add new field in admin product attribute

[newbie_presta19]

I want to create a link on the product attributes so that when customers choose attribute it directly open product page. My idea is I want to create a new column in database 'attribute_lang'. so my question is how to make one new column in the database that can be accessed in javascript and .tpl? Please help me

You will have to follow steps below

1. Add the field to your database table ps_attribute_lang

2. Add this field to class definition

/classes/Attribute.php

 

Please note you will need to make it as multiple language field by adding line to after the name line.

 

            /* Lang fields */

            'name' =>                array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isGenericName', 'required' => true, 'size' => 128),

Thank you Shokinro for your reply. Can you explain the process more clearly? of adding fields in the database, adding data to the database, and used in .tpl

OK, here is more detailed instructions, assume your new field is "new_field"

 

1 .Add a new column "new_field" to database table ps_attribute with type of varchar(1000)

2. Add following line in file /classes/Attribute.php

 

public $new_field;

 

after this line 

 

3. Add following line in the same file 

 

'new_field' =>           array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isGenericName', 'required' => true, 'size' => 2000),

 

after this line

 

'name' =>                array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isGenericName', 'required' => true, 'size' => 128),

Hello,

 

I was able to add new fields in the database and it works great. 

But now I need to add a kind of "enum" field. 

That's what I did but I'm wonering how it will work with the languages ?

It's ok now that I have only one language, but it will be a problem when I add another language...

 

Could you please help me ?

It should be same for PrestaShop 1.6x and 1.7x.

You can just create a override class Product.php under following folder so that it will override core Product class

 

/override/classes/Product.php

 

make sure you declare the class

 

class Product extends ProductCore
{
....
