[SOLVED] Product object added property not seen in Shopping cart

[MrBaseball34]

I've added a property to the Product Object to handle our images, it is called hack_image.
Now, when a New product OBJECT is created, it is populated with the correct value from the DB.

But, when I get in the shopping-cart-product-line template, the variable $product is an array, not an object
and my hack_image value is no longer there.

I've looked high and low for when this array is built.

Oh, and another thing, Why would some properties sometimes be accessed like this:

$product->name

and other times accessed like this:

$product.name

Can anyone help out??

In PrestaShop, the Product class is only called in product.php to get an individual product. Anywhere that PrestaShop needs to get multiple products, an SQL query is performed instead of creating Product objects, then the Product::getProductProperties() function is called on each row in the result. I think you'll need to modify all the SQL queries to include your image_hack field.

Every place that it selects product(s) in the Product class, it uses p.* so the hack_image column *should* be included.
I can't seem to find any SQL selecting any products that doesn't include all columns, with the exception of getting the quantity and
finding out if a product is new...

Where is the $product array in the shopping-cart-product-line template filled, anyway? I can't find it.

In Cart.php, in getProducts, the SQL had been changed to add the hack_image column. But in my 1.3.1 version it hadn't been.
Looks like that is the culprit. I just didn't know where to look and finally found it.
