Letters in EAN13

[Cosmi]

Hello,

I'm developing a Prestashop website and my customer wants to show letters in EAN13 (which is product code).

So, the EAN13 might look like this: SDR2398J.

I tried to look in the database and to change the structure, but it seems to be something from the script.

Are there any chances to solve this issue?

Thank you!

The EAN13 is a 13-digit barcode. You shouldn't use it for reference numbers like that. You should use the Reference field for that. If you require two reference numbers, you will need to change line 157 of classes/Product.php (in PrestaShop v1.3.2) from:

protected $fieldsSize = array('reference' => 32, 'supplier_reference' => 32, 'location' => 64, 'ean13' => 13);

to:

protected $fieldsSize = array('reference' => 32, 'supplier_reference' => 32, 'location' => 64, /*'ean13' => 13*/);

and line 183 from:

'ean13' => 'isEan13'

to:

'ean13' => 'isReference'
