Trouble adding new product fields

[DannyVarley]

Hi Guys, I am running on 1.5.6 new store and I am trying to add two new product fields. I am trying to add product_h1 and product_desc2 which will be for adding a header on the products and for adding a second description on the page. I have done the following:

1. Added the text defnitions for the admin for both of these in admin/includes/languages/english/product.php

2. updated admin/includes/functions/general.php to create new functions zen_get_products_h1 zen_get_products_desc2

3. updated admin/includes/modules/product/collect_info.php for the following:

Added below 'products_description' => '',

  'products_h1' => '',
  'products_desc2' => '',

Added after pd.products_description,

pd.products_h1, pd.products_desc2,

Added after $products_description = isset($_POST['products_description']) ? $_POST['products_description'] : '';

$products_h1 = isset($_POST['products_h1']) ? $_POST['products_h1'] : '';
  $products_desc2 = isset($_POST['products_desc2']) ? $_POST['products_desc2'] : '';

Added the following inputs for the h1 and desc2

<div class="form-group">
      <?php echo zen_draw_label(TEXT_PRODUCTS_H1, 'products_h1', 'class="col-sm-3 control-label"'); ?>
    <div class="col-sm-9 col-md-6">
        <?php
        for ($i = 0, $n = sizeof($languages); $i < $n; $i++) {
          ?>
        <div class="input-group">
          <span class="input-group-addon">
              <?php echo zen_image(DIR_WS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES . $languages[$i]['directory'] . '/images/' . $languages[$i]['image'], $languages[$i]['name']); ?>
          </span>
          <?php echo zen_draw_input_field('products_h1[' . $languages[$i]['id'] . ']', htmlspecialchars(isset($products_h1[$languages[$i]['id']]) ? stripslashes($products_h1[$languages[$i]['id']]) : zen_get_products_h1($pInfo->products_id, $languages[$i]['id']), ENT_COMPAT, CHARSET, TRUE), zen_set_field_length(TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION, 'products_h1') . ' class="form-control"'); ?>
        </div>
        <br>
        <?php
      }
      ?>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="form-group">
      <?php echo zen_draw_label(TEXT_PRODUCTS_DESC2, 'products_desc2', 'class="col-sm-3 control-label"'); ?>
    <div class="col-sm-9 col-md-6">
        <?php
        for ($i = 0, $n = sizeof($languages); $i < $n; $i++) {
          ?>
        <div class="input-group">
          <span class="input-group-addon">
              <?php echo zen_image(DIR_WS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES . $languages[$i]['directory'] . '/images/' . $languages[$i]['image'], $languages[$i]['name']); ?>
          </span>
          <?php echo zen_draw_textarea_field('products_desc2[' . $languages[$i]['id'] . ']', 'soft', '100%', '30', htmlspecialchars((isset($products_desc2[$languages[$i]['id']])) ? stripslashes($products_desc2[$languages[$i]['id']]) : zen_get_products_desc2($pInfo->products_id, $languages[$i]['id']), ENT_COMPAT, CHARSET, TRUE), 'class="editorHook form-control"'); ?>
        </div>
        <br>
        <?php
      }
      ?>
    </div>
  </div>

4. Updated admin/includes/modules/update_product.php

added after (isset($_POST['products_model']) ? $_POST['products_model'] : '')

 . (isset($_POST['products_h1']) ? $_POST['products_h1'] : '') . (isset($_POST['products_desc2']) ? $_POST['products_desc2'] : '')

added after 'products_description' => zen_db_prepare_input($_POST['products_description'][$language_id]),

#'products_h1' => zen_db_prepare_input($_POST['products_h1'][$language_id]),
      'products_desc2' => zen_db_prepare_input($_POST['products_desc2'][$language_id]),

5. Updated admin/includes/modules/product/preview_info.php

added after $products_description = $_POST['products_description'];

$products_h1 = $_POST['products_h1'];
  $products_desc2 = $_POST['products_desc2'];

added after pd.products_description,

pd.products_h1, pd.products_desc2,

added after $pInfo->products_description = zen_get_products_description($pInfo->products_id, $languages[$i]['id']);

$pInfo->products_h1 = zen_get_products_h1($pInfo->products_id, $languages[$i]['id']);
        $pInfo->products_desc2 = zen_get_products_desc2($pInfo->products_id, $languages[$i]['id']);

added after $pInfo->products_description = zen_db_prepare_input($products_description[$languages[$i]['id']]);

$pInfo->products_h1 = zen_db_prepare_input($products_h1[$languages[$i]['id']]);
        $pInfo->products_desc2 = zen_db_prepare_input($products_desc2[$languages[$i]['id']]);

6. added two new columns in the product_description table names products_h1 and products_desc2

I feel like I could be missing something, Everything displays correctly on the admin side, the inputs show correctly. If I manually enter the products_h1 and products_desc2 in phpmyadmin they will show on the admin when I try alter the product, however as soon as I try update the product these will be rewritten with blanks. Can anyone see anything?

If these are HTML fields, you have to add them to the sanitizer's exclusion list.

In preview_info.php did you also add your new fields to match the zen_draw_hidden_field calls done later in the file?

[DannyVarley]

Thanks guys, you were both completely correct!

I have added the description to the file admin/includes/init_includes/init_sanatize.php and I have also added the zen_draw_hidden fields!

All works perfectly now!
