EAN 13 validation. How to avoid?

[iconnect]

Hello,

I have a large catalog (over 5000 products) and I use csv to import and icecat to make better descriptions.

Now, I have an issue: I imported all the EAN using the product reference instead of the EAN13. This is because not always my EAN numbers are of 13 numbers and the CSV import tool was preventing to import as he used to check the size.
To find the product, icecat import module I'm using it looks over EAN13 to find the products. Of course, my EAN13 field are all empty and those codes are under the product reference. I'm wondering how to resolve this issue. Easier way, I guess, would be to AVOID the validation of the EAN during import, so I would be able to import shorter/larger references in the proper field and icecat module will automatically scraping all infos.

 

This is the custom module I'm using: https://addons.prestashop.com/it/product-tab/17861-icecat-integration.html

 

Thanks in advance for everyone who will reply.

To avoid the validation, open classes/Product.php, look for this line

            'ean13' =>                        array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isEan13', 'size' => 13),

Remove the "validate" part
