Custom fields for products

If possible, I would like to have custom fields for a product that are then searchable. For example, a products condition as in Poor, Good, Excellent. When I add the product I want to set this property for each product. The user then should be able to search and list all 'Poor' products for example.

Having a look at the back-end demo I found Custom Fields under the Display tab, but can't get then to appear when adding a new product.

If these custom fields aren't for products what are they for and how can I achieve what I want?

Hi,

When you create custom fields, on the right side of the screen, you have the display options. You need to turn on the backend form display in order to see it on the product edition/creation page.

In the HikaShop products search plugin, you have the possibility to select which fields will be searchable via the joomla search module so you will be able to select these fields.

An alternative is to create a new category tree for your products conditions. Then, for each product, add one of these categories in it (you can have several categories for a product), and then create a new module of the type hikashop content module which will list the conditions categories and upon clicking on one will display a listing of the products with that condition.
