Changing the core workings of PrestaShop is a HUGE undertaking. You should and must use a module for cases like this.
- Go to
Hook.php and find exec() function. Use error_log($hook_name) to find out which hook are availble when a specific action is performed. For example, when you open product edit page, they may be FormModifier hook which you could use to add a radio box for a new product type. But that is just "cosmetics" of adding an new type.
- You should create a module for modifying PrestaShop. First, try to find if there is a hook available to modify what you need. If there isn't, you will need to override the actual
class/controller. Overrding is easy, but generally not recommended. Create copies of class/controller files in your module folder: modules/yourmodule/override/controller/admin/AdminProductCotnroller.php and only leave functions which you are overrding. Also, try to make if conditional:
if ($iCanModify) { // Modify} else { return parent::method(); }
- Track down a product type constant, variable or string (Product::TYPE_STANDARD?) everywhere where it occurs in PS files. You will need to modify/add logic to these places to make you new tyoe work.
