Set "product expiration date" in back office product page

[slide83]

Hi guys,

I explain you my need and the solution I found, so you can give me some advice how to implement it.

I have an eshop selling food. As we all know food has an expiration date. Thus, I need to write it somewhere in the product creation page, in the back office. This expiration date however must not be visible on the front office.

 

I thought that the easiest way to make that is to create a product's characteristic called "expiration date", so I have the related field in my product creation page. The problem now is that this way, I created also a filed called "expiration date" also on the frontpage. It would be perfect if I could change something in the code say to prestashop not to show this filed.

 

Am I wrong? Any suggestion?

Thanks,

Juri

Hi, i thing you should add a new field in the Product class, like that you will be able to display it easily by something like {$product->expiration_date|date_format:"%D"}

A little research and you will find several tutorials about how to add a new field in product administration.

Hi Pascal,

 

I would like to know if there is already a module to include the expiration date management to the products charged in Prestashop.

We also sell food, and I can´t find the way to set the expiration dates into the existences module.

Could you help us?
