Add Extra field to "Add new product" Page!

Hi
I would like to have an extra field (not visible to the clients) such as the cost price.
I have added the extra field (Cost price) into the "Add new product " page, by adding the code below to the "product_details.tpl". also i added the field into the database "xcart_products" table.

Code:

<tr>

    {if $geid ne ''}<td width="15" class="TableSubHead"><input type="checkbox" value="Y" name="fields[cost_price]" /></td>{/if}

    <td class="FormButton" nowrap="nowrap">{$lng.lbl_cost_price} <span class="Text">({$config.General.currency_symbol})</span></td>

    <td class="ProductDetails"><input type="text" name="cost_price" size="18" value="{$product.cost_price|formatprice|default:$zero}" /></td>

</tr>

The problem is the new extra field (cost price) can show the data from the database (if i add it manually into the database by phpMyAdmin), but I can not modify or add it from the form itself.

Can any one please tell me what i am missing here? Do i need to modify any PHP file as well? and where i can find the ($product) variable?

Thank you

PS. I know how to add normal extra fields which they will be visible to the customers.

In /include/product_modify.php search for...

Code:

# Update product data

Find the line...

Code:

"free_tax" => $free_tax,

Below, add this code...

Code:

"cost_price" => $cost_price,

Saman, you can use regular extra fields for this, just uncheck the 'visible' box next to them to keep them from showing on the customer side.
