Adding new property to a product (radio button) for Xcart 5

Hello

I found a great help in this link https://devs.x-cart.com/basics/adding_new_property_to_a_product/ so I can add extra properties to products.

This implementation adds a text field in product page (Admin Area).

I want to ask, If I would like to add a radio button what I should change in the code?

Thanks

If so, you should make the following change to the module.

1. View/FormModel/Product/Info.php
Add the following line

Code:

        $schema['default']['myMessage'] = [

            'label'     => static::t('My message'),

+            'type'      => 'XLite\View\FormModel\Type\SwitcherType',

            'position'  => 900,

         ];

2. Model/Product.php
Change from

Code:

@Column (type="string")

Code:

@Column (type="boolean")

That's pretty much it.
If you already have the demo module installed in your store, don't forget to drop the existing 'myMessage' column from the database before re-deploying. Otherwise it will most likely produce an error that data format is incorrect.

I want to ask again, If I want to add a list menu (drop down) what I should do? I cannot find any article to read about.

I would suggest to find a module that does what you need in your X-Cart installation and then search through the code to find the piece of code that does the thing.

Hi, following the same method as mentioned int he docs - https://devs.x-cart.com/basics/adding_new_property_to_a_product/ ; I added a new property to the product.
How can I now include that property to import and export of products?

Re: Adding new property to a product (radio button) for Xcart 5

You must extend the \XLite\Logic\Export\Step\Products to export and the \XLite\Logic\Import\Processor\Products to import you new property. For example to import:

Quote:

abstract class Products extends \XLite\Logic\Import\Processor\Products implements \XLite\Base\IDecorator
{
protected function defineColumns()
{
$columns = parent::defineColumns();

$columns['tester'] = array();

return $columns;
}

protected function importTester(\XLite\Model\Product $model, $value, array $column)
{
$model->setTester($this->normalizeValueAsString($value));
}

}
