For developers:

The OCMOD file https://github.com/rupaknepali/Opencart-free-modules/blob/master/hoveroverimage/install.xml will modify the following files:

modified:   admin/controller/catalog/product.php
modified:   admin/language/en-gb/catalog/product.php
modified:   admin/model/catalog/product.php
modified:   admin/view/template/catalog/product_form.twig
modified:   catalog/controller/product/category.php
modified:   catalog/model/catalog/product.php
modified:   catalog/view/theme/default/template/product/category.twig

The new files added when you upload the module are the following:

added:      admin/controller/extension/module/hoveroverimage.php
added:      admin/language/en-gb/extension/module/hoveroverimage.php
added:      admin/model/extension/module/hoveroverimage.php
added:      admin/view/template/extension/module/hoveroverimage.twig

Once you upload the module then install the module, then it will create the oc_product_to_image_back database table. We need to create a new table because Opencart 3 doesn't allow us to alter the core database tables.

public function installTableBackImage()
{
    $this->db->query("CREATE TABLE `" . DB_PREFIX ."product_to_image_back` ( `id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT , `image_back` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL , `product_id` INT NOT NULL , PRIMARY KEY (`id`))");
}

public function dropTableBackImage()
{
    $this->db->query("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `" . DB_PREFIX . "product_to_image_back`");
}

When you upload the image in "Upload Hover over Image" field at product section then all data are stored in the DB_PREFIX.product_to_image_back database table.

The Ocmod install.xml contains the following code:
