Intergration Moonsoft Calcbuilder extended

-- url of the page with the problem -- : www.atlasacomfa.nl/nl/alumon-calculatie
-- HikaShop version -- : 4.0.1
-- Joomla version -- : 3.9.1
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : Firefox 64.0

In the Calcbuilder Extended extension of Moonsoft we have setup a price calculator which is integrated with Hikashop.

With the hikashops codes like '$hk_product_name' , '$hk_product_description' and $hk_pricehikaproduct we are able to give the correct data to the hikashop checkout. These codes are put in the PHP section of the Moonsoft Calcbuilder

Is it there a way to give a picture to the hikashop checkout?

Th moonsoft support gave the next information: "It's not possible to send and image to the new product from the calculator, as the image file is stored by hihaskop in a different table." and "You could try to create a new custom field at hikashop side 'image' attached to the product and ask hikashop support if you could fill it with an html tag from the calculator, "<img src='yourimagehere.png'>" but we suggest to check with hikashop support first if this would work when they show the product at the cart."

I have posted your reaction on the Moonsoft forum: www.moonsoft.es/forums/2-cbsupport/4139-...he-hikashop-checkout .

I will let you know when they have given a reaction. Or you can participate directly on the Moonsoft forum if you like.

Hi,
I'm Guillermo from Moonsoft support, we think this issue should be handled here as we're the ones asking for help about hikashop .

The workflow for this specific case is: the calculator adds product information to the table #__hikashop_product. Then redirects (using as you say, add to cart url) to the checkout. When we see images stored for a product in hikashop, we find the information inside the table #__hikashop_file instead, this is the 'other' table we mentioned. Or we're wrong and there is any other way to set the product image using only the product table?

As the calculator is not ready to manage the #__hikashop_file table by default, we suggested our user to confirm with you if any valid html tag, like an img with valid absolute url for ex, could be stored on a product custom field, so we can update it easily at #__hikashop_product table. as we were not sure if every part of the system, checkout, invoices, etc, will show properly this kind of information.


Thanks

I have created a custom field of the table "product"of the type "image". I have set all the display setting on "YES".

The only thing which is not totally clear for me is: "store the path of the file in the column of that custom field in the hikashop_product table and store the image data in the upload safe folder."

I do not know how to do this with the right PHP coding but maybe Moonsoft can help me with that.

Hi,
yes, that would be the best solution indeed. Create the custom field at hikashop side typed image as suggested, and then you can fill it from your calculator using the image name. I think we can go back to calcbuilder forum now, we can point you to a specific tutorial there in case you need further help to configure the calculator logic.
Many thanks to hika support for the prompt response.

I have not succeeded to show the image defined by Calcuilder in the Hikashop checkout.

I am not sure if I did everything right, maybe I have made a mistake at the hikashop side so that is the reason why I post the enclosed attachment here. I

In the attachement you can see at the left hand side the screens generated by Calcbuilder at the URL www.atlasacomfa.nl/nl/alumon-calculatie

In Calcbuilder a image is defined and I want to show this image in the Hikashop checkout as shown in the right hand side of the attachment.

Below you can see the custom field which is created. Are the configuration and settings correct?

What am I doing wrong?

The suggested code for the show_block_cart is working. Thanks for this solution!

Can I use the same code for the show_block_img? And where do I have to place it?

Best regards,
AdK

Thanks for the reply.

I am an absolute beginner in PHP coding so I am not sure if I have understood everything. I have to parse the next code in show_block_img :

if(!empty($this->element->alumon)) $img->url = $this->element->alumon;

The only line containing the code "echo '<img" is

if(!$this->config->get('thumbnail')) {
	if(!empty ($this->element->images)) {
		echo '<img itemprop="image" src="' . $this->image->uploadFolder_url . $image->file_path . '" alt="' . $image->file_name . '" id="hikashop_main_image" style="margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;display:inline-block;vertical-align:middle" />';

Perfect! Thanks a lot, it is working now.

There is only one little thing left which is not so important but I will mention it any away.

When you change the number of articles and you click on refresh the image will disappear. See attachment.

The image appears again when you refresh the page with the refresh button of your browser.

Hi,

The img tag is still there. The only difference in the HTML aera is the code

::before
