shop:onExtendManufacturerModel event

This event allows you to define new fields in the manufacturer model. The event handler should accept two parameters - the manufacturer object (Shop_Manufacturer) and the form execution context string. To add new columns to the manufacturer model, please call the define_column() method of the manufacturer object. Before you add new columns to the manufacturer model, you should add them to the database (shop_manufacturers table). Please read the Extending existing models article to learn more about extending the existing LemonStand models.

Example of the event handler:

public function subscribeEvents()
{
  Backend::$events->addEvent('shop:onExtendManufacturerModel', $this, 'extend_manufacturer_model');
  Backend::$events->addEvent('shop:onExtendManufacturerForm', $this, 'extend_manufacturer_form');
}

public function extend_manufacturer_model($manufacturer, $context)
{
  $manufacturer->define_column('x_extra_description', 'Extra description');
}
    
public function extend_manufacturer_form($manufacturer, $context)
{
  $manufacturer->add_form_field('x_extra_description')->tab('Name and Description');
}
