Add Custom Fields to Categories and Products

[Iveen Duarte]

I am migrating from a different platform into Prestashop 8.2, I'd llke to retain the category id and parent id from my other platform stored in the Categories, how can I extend that or have custom information added to it (searchable also).

As per the Products, I have a reference field in my current platform, that serves as a search keyword for a group of products, so when you search using that term, it will display a list of products matching this information, is it possible to have something like it in Prestashop.

Hi,

1. What platform are you using? - retaining the ids when transferring your data is not trivial as the IDs are auto-incremented in the Prestashop side.

2. You wither need to modify the search module of Prestashop or use a filtering module like LiveFilter PRO to filter your products based on various information.
