aimeos wrote:The easiest way is to use the product properties where you can add arbitrary information without extending the database or the managers/items. You can even provide a new subpart and template with specialized fields like the "Physical" subpanel to improve usability (weight, height, length and width are stored as product properties).

If you want the country of origin to be an option in the facetted search, you have to use attributes you associate to the products instead. Properties doesn't generate facetts.

For extending the admin interface there's no documentation yet. You have to have a look into the existing code to see how it works and copy/paste the things you need.

If you want to extend the database instead, you should read these articles:
Add tables and fields to the database: https://aimeos.org/docs/Developers#Database
Create or extend managers/items: https://aimeos.org/docs/Developers#Managers_and_items

Manufacturers (called suppliers in Aimeos) have their own panel in the admin interface. There you can also associate products to them.

In your above comment you said to add code in ./ext/ai-admin-jqadm/admin/jqadm/src/ folder but in the link the writer asks to create class in this directory: ./<yourext>/lib/custom/src/MShop/Product/Item/Myproject.php

Yes, you have to follows the steps in that article and create an extended item and manager.

Afterwards, you can add your new field to the product basic panel. If you implemented toArray() and fromArray() of the item correctly, it will be saved by your extended saveItem() method of your manager.

namespace Aimeos\MAdmin\Product\Manager;
 
class Myproject extends Standard
{
    private $searchConfig = array(
        'product.oldcode'=> array(
            'code'=>'product.oldcode',
            'internalcode'=>'mpro."oldcode"',
            'label'=>'Product oldcode',
            'type'=> 'string', // integer, float, etc.
            'internaltype'=> \Aimeos\MW\DB\Statement\Base::PARAM_STR, // _INT, _FLOAT, etc.
        ),
    );
 
    public function saveItem( \Aimeos\MShop\Common\Item\Iface $item, $fetch = true )
    {
        // a modified copy of the code from the parent class
        // extended by a bind() call and updated bind positions (first parameter)
    }
 
    public function getSearchAttributes( $withsub = true )
    {
        $list = parent::getSearchAttributes( $withsub );
        foreach( $this->searchConfig as $key => $fields ) {
            $list[$key] = new \Aimeos\MW\Criteria\Attribute\Standard( $fields );
        }
        return $list;
    }
 
    protected function createItemBase( array $values = [] /* , ... */ )
    {
        return new \Aimeos\MShop\Product\Item\Myproject( $values /* , ... */ );
    }
}
