Modification of getProduct function

[Alex12]

Hello,

 

I m'trying to change the function "new product" to no longer bind to the date_add in the database.

 

I created a new category.

Each product since its default category + I link to the category "new products".

 

I would like that when a product appears in his default category, it is recognized as a new product and therefore the banner new appears.

 

I think we need to override this file classes/category.php

 

And change the function reference getProduct if my new date added is less than x days.

 

I wish that this new function returns if my product is also linked to the category new (in my case id_cat = 8)

 

I have no idea to make this change and change sql query (line 552) to achieve this.

 

Someone can help me?

 

A big thank you

Hi Alex,

 

Seems complicated to me. Perhaps you could modify date_add this way :

 

- 'old product' : first january 2000

- 'new product' : today

 

You will not have then to modify a method which is used by several parts of Prestashop and add complexity.

 

Regards
