You should change your Product class as follows:

PHP Code:

<?php
// vim: set ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 et:

namespace XLite\Module\EBLIEB\GlasPak\Model;

class Product extends \XLite\Model\Product implements \XLite\Base\IDecorator
{
    /**
     * @Column (type="string", length=32)
     */
    protected $PPCField;
    
    /**
     * Updates "Pieces per case" field.
     * 
     * @param string $value New value
     * 
     * @return void
     */
    public function setPPCField($value)
    {
        $this->PPCField = $value;
    }

    /**
     * Returns the value of "Pieces per case" field.
     * 
     * @return string
     */
    public function getPPCField()
    {
        return $this->PPCField;
    }
}

X-Cart 5.3 doesn't add get/set methods automatically, so now you should add these methods manually (if you need them in your modules).

Doesn't seem to be working with 5.3

in skins\admin\en\modules\EBLIEB\GlasPak\

I have

{##
 # @ListChild (list="invoice.item.name", weight="20")
 #}
{% if this.item.product.getPPCField() %}
  <li class="ppc-field">
    <span class="name">{{ t('Pieces Per Case') }}</span>
    <span class="ppc-field-value">{{ this.item.product.getPPCField() }}</span>
  </li>
{% endif %}

but it doesn't seem to add to the admin for each product like it did in 5.2 ...

This was based off of
http://devs.x-cart.com/en/basics/adding_new_property_to_a_product/

Any chance this will be updated in the future for 5.3?

The model and page for modify product in 5.3.x changed a lot. While you still should add the new fields to table the set/get functions and where/how fields appear on the modify page in admin require more changes to other (new) classes.

Look at XLite/Model/DTO/Product and XLite/View/FormModel/Product

This is going to be a huge headache to upgrade unless they change that KB. Also the google adwords order js wont convert over. Took me a while to learn the old system and smarty and now everything is changed again and seems to be more complicated

[GlasPak]

So I moved all the skins to the proper location, changed the decorator and everything that was suggested and it still doesn't work. I uploaded the latest changes. The KB still hasn't been updated eventho my sites are now nagging me to do the 5.3 upgrade (can't until this issue is resolved).

I believe we discussed this in other forum thread.

Anyway, here is the article that explains how you should deal with custom fields on the Edit Product page in X-Cart 5.3.x:

Is your documentation right?

<X-Cart>/classes/XLite/Module/XCExample/NewProductFieldDemo/View/Model/Product.php

Should that be
<X-Cart>/classes/XLite/Module/XCExample/NewProductFieldDemo/View/FormModel/Info.php ?

[qualiteam]

Ouch. I believe you're right as the code example (that is below the wrong class name) uses the correct one.
I've reported it to the XC5 team.
