[SOLVED add custom field to manufactures

[zoro10]

hi, I'm tryng to add new custom field on the manufactures registry page in the back office. I used the guide in this topic http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/246888-add-custom-field-products-15/ but it can't do the all because I need to insert the new value into the db exactly in the table of the manufacturer. I use prestashop 1.5.6.0. thanks for help.

hello

 

you will need to extend manufacturer object and modify back office theme file related to manufacturer page.

you can follow guides here: http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/285258-how-to-add-new-text-field-to-a-product-which-will-only-be-available-from-the-bo/?do=findComment&comment=1438506

 

but instead of products, modify:

1) table related to manufacturer (ps_manufacturer)

2) instead of classes/product.php modify the manufacturer.php file

3) instead of products controller .tpl file, modify manufacturers controller .tpl file

 

effect will be the same

thanks vekia I'm trying it

[zoro10]

at point 3 I can't recognize where add the code

[vekia]

in this case you need to define field in controllers/admin/AdminManufacturersController.php file,

you will see there object definition:

$this->fields_form = array(...
...
...
...
);

just add there your field array, something like:

array(
					'type' => 'text',
					'label' => $this->l('Field:'),
					'name' => 'field',
					'size' => 40,
					'required' => true,
					'hint' => $this->l('Invalid characters:').' <>;=#{}'
				),

effect:

ok done all but I have an error: error during creation . manufacturer (Unknown column 'add_partita_iva' in 'field list')

[zoro10]

the error is in : 'add_partita_iva' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isCleanHtml'), because if I comment this raw the error doesn't appear but not record

[vekia]

have you got this field in database? (manufacturers table)

[zoro10]

no error now (wrong name in the table, sorry) but not record anymore...

[zoro10]

any ideas for the not recording in the db?

[vekia]

let's clarify.

 

1) you created new field in database named for example: new_field

2) then in manufacturers class file (classes/Manufacturers.php) you added this field (new_field) to object definition (both in variables and object definition)

3) then created field with the same name (new_field) in controller object fieldlist (controllers/adminManufacturersCOntroller.php)

 

that's right?

[zoro10]

yes i have done all you say

[zoro10]

any ideas?

[zoro10]

I have to qualify some permission?

[vekia]

i followed instructions that i suggested to use, everything works.

 

 

 

 

and database:

 

make sure that you f ollowed instructions well.

[vekia]

hello,

thank you for information.

 

may i know what was wrong?

[PizzaPie]

Hi, i'm gonna try to create new custom fields to manufacturers too... but first I would like to know just a small thing:

what happens to my new fields when I upgrade prestashop? 

 

Have I to redo all the changes for each update? Is there the risk of losing data?

Hello, Sorry for my awful English. I know the theme is closed but I need to add a new select field (drop down) and then save the selected element to the bbdd. Can you advise me? Thank you!
