p>
</td>
  </tr>
		<td class="col-left">
 {include file="controllers/products/multishop/checkbox.tpl" field="composition" type="tinymce" multilang="true"}
 <label>{l s='Composition:'}<br /></label>
 <p class="product_description">({l s='appears in the body of the product page'})</p>
</td>
<td style="padding-bottom:5px;">
  {include file="controllers/products/textarea_lang.tpl" languages=$languages
  input_name='composition'
  input_value=$product->composition
  }
 <p class="clear"></p>
</td>
  </tr>

 

This will than show both extra tabs on the product page tab "information" on BO. All other instructions are the same as for PS 1.4. written in Post#36 herein.

Hi cd2500,

 

If possible, could you please write the instruction step by step how to use this solution in PS 1.5. We'll very appreciate.

I'm also use this solution in PS 1.4 and it works fine but when upgrade my shop to PS 1.5, I don't know how to make it work.

 

Thank you,
