PrestaShop, with its powerful and flexible framework, allows developers to customize various aspects of the platform to meet specific business requirements. One such customization is adding a custom tab in the back office product page. In this blog, we will walk through the step-by-step process to achieve this by creating a sample module called kbcustommodule.<\/p>\n

We can create the custom Tab in the back office product page in two ways:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Using Symfony components.<\/li>\n
  2. Using displayAdminProductsExtra Hook<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Method 1:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    This tutorial is applicable for PrestaShop version 8.1 and above, utilizing Symfony components.<\/p>\n

    Step 1: Create Your Module<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    kbcustommodule\/<\/p>\n

    |– composer.json<\/p>\n

    |– config\/<\/p>\n

    |\u00a0\u00a0 |– services.yml<\/p>\n

    |– src\/<\/p>\n

    |\u00a0\u00a0 |– Form\/<\/p>\n

    |\u00a0\u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0 |– Modifier\/<\/p>\n

    |\u00a0\u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0 |– ProductFormModifier.php<\/p>\n

    |\u00a0\u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0 |– Type\/<\/p>\n

    |\u00a0\u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0 |– CustomTabType.php<\/p>\n

    |– kbcustommodule.php<\/p>\n

    Start by creating a folder named kbcustommodule under the modules directory of your PrestaShop installation. Inside this folder, create the kbcustommodule.php file, which will contain the main class for your module. The module class initializes the module and registers the required hooks.<\/p>\n

    Here\u2019s an example of the kdcustommodule.php file:<\/p>\n

    \"Create<\/p>\n

    Run the command composer dump-autoload in your module’s root directory to enable namespace autoloading.<\/p>\n

    Step 2: Define Services<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Create a services.yml file under the config directory of your module (kbcustommodule\/config\/services.yml). This file defines the Symfony services required for form customization.<\/p>\n

    \"Create<\/p>\n

    Step 3: Create the Custom Tab Form Type<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Create a CustomTabType class in the src\/Form\/Type folder of your module. This class defines the fields that will appear in the custom tab.<\/p>\n

    \"Create<\/p>\n

    Step 4: Create the ProductFormModifier Class<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    The ProductFormModifier class defines how the custom tab integrates with the existing product form.<\/p>\n

    \"Create<\/p>\n

    Final Step: Install and Test<\/strong><\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Install the module via the back office or manually place it in the modules directory and enable it.<\/li>\n
    2. Navigate to the back office product page. You should see a new tab labeled “Custom Tab” with a field labeled “Custom Field.”<\/li>\n
    3. Test the functionality by adding data to the custom field and ensuring it saves correctly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      After successfully installation of the above module. You will get the result as follows.<\/p>\n
