Adding New Database Field For Product In 1.8

Can someone post up the process of adding a field into the products table, is it as straight forward as adding a field and then looking through the DAL and adding it where needed.  Or does 1.8 still rely on those horrible stored procedures!!

There are still a few stored procedures used for paging etc. so you will need to update these to include your new field.

Apart from that, it is just a case of adding your new property to the product class, adding the field to the Nop_Products table, then opening up your EF EDMX file and select Update Model From Database.

HTH

Damn I was hoping they would have dropped all the stored procedures during the EF upgrade!  Thanks for the info, I'll give it a go later

Hi,

Where will I find the EF EDMX file ?

Is adding a new field this simple now..
