Prestashop - HelperForm - Radio is not checked in BO - php

I'm blocked on my prestashop website and I need your help.
So here it is :
I need a radio button on my prestashop BO on my categorie page. I'm developing a module in order to display specific categories on my Index page. So, with the Helper form I've added a radio button with 2 values (1 for active, and 0 for inactive). And here is my problem. The value is well saved in my database, but when I come back in the Back office categorie page, none of my radios are checked !
My Prestashop version : Prestashop 1.5.6.2
Do you have any idea ?
Here is my code so far in the AdminCategoriesController.php :
array(
'type' => 'radio',
'label' => $this->l('Categorie à afficher sur l\'accueil ? :'),
'name' => 'featured_category',
'required' => false,
'class' => 't',
'is_bool' => true,
'values' => array(
array(
'id' => 'featured_category_on',
'value' => 1,
),
array(
'id' => 'featured_category_off',
'value' => 0,
)
)
),
And this is what I've added in category.php
'featured_category' => array('type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'validate' => 'isBool', 'validate' => 'isUnsignedId')
With also :
public $featured_category = 0;
Information :
I've modified the /classes/category.php file and the
AdminCategoriesController.php in order to add the field.
Thanks a lot !

Ok I found out where was my mistake, so I'm posting it if someone has the same trouble.
Contrary to Text Area which are save in "PS_CATEGORY_LANG", radio and checkbox are saved in "PS_CATEGORY", so be sure to only save your field in the PS_CATEGORY table, otherwise prestashop won't be able to read the saved value.
As always, the mistake was **** simple ! :)

categoryChoiceTree in prestashop module configuration page

I'm developing a prestashop module and I'm trying to show a category tree in my backoffice configuration page.
I'm trying to follow this instructions below but I don't know exactly where to add this code.
It should be inside main module's php? or inside a separate .php file and call it from the main one (don't know how to do it either).
As much time I'm spending trying to figure out, how to implement the code in the link above, the more I think I'm losing my time.
I see that "use" files, and this JS, " /admin-dev/themes/new-theme/js/components/form/choice-tree.js " are not in any prestashop folders.
Well, you should invest some time and learn Symfony since this is what you need to build backend modules for Prestashop 1.7.
As a pointer, you need to create a form class extending the CommonAbstractType, add a build form method. e.g. :
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$this->context = Context::getContext();
$parents = [
['id_category' => 2, 'name' => 'Home', 'children' => $this->getSubCategories(1, true, 2)]
];
$builder->add('category', CategoryChoiceTreeType::class, [
'choices_tree' => $parents,
'choice_value' => 'id_category',
'choice_children' => 'children',
'choice_label' => 'name',
'disabled_values' => $disabledCategories,
'label' => 'Choose a category'
])
then add methods for retrieving the data to populate the form fields.
Then use this class in your controller and display the form:
$form = $this->createForm(YourFormForm::class);
Also add a processForm to process data.
As mentioned, this is not a copy/paste situation you need to understand the Symfony workflow.
The only way that I found to "paint" the categorytree in my configuration page is adding this code to the inputs form array:
Can anyone tell me how to retrieve users selection data to my database?
It does not work as any other form field.
array(
'type' => 'categories',
'label' => $this->l('Destination Category'),
'desc' => $this->l('Select ONE Category'),
'name' => 'CATEGORY_CATEGORY_TO',
'tree' => [
// 'selected_categories' => [],
'disabled_categories' => null,
'use_search' => false,
'use_checkbox' => false,
'id' => 'id_category_tree',
],
'required' => true
),
Well, it is SOLVED!!!! Finally it was very simple, but you must get the correct info for you particular case.
#Robertino's answer might be the best implementation, I don't know, but it became impossible to solve for me,
I uses this code below, and called $categoryTree from the form input. This input must be type=> categories_select
Thanks for your time, and for the help of another post from this forum.
$root = Category::getRootCategory();
//Generating the tree
$tree = new HelperTreeCategories('categories_1'); //The string in param is the ID used by the generated tree
$tree->setUseCheckBox(false)
->setAttribute('is_category_filter', $root->id)
->setRootCategory($root->id)
->setSelectedCategories(array((int)Configuration::get('CATEGORY_1'))) //if you wanted to be pre-carged
->setInputName('CATEGORY_1'); //Set the name of input. The option "name" of $fields_form doesn't seem to work with "categories_select" type
$categoryTree = $tree->render();
And the Form:
array(
'type' => 'categories_select',
'label' => $this->l('Category'),
'desc' => $this->l('Select Category '),
'name' => 'CATEGORY_1', //No ho podem treure si no, no passa la variable al configuration
'category_tree' => $categoryTree, //This is the category_tree called in form.tpl
'required' => true

Prestashop 1.6 add tinymce field to admin preferences

I'm trying to add a new field to Admin Preferences - a textarea field with tinymce. I've added code to AdminPreferencesController.php:
$this->fields_options['contact'] = array(
'title' => $this->l('Contact'),
'icon' => 'icon-cogs',
'submit' => array('title' => $this->l('Save')),
);
$this->fields_options['contact']['fields']['PS_CONTACT_ADDITIONAL_INFO'] = array(
'type' => 'textarea',
'label' => $this->l('Short description'),
'name' => 'short_description',
'lang' => true,
'cols' => 60,
'rows' => 10,
'autoload_rte' => 'rte',
'col' => 6,
);
But tinymce doesnt' appear and when I'm using HTML tags after saving they disappear. Presta strips all HTML tags.
How to allow HTML tags on this field and enable tinymce?
It seems that you can't just add it in a regular way. But you can implement it in a next way.
First of all, use field type textareaLang instead of textarea and add a parameter 'validation' => 'isCleanHtml' to this field
$this->fields_options['contact']['fields']['PS_CONTACT_ADDITIONAL_INFO'] = array(
'type' => 'textareaLang',
'label' => $this->l('Short description'),
'name' => 'short_description',
'lang' => true,
'cols' => 60,
'rows' => 10,
'col' => 6,
'validation' => 'isCleanHtml'
);
Create your own script to initialize your editor. I created a script tinymce.init.js and put it to js/admin/ folder
$(document).ready(function(){
ad = ''; // this is defenition of the external plugin path. I didn't fint how it can impact on script if it's empty but by default it it the path to your admin folder
iso = iso_user;
var config = {
selector: '.textarea-autosize'
};
tinySetup(config);
});
Then include tinymce script and your own to this controller AdminPreferencesController.php
public function setMedia()
{
$this->context->controller->addJquery();
$this->context->controller->addJS(
array(
_PS_JS_DIR_.'admin/tinymce.init.js',
_PS_JS_DIR_.'tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js',
_PS_JS_DIR_.'admin/tinymce.inc.js'
)
);
parent::setMedia();
}
It should implement your requirements. But don't forget that now you should call your configuration field in multilingual scope. So, add a language id to Configuration::get() like
Configuration::get('PS_CONTACT_ADDITIONAL_INFO, $id_lang)
whenever you use it.
P.S. Bear in mind that the best solution for your goal is to create a simple module which will handle this. And far more, it is recommended way.

Magento custom dependent category attributes

I have some custom attributes for my project.
Attribute1 : Use in home page sidebar(yes/no)
if it is yes show the below attribute.
Attribute2 : Browse image
I want to add attribute2 based on the attribute1. Only when the Use in Home Page Sidebar is enabled , my new attribute will be shown below of the current. I.e., it will be a dependent attribute. Does somebody know the script for adding dependent attributes in Magento?
Previously i added custom attributes by
$this->startSetup();
$this->addAttribute(Mage_Catalog_Model_Category::ENTITY, 'use_home_page_side_bar', array(
'group' => 'General',
'input' => 'select',
'type' => 'int',
'label' => 'Use in Home Page Sidebar',
'backend' => '',
'source' => 'eav/entity_attribute_source_boolean',
'visible' => true,
'required' => false,
'visible_on_front' => true,
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_GLOBAL,
));
$this->endSetup();
Like this script, is there any script for adding dependent attributes?
If you are working on admin forms, then a class exists for automatically hiding elements when the value of fields change.
Below is an example which shows field dependency.
$form = new Varien_Data_Form();
$form->addField('yesno', 'select', array(
'label' => $this->__('Yes or No?'),
'values' => Mage::model('adminhtml/system_config_source_yesnocustom')
->toOptionArray(),
));
$form->addField('custom_value', text, array(
'label' => $this->__('Other'),
));
// Append dependency javascript
$this->setChild('form_after', $this->getLayout()
->createBlock('adminhtml/widget_form_element_dependence')
->addFieldMap('yesno', 'yesno')
->addFieldMap('custom_value', 'custom_value')
->addFieldDependence('custom_value', 'yesno', 2) // 2 = 'Specified'
);
You need to map every field name to an element ID. You can add as many field mappings and field dependencies in this way as you wish.
I have created simple category attribute dependency by adding new input renderer for attribute. It is working this way:
You have several attributes:
– my_attribute
– my_attribute_text
– my_attribute_select
Note that they all start from my_attribute.
First attribute has boolean type. When it is set to true – other attributes that start from my_attribute is visible.

Troubleshooting dynamic dropdowns in SugarCRM 6.5

I had asked a question here a while back about setting up database populated dropdowns for SugarCRM. I received a really good answer and, after more php studies and a dev instance running, I decided to give it a shot. The instructions I followed can be found here. After I run the repair and rebuild, I would expect to see the custom field in my Fields list under the module in studio, but have not been able to find it. The module is named Makers (a1_makers as a database table). For good orders sake, there were no errors when I repaired/rebuilt after saving the files. Per the instructions, I first created a php file with a custom function to query the database (custom/Extension/application/Ext/Utils/getMakers.php):
<?php
function getMakers() {
static $makers = null;
if (!$makers){
global $db;
$query = "SELECT id, name FROM a1_maker";
$result = $db->query($query, false);
$accounts = array();
$accounts[''] = '';
while (($row = $db->fetchByAssoc($result)) !=null) {
$accounts[$row['id']] = $row['name'];
}
}
return $makers;
}
?>
Then, I set 'function' field in Vardefs to point to the function (custom/Extension/modules/Maker/Ext/Vardefs/makers_template.php):
<?php
$dictionary['Maker']['fields']['list_of_makers'] = array (
'name' => 'list_of_makers',
'vname' => 'LBL_MKRLST'
'function' => 'getMakers',
'type' => 'enum',
'len' => '100',
'comment' => 'List of makers populated from the database',
);
?>
Unfortunately, there are no errors and the repair/rebuild runs fine. I am just unable to see the custom field when I go into studio. Can anyone please help point out what I may be doing wrong?
I would recommend checking existence of newly created field 'list_of_makers' in cache/modules/Maker/Makervardefs.php file. If new field definition exists in that file, try add 'studio' => 'visible' to custom/Extension/modules/Maker/Ext/Vardefs/makers_template.php to get something like this:
<?php
$dictionary['Maker']['fields']['list_of_makers'] = array (
'name' => 'list_of_makers',
'vname' => 'LBL_MKRLST'
'function' => 'getMakers',
'type' => 'enum',
'studio' => 'visible'
'len' => '100',
'comment' => 'List of makers populated from the database',
);
Try to edit your custom/modules/Maker/metadata/editviewdefs.php manually and insert field definition by hand in proper place if everything above won't work.
$dictionary['Maker']['fields']['list_of_makers'] = array (
'name' => 'list_of_makers',
'vname' => 'LBL_MKRLST'
'function' => 'getMakers',
'type' => 'enum',
'studio' => 'visible'
'len' => '100',
'comment' => 'List of makers populated from the database',
'studio' => array(
'listview' => true,
'detailview' => true,
'editview' => true
),
);

Magento how to save additional shipping info to Quote during checkout

I'm quite new in magento, I work version 1.6.2.0.
I'm trying to add my own Custom Shipping Method module and I have few problems.
My magento has already custom checkout module - Threestep checkout, what I'm trying to do is save additional shipping info which I choose in 3rd step (Payment and Shipping) (something like Store Pickup place) to Quote, and then in Review retrive Quote data and save it to Order.
I'm using Events to do this:
checkout_controller_onepage_save_shipping_method to save data to Quote
checkout_type_onepage_save_order to save data to Order
The problem is that Quote and Order doesn't have any free place where i can save my data, so I created installer for my module:
$installer = $this;
$installer->startSetup();
$packboxName = array(
'type' => 'varchar',
'backend' => '',
'frontend' => '',
'label' => 'packboxname',
'input' => '',
'class' => '',
'source' => '',
'global' => 1,
'visible' => true,
'required' => false,
'user_defined' => false,
'default' => '',
'searchable' => false,
'filterable' => false,
'comparable' => false,
'visible_on_front' => false,
'visible_in_advanced_search' => false,
'unique' => false
);
$installer->addAttribute('order', "packboxname", $packboxName);
$installer->getConnection()->addColumn($installer->getTable('sales/order'), 'packboxname', 'varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL');
$installer->addAttribute('quote', "packboxname", $packboxName);
$installer->getConnection()->addColumn($installer->getTable('sales/quote'), 'packboxname', 'varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL');
$installer->endSetup();
And i got a error saying that
$installer->addAttribute('quote'
has wrong Entity Id.
So I checked DB, table: eav_entity_type and there wasn't any 'quote' type (hopefully there was a 'order') I didn't really know what I should do so, I tried to google something, I found tutorial and modified my installer.
$installer->addEntityType('quote', array(
'entity_model' => 'sales/quote',
'table' =>'sales/quote',
));
Now it's working I have additional place where I can save my info, but my friend told me that I shouldn't use addEntityType, Is there any other way to achive what I need?
I think perhaps what you're looking for can be found in this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/4389786/823549
An important point made in that answer is the event fired, sales_convert_quote_to_order - this will get fired when the quote is being converted to an order, and will happen regardless of what your other checkout module does. This answer is also useful as you can see the details of your custom column in the orders grid page.
