Hello, before buying "HikaShop" Buisness, I have two questions about adding custom fields "upload image".

1. My customers need to send me from 5 to 15 images (perhaps even 20). Is that possible or will it take too long?
2. Can customers see a preview of their images that they have uploaded?

Thank-you for your answers!

Hi there,

First of all, you don't need to post two times on the forum, the team answering is the same ;). English is privileged since your problem may interest other people.
About your questions:
1 - This is theoretically possible, it will depend of your server. Obviously if the picture are too heavy, it will take a certain time but it should works.
2 - There is no preview of the uploaded image but it something we will think about.

I hope it will help you, if you still have any question... :)

I have a last question...

... I have only 3 products, for exemple :
- for the first product I would like the customer to be able to Upload 5 of his own images, with small thumbnail previews & add about 500 words (in a text box),
- for the 2nd product I would like the customer to be able to Upload 10 of his own images, with small thumbnail previews & add about 1000 words,
- for the 3rd product I would like the customer to be able to Upload 15 of his own images, with small thumbnail previews & add about 1500 words.

Then go to login & payment, obviously with a different price for each product.
I hope I've made myself clear!

Hi,

That is not a problem.
You can create different custom fields for your products by restricting to to different categories and adding these categories to your products accordingly.

Hello,

This is all getting good on my site!!!

Just coming back to you for a question about the preview image upload.
I need my customers to have a bigger preview of their images they're uploading as the preview off Hikashop is way too small.

Can you help me on how doing this???
Thank you

Hi,

What do you mean ? Where is the preview too small ? Could you do a screenshot so that we can see what you're talking about ?

Hello,

Sorry I got back so late to you, but here is the screenshot that you asked for. As you can see my customers can't really see which photos they've uploaded. Just need to make the preview bigger as I'll be giving them the choice to upload up to about 15 photos.

Hope this is clearer for you?

I don't think that this screenshot is handled by HikaShop but your browser.
Can you try with another browser and see if you have a preview there ?

Perhaps I'm explaining myself wrong...

I uploaded an image (avion.jpg)
Took a screenshot (working with Mac)
Opened it up in Photoshop and "circled in red the image preview" that my clients get when they upload an image.

The image is too small. If my clients are allowed to upload 15 images this could be confusing for them if they can't see which images they've already uploaded!

I hope I'm doing the wright thing???

Hi,

Sorry but the answer of Nicolas was right.
HikaShop does not display this thumbnail, it is the browser which do it. The all part "Choisir le fichier .... avion.jpg" is a generic HTML "input file" element. Your browser add a thmbnail feature in this HTML element.
There is no easy solution to display a thumbnail (I mean, in HikaShop) of the file that the user wants to upload. Maybe with a complex javascript script using "blob" and image processing features. But it is not something which is supported by all browsers so we are sure that many users won't be able to see the thumbnails of file that they don't have upload to the server yet.
(and because the file is not yet upload, the server can't display it. It as to be done in the client side. And it is very complicated to access to a file in the local computer in javascript.)

Ok I understand very well. But before I brought Hikashop Buisness, I asked if this was possible, and the answer was "it's something we can think about"...

Are you telling me that this is not possible at all, or it is something you might be able to help me with??

Hi,

In HikaMarket we introduce a new uploader system.
It allows you to upload files with drag & drop. The upload is done asynchronously so all files are not uploaded when you validate the form in the page, they are uploaded before.
When an image is right uploaded, the server have the file and could process it. That's why in HikaMarket, you can see the thumbnail of file that you have uploaded (without having the reload the page).

It is the system that we are currently improving in order to use it, not only in HikaMarket but in HikaShop too.
With this new feature it will be possible to have a dynamic upload with image thumbnail display.
You can try this feature in our demo website (Other Feature > HikaMarket) and see how it will looks like.

That's why we said that it is something which is planned. But it is not the same thing than a client-side script.
The HikaMarket uploader system have fallback feature which is compatible with old version of Internet Explorer. At this moment they don't have the progress bar but the upload is right done asynchronously and the thumbnail can be display for all browsers.

Hi,

If you want I just found a library in the "bootstrap" style.
jasny.github.io/bootstrap/javascript.html#fileupload

It not override the way that files are uploaded but the script allow you to display the thumbnail of the file that the user wants to upload.
But I don't know the compatibility of the library with the browsers.
