Adding a new field to the Information tab in the Product Back Office

[mzfp]

Hi All,

 

I'm working on a module for a website which requires the presence of a custom textfield displayed while editing the product in the backoffice, preferably in the Information tab.

 

I'd like to this without needing to modify any files outside of the files in my module folder (via module hooks or something similar). I've seen a couple of tutorials but they require the edit of AdminTabs.php which I want to desperately avoid!

 

Before I invest too much time into this, I was wondering firstly, if this was even possible under Prestashop 1.5x ? And if it is, how I would go about implementing it.

 

many thanks for your help in advance.

As far as I know, there is a hook in the back office to add tabs to the product page (at least, there was in 1.4), but to add a block in that specific information tab you'll definitely need to edit the admin tabs.

Please, anyone correct me if I'm wrong!

Hi Nemo,

 

Thanks for your helpful insight. I suspected as much and will add a new tab in that case to avoid editing files outside of the module directory.

Yep.

Just as a reference, it was hookBackOfficeTop in 1.4. I hope they preserved it, even though it's not present in their official list on the Docs
