Hello,

I am tring to add a new field in the object data.

I need something like the "Living Space", with the field where I can write the square meters.

I have work a lot, and I mahaged to add a new field in the database, to store the data. and the new field is showing in the back-end.

But when I am inserting some numbers in the fiel and I press Save...

... It does not save anything in the database.

I try to find where in the code is the query of UPDATE (so I can add my database field), but I could not find it.

Can anybody help ????

Hello,

I have found it!

here is the solution:

crate a new field in the database in the table 'jos_estateagent' with the name 'test' (type: DECIMAL ; Lenght: 10,2 ; Collaction: - ;NULL: Not Null)


in the language file add this lines:

Code:

DEFINE('_EA_OBJ_TEST','Test'); DEFINE('_EAB_OBJ_TEST','Test');

in the file admin.estateagent.html.php in the folder administrator/components/com_estateagent at line about 400 add a new field, something like this:

QUOTE:
<div class="tr2"> <div class="td1"><b><?php echo _EAB_OBJ_TEST; ?></b></div> <div class="td2"><input type="Text" name="test" size="7" class="inputbox" maxlength="10" value="<?php echo $obj->test; ?>" /> <?php echo $params['measure'];?></div> </div>

in the file class.estateagent.php in the folder administrator/components/com_estateagent at line about 30 add:

QUOTE:
var $test = 0;

at line about 116 add:

QUOTE:
_EA_OBJ_TEST => $this->test,

at line about 186 add:

QUOTE:
if($this->test!=0.00) $this-> test .= " ".$ea_measure;

Hope it can help Bye Bye Sharemind Post edited by: sharemind, at: 2008/01/04 15:54<br><br>Post edited by: sharemind, at: 2008/01/04 15:59
