Adding Custom Fields to Product listing

Hi There,

I was wondering if it was possible to be able to add custom fields into the Products listing in the backend orders.

Hi,
That's possible but it will require some code customization through the file "show_products" of the "order" view of your back-end template through the page "Hikashop->Display->Views".

Hi Mohamed, thanks for letting me know it can be done.

So I've added 2 custom fields in the Order table which have appeared under 'Additional information' which is a good start, but I need these two fields to appear next to each product under the Product list, could you suggest how I could do that?

By viewing the page source I can see my new code is

<tr class="hikashop_order_additional_customfield hikashop_order_additional_customfield_delivery_code">
<td class="key">Delivery Code</td>
<td><span></span></td>
</tr>
<tr class="hikashop_order_additional_customfield hikashop_order_additional_customfield_delivery_confirm">
<td class="key">Confirm Delivery</td>
<td><span></span></td>

Alternatively, could these extra fields be added to the popup screen when you press the edit action button in the Product list?

Hi,

1. As I told you the solution will be to edit the file "show_products" of the "order" view of your back-end template through the page "Hikashop->Display->Views". The best way to do what you want will be to add these lines :

      <th class="hikashop_order_item_price_title title"><?php echo 'Delivery Code'; ?></th>
      <th class="hikashop_order_item_price_title title"><?php echo 'Confirm Delivery'; ?></th>

      <th class="hikashop_order_item_price_title title"><?php echo JText::_('UNIT_PRICE'); ?></th>

      <td class="key">Code to display : Delivery Code</td>
      <td class="key">Code to display : Confirm Delivery</td>

      <td class="hikashop_order_item_price_value"><?php
        echo $this->currencyHelper->format($product->order_product_price, $this->order->order_currency_id);
        if(bccomp($product->order_product_tax,0,5)) {
          echo '<br/>'.JText::sprintf('PLUS_X_OF_VAT', $this->currencyHelper->format($product->order_product_tax, $this->order->order_currency_id));
        }
      ?></td>

Hi Mohamed, thanks for that. It worked a treat putting the code in the right place, but what I was after originally was for them to be editable based on what the custom fields were (Delivery Code is a text field and Confirm Delivery is a checkbox)

Hi there,

You have to replace this by the code to display your custom field.
It should be something like <?php echo $product->nameofyourcustomfield; ?>

HI Eliot, thanks for your reply.

When you say "replace this by the code" do you mean have it like this,

<td class="key">Code to display : Delivery Code<?php echo $product->delivery_code; ?></td>
<td class="key">Code to display : Confirm Delivery<?php echo $product->delivery_confirm; ?></td>

as that hasn't seemed to do anything. Sorry for my lack of experience in PHP!

Hi,

Yes that should be ok, can you give us a screenshot of your custom fields listing ?
Are they product custom fields or order custom fields ?

They are orders so I changed it to the following to see if it worked but no,

<td class="key">Code to display : Delivery Code<?php echo $order->delivery_code; ?></td>
<td class="key">Code to display : Confirm Delivery<?php echo $order->delivery_confirm; ?></td>

Hi, thanks again for all of your involved help!

Unfortunately I'm still not getting the exact results I was orginally after. So when I created the new custom fields, I can see them appear in Additional Information as show in the following screenshoot.

This will be more complex than just displaying the text because it will require to handle the saving of the data with JavaScript/AJAX. So, this will be a lot more than 2 lines of modifications so we can't help you with that as part of our standard support
You'll have to find a third party developer in order to help you on that, I would recommend to contact our partners for a quote on the project:
