Insert custom field in product-list.tpl

[antoniobaby78]

Goodmorning everyone,
I ask for help at the forum.
I have a custom field and I would like to show it in the product list.
In the product page the field is shown without problems but in the product list I can not show it.   
Please help me?
My prestashop version 1.6.1.13

Hi there what field would you like to show in the product list?

[antoniobaby78]

Hello,

The field I would like to show is this:

<h3 class="book-subtitle">{$belvg_textarea|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}</h3>

This field in product.tpl is displayed without any problems

I suppose that you use a purchased theme on your Prestashop. 

 

In order to show the same field on product list you should add the necessary information on smarty through the controller of any page that uses a product list.

 

For example in the categoryController you should to 

public function initContent()

and on the smarty assignments add the data needed.

 

There is a case though that if your theme is purchased it may have overridden some controllers of your installation so you may have to do some extra search in order to find the place to add your extra code.

Hello,

Thank you very much for your help.

Unfortunately I do not really know where to put your hands to make this kind of modification.

I would like to be able to show the field also on the product-list page but not so much like doing!

I'm using this free form for the custom field.

Unfortunately although you used a module to show an extra tab in the product page, you can't avoid the modification of a Prestashop core file. You will have to override the Category controller file, which is in this path

ROOT_DIRECTORY/controllers/front/CategoryController.php

you can find more information here. In the controller you will have to retrieve the info from the database for each product and then show it in the category.tpl file.

 

I'm sorry that I can't help you more but I can walk you through this type of customisation only if I see your files.

What kind of files do you need to see?

Can I attach here?

Hello,

Thanks a lot for the answer. 

When I insert the new hook in the file: belvg_samplemodule

The backend does not open, I get an error

[antoniobaby78]

Hello,

Unfortunately continues to receive error.

See attached file

I think I've put the code well

belvg_samplemodule.php
