Hi
I study pdf pdf/a file format and how server manage the pdf "meta content/layout" to show content data ( text image link ...) .
I find in hikashop a pay plug in for attach pdf invoice in mail .

I have many questions :
1) Is there others pay extension implemented by hikashop that are not show in the item of name "extension" locate in the main hks menu website ?



I was thinking all the extension where bundle with the bussiness version ? the bussiness hikashop version is for me a kind of "all inclusif" with support ! compare to other ecommerce joomla extension . if i study the url hikashop.com/component/hikashop/product/cid-18.html . I see i can change the number 18 by 19 and i have other pay extension , but don't see a "add to cart " button but a "not sold anymore". Is there a way to know all the others pay extension implemented by hikashop instead test all the number manually !!!



2) To not miss information , in wich module and purpose hks let us create custom content that ll be converted to specific file extension ?
now i see only 2 without take in account html use in mail / website layout
-pdf with the pay pdf plug in for invoice attachment
-raster with the hikaserial extension ( e-ticket ) that convert data product item ( text image custom user value ) to ticket with URL converter to QRcode .
-reading last changelog 2.5 there is SVG support what does that mean ? use an engine converter , use static SVG , use dynamic data embedding in php +SVG..... All enable as a toggle/switch for not use raster output ?

3) because of dry concept , wich library/engine ( if one) is use by hikashop and which are the limit requirement to know when use them for convert
-php code to raster
-text url to QRCode
-content to pdf

Joomla RS extension also support those technology
https://www.rsjoomla.com/support/documentation/rseventspro/getting-started/settings.html
Barcode type: just like any ticket, you can also add barcodes to your generated tickets. This option controls the barcode generation type: Code 39, Code 39 extended, Code 93, Code 128 and, starting with rev. 4, QR code.
Barcode prefix Ver. 1.6.0 introduced the possibility to customize the barcode-s prefix (which is defaulted to RST-)

https://www.rsjoomla.com/support/documentation/rseventspro/plugins-and-modules/ticket-pdf-plugin.html use
- dompdf


4) All joomla structure / extension is base on CMPL component module Plugin Language.. layout ? . It is difficult to know how many extensions ( and new files not change file ) is implemented/added in hikashop bussiness ! RS website has a page with a list of all extension . I Think i have miss the hks web page .....
for give a nexample beetween 2.2.1 and 2.2.3 2 new 2 new css file were added : media\css\rtl.css and opload.css and 14 xml file ( from 147 to 167) so 14 new extensions ? the changelog is incremental information not state information .

I really like hks even best is to know the limit of the tool you use and howto remove those limit !!

Hi,

www.hikashop.com/support/documentation.html - tile "integrations".
You will find the "pdf invoice" plugin and his link.
Because it's a plugin and not a component, it is not listed under the "extensions" menu.

The "date picker custom field" was one of my plugins but it has been finally integrated into HikaShop packages ; that's why we do not sell anymore a plugin which is already available for free in HikaShop.

If you read carefully the changelog, you will find that exact sentence:

SVG support has been added for images in HikaShop

Which explain that SVG is now supported in HikaShop for images. So you can use SVG for product images, category images, etc.
Nothing less, nothing more.

The plugin "attach serial" in HikaSerial does not support PDF ; maybe one day I'll make that development but for the moment I don't have the time or the need.

Your point 4 is interesting and I already submit few month ago a similar request to the HikaShop team.
I want to list all little plugins included in HikaShop ; because some are not enough known by the community and we receive support question for features which are already provided thanks to them.

About the addition of files in packages ; you can see in the changelog the list of modified (or added) files.
An XML is not neceserally a new plugin ; but it could be also a XML for a new Joomla menu entry, or an XML for Falang/Joomfish, etc.
And when we add a plugin in HikaShop ; it is noted in the changelog.. And like I just wrote, I already asked the team to get a page to list all included plugins with a small description.
