New Product Attribute Type

[Daenu]

Hi there

 

I'm an absolute newbie to PrestaShop but not in programming.

I'm trying to create a new product attribute type besides of

• Dropdown list
• Radio buttons
• Color texture

I'd like to have a simple text field to choose (label).

What I did so far (not working)

• I created a class in overrides/classes:

class Attribute extends AttributeCore
{
    /**
     * @see ObjectModel::$definition
     */
    public static $definition = array(
        'table' => 'attribute',
        'primary' => 'id_attribute',
        'multilang' => true,
        'fields' => array(
            'id_attribute_group' => array('type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'validate' => 'isUnsignedId', 'required' => true),
            'color' =>                array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isColor'),
            'position' =>            array('type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'validate' => 'isInt'),

            /* Lang fields */
            'name' =>                array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isGenericName', 'required' => true, 'size' => 128),
        ),
'cable_label' =>                array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isGenericName', 'required' => true, 'size' => 255),
        )
    );

}

• I created a controller in overrides/controller:

class AdminAttributesGroupsController extends AdminAttributesGroupsControllerCore
{
/**
* AdminController::renderForm() override
* @see AdminController::renderForm()
*/
public function renderForm()
{
//...
$group_type = array(
array(
'id' => 'select',
'name' => $this->l('Drop-down list')
),
array(
'id' => 'radio',
'name' => $this->l('Radio buttons')
),
array(
'id' => 'color',
'name' => $this->l('Color or texture')
),
// My code
array(
'id' => 'cable_label',
'name' => $this->l('Cable Label')
),
// My code
);
// ...
}

public function renderFormAttributes()
{
// ...
$this->fields_form['input'][] = array(
'type' => 'text',
'label' => $this->l('Cable Label'),
'name' => 'cable_label',
'hint' => array(
$this->l('Lorem Ipsum.'),
$this->l('Dolor si ...!')
)
);


);
//...

}

Can anyone give me a hint or link to a tutorial on how to achieve that?

 

Thanks in advance
