Adding product quantity in each results in BACKEND PS 1.5.6.2

[nikmagnus]

Hi everyone,

 

Im hoping to add the product quantity when searching for the product in the backend.

 

Currently I go to products and then go down to product name field and type in the product name and press filter.

Trouble is, we have a lot of products and load time means it takes a while to do this.

 

A simpler way is to type the product into the search field in the backend, but the result doesnt show the product quantity.

 

Can someone help me to do this?

 

I've found AdminSearchController.php in controllers/admin/

 

Here seems to be the code:

protected function initProductList(){
$this->show_toolbar = false;
$this->fields_list['products'] = array(
'id_product' => array('title' => $this->l('ID'), 'width' => 25),
'manufacturer_name' => array('title' => $this->l('Manufacturer'), 'align' => 'center', 'width' => 200),
'reference' => array('title' => $this->l('Reference'), 'align' => 'center', 'width' => 150),
'name' => array('title' => $this->l('Name'), 'width' => 'auto'),
'price_tax_excl' => array('title' => $this->l('Price (tax excl.)'), 'align' => 'right', 'type' => 'price', 'width' => 60),
'price_tax_incl' => array('title' => $this->l('Price (tax incl.)'), 'align' => 'right', 'type' => 'price', 'width' => 60),
'active' => array('title' => $this->l('Active'), 'width' => 70, 'active' => 'status', 'align' => 'center', 'type' => 'bool')
);
}

What would be the syntax to add product quantity to this? 

Am I looking at the right thing?

 

Would it be better to do this as an override?

In which case, what would I put in the override file?

The modified AdminSearchController.php file in total or just a snippet of code?

 

Thanks in advance.

Nik
