New Field in product page
 

Hi,

How to create the new field in "xc_products" table?
Also field should reflect in the invoice page.

Re: New Field in product page
 

Hi!

The main process is as follows:
1) Create an empty module as described here: http://kb.x-cart.com/display/XDD/How+to+create+a+module
2) Create the file Model/Product.php script inside your module with the following content:

You should use your own namespace in the script, of course. Within the example, I created two properties: integer property and string one.

Once you rebuild cache X-Cart 5 will update tables and new field will appear in the database.

If you can give more details about how you want to display on invoice, I can help you with this part as well.

Tony.

Hi!

First of all, you should check the last webinar doc for more details.

This section describes how you can replace menu items with your own ones:

Hello Phil,

How do you display your template on the product page?

For each template file there is a PHP class that provides getSomething() methods to that template. If you do not specify such a class, it uses the class selected for the "parent" template file.

So, it looks like you display your template inside another template that doesn't have the necessary method (used in your template).

Re: New Field in product page
 

Hello Phil,

Could you post the code of your template here?

Thank you.

Tony

{**
* @ListChild (list="product.details.page.info", weight="50")
*}
<li class="product-availability">
<span class="name">{t(#Availability#)}</span>
<span class="product-availability-value">{item.product.getProductAvailability()}</span>
</li>

Re: New Field in product page
 

Here are the files in my mod if you want to take a look Tony. I have no doubt that I'm overlooking something simple. I'm still trying to learn the ins and outs of xcart 5.

Re: New Field in product page
 

Hello Phil,

I see. Your code should be as follows:

In other words, I replaced item.product. construction with just product. one.

Tony,

Thank you very much for your help. Your fix worked perfect. I decided that I also wanted to display the sku field in this template. So I modified my .tpl to


{**
* @ListChild (list="product.details.page.info", weight="50")
*}
<li class="product-availability">
<span class="product-availability-name">{t(#Availability:#)}</span>
<span class="product-availability-value">{product.getProductAvailability()}</span>
</li>
<li class="product-availability">
<span class="product-availability-name">{t(#SKU:#)}</span>
<span class="product-availability-value">{product.getSKU()}</span>
</li>


This works except for items that have variants. It shows the base sku and not the variant sku. How can I modify this so that it will reflect the sku of the selected variant?

Re: New Field in product page
 

Do I understand you correctly that you want to display this widget on product details page? If so, could you please try to call getSKU() instead of product.getSKU() and let me know if does the trick.

Thank you.

Re: New Field in product page
 

Hi,

i have completed this, but i want to know that how i can set product priority (orderby) manually to set ordering of product for product listing page in front-end?

there are no area to set this in back-end
How i can do this?

Thanks

Re: New Field in product page
 

You can configure the order in which products appear on category pages as follows:
1. Go to Categories
2. Click on the number of products in the category that you want to change (see the screenshot)
3. Use the handle icon to the left of products to move them and change their order

Re: New Field in product page
 

I've followed the article and added a new field (I'm replacing the standard x-cart tab with an custom html one).


It all works but when I enter HTML all the tags are stripped out. Is there something else I should be defining somewhere?

Re: New Field in product page
 

Did you decorate \XLite\Model\DTO\Product\Info as well?

Check how the class reads and writes the "full_description" field (that uses the WYSIWYG editor too) to the product model.

Re: New Field in product page
 

yep I had that decorated as well but with this...

$object->setSpecification($this->default->specification);

when I needed this...

$object->setSpecification((string) $rawData['default']['specification']);
