[Reco-X]

How can i do this??? i need to add 5 custom field for products.

i found this:
http://www.webbax.ch/2011/06/24/comment-ajouter-un-nouveau-champ-sur-la-fiche-produit-et-dans-le-back-office-prestashop/

but i don't know if it is for the last version

Admin panel, catalog->product, click on a products. Click on Customization and add all the fields you need

[Reco-X]

mmmm it can't fix my problem, see i'm building a book store and i need some fields in all the items, like writer for example and i need to generate the importation and exportation with these fields and of course show the fields in the front-end.

 

EDIT: i forget it, i need to use the search function too

In this case, use attributes or feastures. Maybe features, setting up 'Author' as feature name, and the various names as values per products. You can import them as well

[Reco-X]

it sounds great, but i'm thinking.

i don't say it before but i'll create a section of dvd movies too (the most important form me) and i have 15.0000 items to upload in it, one field of these catalogue is "Actors" who has along 4 o 5 names minimum. Because of that i need to create the custom field i think.

 

Specifi i need for dvd section this:

code

name

name original

actors

director

review

url

minutes

year

 

what do you recommend me?

[NemoPS]

You can always split the actor names with commas. I still think a good result would be achieved with features

[prestamax]

thanks, features works great for this purpose ...

[prestamax]

How would the features be imported via csv? I tried a column for each feature but this doesn't work. The product import csv file doesn't have a feature example included. Does anybody have tips how to handle this?

[NemoPS]

I believe you set it up correctly. However, when you import you must choose 'feature' as the column, and then choose the appropirate feature from the list, or put the name (can't remember right now)

[prestamax]

I tried every possible option and finally I got it working by using just one column for features and entering all values the following way:

 

original title:Bobby Deerfield:1, cast:Al Pacino:2, Year:USA 1977:3

 

I cannot say that I like it that ALL features are pressed in one column now. This is not very handy if I have several features which again may have longer entries. Can anybody confirm that this is the way how features are handled now in csv import?

[prestamax]

Just figured out that I can drop the part with the position so at the end it's not too bad at all, perhaps even better than several columns . Thanks again for pointing me to the right direction ..

 

this is how the column of features is looking now in my csv file

original title:Bobby Deerfield, cast:Al Pacino, year:USA 1977

works great, I like it

[Reco-X]

i see, but is there a way to import/export each feature separately by columns and not all the features in one column??

[prestamax]

No, this seems to have changed. I didn't like it in the beginning but the more I think about it ... it is probably easier to insert it this way. The only thing that bothers me is that the layered navigation block doesn't seem to filter custom features.

well, i'll try it for now but i'm so convinced, because the exportation.

 

one question, the search function is working? for example if I search "Leonardo Dicaprio" and in one feature i have that name, the search give all the movies with this actor?

[prestamax]

there shouldn't be a problem as long as your search index is built correctly (preferences => search)

[Reco-X]

is this the only what to do this??

I recently added a tut on how to create totally custom fields, here it is

[prestamax]

Thank you for this very useful tutorial. It is very well explained and helps a lot to learn more about customization options. Custom fields could be the solution. Custom Features is the other option but unfortunately the layered navigation module doesn't reflect self defined custom features. I am wondering ... would there be a way to make custom fields filterable?

[nilskm]

Thank you for the demo. I wonder, if you add a custom field will this automatically appear in the web service to or would you have to add that to?

i read your tutorial, but i have a problem, when i edit or add a product in back office, the data not save correctly it's only modify the field with a empty value i don't know why, also if i modify the field in the bd with a value example value, i can't see the value in the backoffice.

[NemoPS]

I gess you missed a point where data is validated. Also, be sure you modify the tpl fiiles correctly, might be that as well

[Reco-X]

if was my mistake

Hi

 

Did anyone find a way to import custom features and have them indexed by layered navigation? I'm tryingto do the same thing and the import file is in the correct format, but none of the values of the particular features are shown in layered navigation and can't be selected when creating custom filters. Is this a bug? I don't really want to input temperature values between -40 to +40 for one filter and also lots of different weights in another filter.

 

Thanks for any help.

Great article!

In fact, in order to add new fields, you only need to:

 

1. Create them in the database.

2. Add a few lines into override/classes/Products.php

 

The rest - depending on the specific needs.

The article might also help with some other related needs.

Hello,

 

i Have used this link https://gist.github.com/kpodemski/21a37617b6b488590dc1

Made the changes and all is ok.

 

If you need to know the lines changes in the tpl file, just search "custom_field".

 

Thanks !

Hello,

 

I followed your guide: http://nemops.com/extending-prestashop-objects/#.VEL4ofldW4Y

 

and/BUT when i moved into Production, after saving the product in admin page, it results into blank page without error messages.

Do you have any hints regarding this issue?

 

Also, related to: http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/271107-backend-products-blank-page-after-save-url/?do=findComment&comment=1831013

[NemoPS]

I take it as you already enabled error reporting, correct?

[ayin]

Yes. i have logged.

After several testing, i guess something is wrong with my override Product Class.

I added the new fields in ProductCore Class and changed the constructor to update de DB field.

 

Thanks
