Is it possible to add an additional field to the product options through an add-on? The value of the field wouldn't be displayed anywhere but in admin but it would be used for creating colour previews (I want to store the hex value of a colour in a separate field to the name). Is this possible?
Hi,
I can make the addon, please PM me if you are interested
Sincerely yours,

I'll take that as a yes, its possible then. Anyone else willing to point me in the right direction?
What cs-cart version are you using?

This is what you are looking for ?
I have done it for v3.x
My example, option is named color, variant white and custom field has value #fffffff

I installed the add-on and the input field is shown but the data isn't saved
I managed to get into the database and the data is saved on the record but isn't being displayed
I changed the hook to get_product_option_data_pre and it works now
if ( !defined('AREA') ) { die('Access denied'); }
function fn_option_custom_field_get_product_option_data_pre( $option_id, $product_id, $fields, $condition, $join, &$extra_variant_fields, $lang_code){
if(empty($extra_variant_fields)) $extra_variant_fields .= 'a.custom_field, ';
}
