Search products by upc in admin panel

[FCP]

Hi, quick question

 

is it possible to search products by UPC from the admin panel without using the advanced stock management?

 

Basically I would just like to have the UPC filter in the "catalog > products" page, exactly as it is for "reference", "category" or "product name", without having to move to the stock section

 

I also tried to search by UPC using the generic search box at the top but no product is found so I guess the search doesn't run on the UPC field at all

Hello!

 

If you want to add a filter to your product list in the backoffice, this is what you should do:

 

Go to /catalog/controllers/admin/ and open AdminProductsController.php

 

You go to line ~180-200 where you find a list of array's like so:

$this->fields_list = array();
 $this->fields_list['id_product'] = array(
  'title' => $this->l('ID'),
  'align' => 'center',
  'width' => 20
 );
 $this->fields_list['image'] = array(
  'title' => $this->l('Photo'),
  'align' => 'center',
  'image' => 'p',
  'width' => 70,
  'orderby' => false,
  'filter' => false,
  'search' => false
 );
 $this->fields_list['name'] = array(
  'title' => $this->l('Name'),
  'filter_key' => 'b!name'
 );
 $this->fields_list['reference'] = array(
  'title' => $this->l('Reference'),
  'align' => 'left',
  'width' => 80
 );

 

Then you can copy/paste one of the array's and assign another field to use, for instance:

 

$this->fields_list['reference'] = array(
  'title' => $this->l('Reference'),
  'align' => 'left',
  'width' => 80
 );

Becomes:

$this->fields_list['upc'] = array(
  'title' => $this->l('UPC'),
  'align' => 'left',
  'width' => 80
 );

 

 

Edit: You probably shouldnt mess around in the original AdminProductsController.php , the ideal solution is to use the controller overrides function.

In PS 1.5.5 this works :

$this->fields_list['ean13'] = array(
            'title' => $this->l('EAN'),
            'align' => 'left',
            'width' => 80
        );
