Add extra attribute to the product instance using module 1.7

[giwrgos88]

Hello, I'm working on a module and I want to extend the product class in order to add an extra attribute to the class. I want this attribute to be available on product list page, category page, product page etc.

Basically I want to add a boolean attribute if the product is preorder or not

Does anyone knows how i can do it?

Depend on your Prestashop version on 1.6 you can use something like these

On 1,7 you need use the hooks to be able to got information on your module to after show on the tpls

I don't want to add extra fields, I just want to extend the existing Product class with my module and add an extra attribute called preorder(boolean)

You can check this tutorial ( in french ) which add 3 new fields.

Hello @hhennes @jgamio it looks like on prestashop 1.7 is not working. any other suggestions?

[jgamio]

A workaroud can be

 

On your module use the hooks o handle the extra data

check on http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS17/Hooks+in+PrestaShop+1.7.x the available ones

or create your own and put on the theme

Do not forget to clear the cache if it is not working.
The problems are often linked to that

I found out how to override the product class but the issue is that the attribute always has the value 1 even if i add false or a date as a value. any ides? 

 

here is my code

does anyone know what i'm doing wrong? basically I want to make a module where the admin can set a date to a product if it is preorder and I want each product to have this extra attribute, in the checkout process for example, on single page or on the home page where you display the products. 

 

Note: I don't want to store this attribute inside the product table
