Category Custom Field for Vendor

Hi,

What do you want to store in that category custom field ?

The HikaShop custom field system does not allow such type of "filtering" on several categories. But by improving the system, it shoud be possible.

But my main question is about what you want to do maybe it would be possible to have the same result with another "structure".

After that, I don't understand what you want to do with vendor custom fields.

Regards,

Hi,

In HikaMarket, a vendor could just assign a category to a product if he has access to it.
We would add in a future release, the possibility to "share" other categories to vendors. At this moment, the vendor would be able to place his products in these categories.

After that, the listing that you want to have is quite complex to implement.
You would have to retrieve all categories of the product in the listing and display the right category name in the listing (not displaying the current "daily receipt" one, etc).
I guess that, creating a product custom field which would contains the list of the categories would be better.

You can store in the custom field possible values the couple "category id / category name" and create the special display in the table listing.
The custom field values would not be dynamic, it means that you would have to update manually the values if you create a category or if a category is modified.
It is possible to create a "custom field" plugin in order to have a dynamic and specific system. But I am not sure that you would create and modify your categories every day.

Hi,

Why a vendor custom field ?
You vendors just have one single category ?
A product custom fields could not be better ?


In the listing page, you can load and display a product custom field:

if(!empty($this->rows)){
	// Load the product custom fields
	//  (in the beginning of the file)
	$fieldsClass = hikashop_get('class.field');
	$productfields = $fieldsClass->getFields('frontcomp',$this->rows,'product');
}

	// Display a custom field value for the product
	//   (in a cell of the listing table)
	$fieldName = 'my_custom_field_name';
	if(!empty($productfields[$fieldName]) && !empty($row->$fieldName))
		echo $this->fieldsClass->show($productfields[$fieldName], $row->$fieldName);

if(!empty($this->rows)) {
	// Load the vendors in the current listing
	//
	$vendorIds = array();
	foreach($this->rows as $row) {
		$vendorIds[$row->product_vendor_id] = $row->product_vendor_id;
	}
	if(!empty($vendorIds)) {
		$query = 'SELECT * FROM '.hikamarket::table('vendor').' WHERE vendor_id IN ('.implode(',',$vendorIds).')';
		$db = JFactory::getDBO();
		$db->setQuery($query);
		$vendors = $db->loadObjectList('vendor_id');
	} else {
		$vendors = array();
	}
	// Load the vendor custom fields
	//
	$fieldsClass = hikashop_get('class.field');
	$null = null;
	$vendorFields = $fieldsClass->getFields('frontcomp', $null, 'plg.hikamarket.vendor');
}

	if(!empty($vendors[ $row->product_vendor_id ])) {
		$currentVendor = $vendors[ $row->product_vendor_id ];
		$fieldName = 'vendor_category_for_product_listing';
		if(!empty($vendorsFields[$fieldName]) && !empty($currentVendor->$fieldName)) {
			$fieldsClass->show($vendorFields[$fieldName], $currentVendor->$fieldName);
		}
	}

Hi,

I have separate the code in two different blocks.
The first block load the custom fields (for the product or for the vendor) and the second block display the content in the loop.
The first one could be paste at the beginning of the view but the second one, should be paste at a precise place.
You have to add a new cell (and a new column) in order to display it, like the product name, the price or the code are displayed.

					<?php if ($this->config->get('show_code')){ ?>
						<td class="hikashop_product_code_row">
							<?php
							echo $this->row->product_code;
							?>
						</td>
					<?php } ?>
