additional product information

Hi Nic,

I have several products that require additional information from the customer, specifically their Spouse's Name.

I was going to add this as an additional field to the checkout but I realise that not all products require this information, only some.

What is the best way to capture this additional information for these products?

Thanks,

Mat

I am working on this right now and not getting anywhere.

I have the business edition.

I went to item and create a custom field called test.
I checked the front end and back end form and back end listing options (not sure what they do)
and it is published.

Now how do I put it on a product?

OK it showed up and now I understand it is not per product but per category. Is that correct? I can't show these fields per product but only per category?

OK how can I add a value to the custom field through ajax?
So when I add a product via url can i set the custom fields and characteristics some how?

It appears that the field I create at the item level gets added to the hikashop_cart_product

Would it be hard for you to modify the code to allow these custom fields to be changed via ajax?

or for me to change it in the code where would I look?

domain.com/index.php?option=com_hikashop...oduct_id=11&test=aaa

Great, Thank you!!!!

What does the core option do?
