[Prestashop] How to Debug Prestashop API?
There are severals ways to make it right. Below I described my way of testing Prestashop API using cURL as the tool that checkes all dependencies. After enabling Prestashop API in your administration panel, save the API Key.
Depends what you want to check your xml files would be different. All possibilites you can find in the Prestashop API documentation, for instance: http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS14/Chapter+4+-+Retrieve+Data+-+Retrieving+a+Client. Most important thing here is the XML file.
In our example we will add a new product to the Prestashop API. Here is ours XML file with data.
product.xml
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 |
<prestashop> <product> <price>123.00</price> <link_rewrite> <language id="1"><![CDATA[test-123]]></language> </link_rewrite> <name> <language id="1"><![CDATA[Test 123]]></language> </name> </product> </prestashop> |
Save it and execute command below.
|
1 |
curl -X POST -u 'YOUR_PRESTASHOP_API_KEY:' -d @product.xml 'http://YOUR_WEBSITE_URL/api/products' -v |
Pretashop has RESTful API so it depends on the http methods that you would be able to add / edit or remove products.

How to Add a New Custom Field in Prestashop
I’ve figured out how to add new field to database using Prestashop (1.4.3, but I think for the newer versions would be the same). This solution gives you new field in database and you will be able to edit / save data to this field in your admin panel, for my example I needed a field which was called “number of photos”. Below you can see how it works.

Prestashop, Paypal Module Message Limit 1600
When you have a problem with paypal module in Prestashop. I mean that kind of problem when user come back from paypal.com:
|
1 |
Fatal error (Message => message Length 1600) |
You should edit Message.php (in classes) and change the limit of field. It’s line 54 and it should be look that:
|
1 2 |
// line 54 protected $fieldsSize = array('message' => 16000); // just change to 16000 |
And then you won’t have any problem with limits when user come back to your internet store.
Edited (03/03/2012)
I’ve noticed there are a lot of people who are finding this information. In addition I want to tell this problem shouldn’t appear in the new version of paypal module.
