Translate Custom Field

Hi Nicolas,

I have a custom field in product page I added using this code in the view->product->show

if(!empty($this->element->CUSTOM_FIELD_COLUMN_NAME)){
$document =& JFactory::getDocument();
$document->setTitle( $this->element->CUSTOM_FIELD_COLUMN_NAME );
}

All works well! I have my custom title for each product.

The question is how to translate this field using directly the translation tab in the product page in the back-end.

I hope I was clear.

Thank you!

Hi,

You can use joomfish to translate the custom field via the joomfish interface. You just have to edit the contentelement xml file of the product table ( administrator/components/com_joomfish/contentelements/hikashop_product.xml ) and add your custom field and then you will be able to translate it via joomfish's interface.
However, to do that directly via the edition page of products in HikaShop would require that you change the code at several places. It's not a small change...

Ah Ok but I already do this.

I thought it was possible to use the panel in the product tab, like in the pic attached.

No, that would require to modify the views there to handle that, as well as an option on custom fields to select whether it is translatable or not.
It would be possible to add that of course, but it's not possible right now.

OK!

Thank you!
