Adding calculated fields to the Product Admin Area

minfinger · #1 04-05-2015, 07:49 AM

I'd like to add the following fields to the product admin area. And I want them to calculate base on the Sale price, they should not be editable. How do I do that?

Possible, not so hard to do. I have done similar for XC5 module.
You can contact me with details.

Those are the details. How do I make a field that shows 25% of the Price field and another that shows 75% of the Price field?

Actually, I do not see a problem here. Just create new properties in Product model and define their values as you need.

Remember I'm green as heck on this stuff. How do I do that?

Hello,

\XLite\View\Model\Product::$schemaDefault is the array that defines fields for the Edit Product form. You should decorate this class from your module and add your custom fields from the constructor method.

\XLite\View\Model\Product::getDefaultFieldValue() is the method that returns the default value for a form field. So, you should decorate this method and make it return the product price multiplied by your values for the custom fields.

However, if your goal is not learning how to code for X-Cart 5, it makes sense to hire someone who could customize it for you
