I am using Prestashop version 1.6.1.2 and added one text field using following steps. You need to make changes in core files. You have to add field in one table in database and do some changes in class and controller file.
Here are the steps to do the same. I have adde field 'my_custom_field'.
Add one field in order_state table
ALTER TABLE {YOUR_DB_PREFIX}order_state ADD my_custom_field VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL;
Change class file of order state. You need to define your field in file "classes/order/OrderState.php"
After code
public $deleted = 0;
add this code snipet
public $my_custom_field;
After code
'deleted' => array('type' => self::TYPE_BOOL, 'validate' => 'isBool'),
add this code snipet
'my_custom_field' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING),
open "controllers/admin/AdminStatusesController.php" file and do following changes
in function initOrderStatutsList()
after this code
'name' => array(
'title' => $this->l('Name'),
'width' => 'auto',
'color' => 'color'
),
add this code
'my_custom_field' => array(
'title' => $this->l('My Custom Field'),
'width' => 'auto',
),
in function renderForm()
after this code
array(
'type' => 'text',
'label' => $this->l('Status name'),
'name' => 'name',
'lang' => true,
'required' => true,
'hint' => array(
$this->l('Order status (e.g. \'Pending\').'),
$this->l('Invalid characters: numbers and').' !<>,;?=+()##"{}_$%:'
)
),
add this code
array(
'type' => 'text',
'label' => $this->l('My Custom field'),
'name' => 'my_custom_field',
),
Do changes suggested here. Hope this helps you :)
