Hi Newls,

 

Probably using classes/Pack.php...

Hi PascalVG,

 

More specifically,

When I instanciate a new Product Object, I'd like to know how to set it as a Pack !

I already looked around the Pack class but it looks like an extension (in usage i mean) of Product class

[PascalVG]

It's an attribute of Product:

'type' => array(

'getter' => 'getWsType',

'setter' => 'setWsType',

),

 

Which can have three values:

const PTYPE_SIMPLE = 0;

const PTYPE_PACK = 1;

const PTYPE_VIRTUAL = 2;

 

 

You can check what type is is with this function:

public function getType()

{

if (!$this->id)

return Product::PTYPE_SIMPLE;

if (Pack::isPack($this->id))

return Product::PTYPE_PACK;

if ($this->is_virtual)

return Product::PTYPE_VIRTUAL;

 

return Product::PTYPE_SIMPLE;

}

 

If it's a pack, the product is registered in the table ps_pack as well, so you can also use this function to check if a product is a pack in Pack.php:

public static function isPack($id_product)

{

if (!Pack::isFeatureActive())

return false;

 

if (!$id_product)

return false;

 

if (!array_key_exists($id_product, self::$cacheIsPack))

{

$result = Db::getInstance()->getValue('SELECT COUNT(*) FROM '._DB_PREFIX_.'pack WHERE id_product_pack = '.(int)$id_product);

self::$cacheIsPack[$id_product] = ($result > 0);

}

return self::$cacheIsPack[$id_product];

}

 

Hope this helps,

pascal

Thanks PascalVG !

 

This helped in fact !

Finally, I just create a new Product and ->save() it, then I call Pack::AddItem() giving the new product's (the pack freshly created) ID as first argument, and then what I want to add in it.

It automatically set the product as a pack because of the way Pack::isPack() is coded !

 

I set this topic on solved.

Thanks again !
