I would like to do custom modifications in Products

I would like to do custom modification in Products. I must get information from a custom table and add to array product in product lists. I would like to have this field available in all the category etc. Does anyone know which class is responsible for such modifications?

As for me, the best implementation is to create a module which will handle your requirements. All that you need you can achieve with hooks actionProductFormModifier(if you want to modify default part of a product form) or displayAdminProductsExtra(if it's ok to handle it with module form) to add a new field to the class and actionGetProductPropertiesAfter to modify product data array before output. After all the modifications you can just get information with {$product.your_new_field} in any template. Even though the method seems complicated it is encouraged one by Prestashop developers because they discourage classes overrides

The easy way is to override class "Product" and "category".

there is a lot of example on the web, so the following is not all the code source but just an explanation to show custom field on product list page.

Example with a database fields to store your data in a new table that you created: "id", "content"

Create method with an SQL query who load content by product_id and add it to the category controller who call the product_list page:

$sql = 'SELECT content FROM '._DB_PREFIX_.'new_table WHERE id='.(int)$my_content_id ;
$content = Db::getInstance()->getValue($sql);

Example override product class:

class Product extends ProductCore {

    public $my_content_id;


    public function __construct($id_product = null, $full = false, $id_lang = null, $id_shop = null, \Context $context = null) {



        self::$definition['fields']['my_content_id'] = [
            'type' => self::TYPE_STRING,
            'required' => false, 'size' => 255
        ];

        parent::__construct($id_product, $full, $id_lang, $id_shop, $context);
    }
}

To show your value in the product-listing page :

In the template product-list, call your variable :

<div class="my_content_by_product_id">{$product.my_content_by_product_id}</div>

Some inspiration :

Call new fiel in a template file:

Module to display data inside the product list block:
