hooks actionproductsave VS actionproductupdate

[Mr S]

I am adding tab to my back office (PS 1.5) product page with a module,.

 

Should i use hookActionProductSave or hookActionProductUpdate to update the users input for the item.

[Mr S]

Just nod if you can hear me

Is there anyone at this prestashop form?

Hi,

 

I don't know if you find any answer somewhere else, but I recently encountered the same problem.

Both hook seem to be called when you save a product:

first hookActionProductSave, then hookActionProductUpdate.

 

I did not find any documentation on how to use them, so I use both.

[Mr S]

Thanks @keutche,

 

I just used hookActionProductUpdate in my case I only need to hook once the product has been created. so my code runs only if there is a update.

Hi, it's probably dead question, but I've got the answer, so maybe someone would use it.

 

actionProductSave is called when product has been saved For example when user changes some values of product, like price, name, quantity etc.

actionProductUpdate is also called in this case just after actionProductSave.

 

But actionProductUpdate is also called when you change the position of product in a list. You don't change any product value, so actionProductSave is not called.
