Change Product Add Date to affect New

[MariuszS]

Few years ago @David Eschmeyer and @studioneko write a code to change product add date.

But unfortunately its for prestashop 1.6 but i have 1.7.8

Is it possible to use it in Prestashop 1.7.8?

works in 1.6.1.x

Add it to line 132 (1.6.1.3) (after hard return) of: admin folder\themes\default\template\controllers\products\informations.tlp

 

{if $product->date_add}
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label col-lg-3"></td>
<span class="label-tooltip" data-toggle="tooltip"
                title="{l s='Change date for "product new from".'}">
{$bullet_common_field} {l s='New from'}
</span>
</label>
<div class="col-lg-3">
<input type="text" id="date_add" class="datepicker" name="date_add" value="{$product->date_add|escape:html:'UTF-8'}" />
</div>
</div>
{/if}

can't you change those dates over the database?

Have back ups before any touches on database and shop.

Every time I add a product that was imported a long time ago?
I could, but it's not very comfortable.

If you don't want to deal with db way. You can try, i.e https://mypresta.eu/modules/administration-tools/product-date-change.html

I still have to grasp the why.
No Offense, actually for many of the customization wishes of people running shops.

Hello, how are you? I don't understand, you don't want to change the product add date, you want it to be displayed differently in the template as if it were the current date? Is this correct?

[MariuszS]

I want the product for which I have changed the description, name, etc. to be displayed as "new product".
However, I don't want to do it manually every time in the database via PhpMyAdmin etc.
I would like to be able to do this through the store's administration panel. Preferably when editing a product.
I thought that the code I mentioned at the beginning could be easily adapted to Prestashop 1.7

Implement it in your store's template, add conditions in the template to check if the product is new, instead of relying on date_add, base it on date_upd.

Hi override Product.php function update().

/* added */
$this->date_add = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');

 

Or in your module add hook:

public function hookActionObjectProductUpdateAfter($params)
{
    $db = Db::getInstance();
    $db->execute("UPDATE "._DB_PREFIX_."product SET date_add = '".date('Y-m-d H:i:s')."' WHERE id_product = ".$params['object']->id);
    $db->execute("UPDATE "._DB_PREFIX_."product_shop SET date_add = '".date('Y-m-d H:i:s')."' WHERE id_product = ".$params['object']->id);
}
