Adding price to a custom field

Hi,

There is no option to charge for custom fields.
You have two ways to go about it:
1. The simplest is to create an option and add it to your product so that the user select the number of words he wants and that changes the price of the product and then let him enter them in the custom field. The issue with that solution is that the user might enter a different number of words than what he selected and you would have to deal with that with him manually.

2. The other solution is to create a quantity price override plugin to modify the price of the product in the cart based on the custom field. You can see the developer documentation for that here:
www.hikashop.com/support/support/documen...r-documentation.html
We actually have an example of such override plugin here:
demo.hikashop.com/index.php?option=com_h...ct&task=show&cid=214
The issue with that solution is that you need to be a developer to do it or ask one to do it for you.

Hi,

Since the previous message in that thread (three years ago) , a plugin has been created.
Please note that plugin is only working with "order custom fields" and not with "item custom fields".
www.hikashop.com/component/hikashop/product/cid-202.html

But if you want to support the "item custom field", it would require a specific development to create a plugin dedicated to that task.

Hello,

The plugin "Custom Field price" allow to add a price into the cart depending the value of an order custom field.
In order to let the plugin work, you first need to have some "order custom field" in your checkout.

To do so, you first need to check the configuration of your order custom field (in the "display" section you have to be sure that the field is display in the front--end) and check your checkout workflow configuration (to be sure that the "fields" block is right there).
Once you have your order custom field ; you could then see to configure an instance for the "custom field price".
If you have issues ; please provide screenshot of the order custom field configuration, some details about your website (hikashop version number) and if possible, a link.

Regarding the plugin configuration ; via "HikaShop > System > Plugins", you would be able to create a "new" instance for the "custom field price" plugin, as describe in the plugin product page description (cf link in my previous post).

Hi,

As Jerome said, make sure that you have the "fields" block added in your "checkout workflow" in the HikaShop configuration.
Without it, the custom order fields won't display.
Also, in the settings of your custom order fields, you have a display setting for the checkout and you need to make sure it is activated.
And finally, in the custom order fields setings, you can restrict the custom fields to only some products or some categories. So that could also explain why you don't see them if you don't have the correct products in the cart based on what you configured in the custom fields settings.

Hello,

The "fields" block that you can add in your checkout workflow just allow the edition of the fields.
For the moment, if you want to display content of the fields , it would require to override the view in order to change a part of the code behind.
With HikaShop 3.x and the new checkout system, we have in our TODO list the fact that the checkout blocks will have more settings including a "readonly" one. Unfortunately, that feature is not completed yet and it's still under development.

The item custom fields are displayed by the cart block ; they are not editable but there is a "display" setting in the item fields to indicate where you want to display them (as read only) ; like the cart module, the checkout, the emails, etc.
You also have some "display" settings for the ordre custom fields regarding the emails but there is no setting to display them as read only in the checkout since the "fields" block is there to edit them.

But since you're using HIkaShop 2.2.3 ; a lot of features that I'm talking about are not available in your version.
Either way, some override of the checkout fields block would be require if you want to just display the fields in a specific step of your checkout.

I hope that my explanation is clear enough.

Hello,

It would depend on what you want to do exactly ; what kind of "rule" you want to have for your item custom fields.

Hi,

You can configure an option for your checkbox:
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/i...ct-form.html#options
Create a $5 product in an unpublished category with its product selection method set to checkbox and then add that product as option of the main product to get the checkbox. Then, you can create a custom item field to have the input field below the option checkbox on the product page.

Alternatively, you can have a small plugin with a custom item field to change the price of the product based on what is in the custom field once you add the product to the cart.
You can see an example of such plugin here:
www.hikashop.com/marketplace/product/146...rice-word-count.html
That plugin while multiply the price of the product by the number of words (separated by space) in a custom item field.
So, by slightly modifying that plugin, you would be to achieve what you want without the need of a checkbox.
If you have someone developing a solution for you, then, basing themselves on that plugin, it should be easy for them.

Hi,

For anyone reading this thread, the custom field price plugin now supports custom item fields too.

Hi,

Sure, it's here:
www.hikashop.com/marketplace/product/202...rice-by-obsidev.html

Hi,

Note that this plugin is developed by a third party developer called Obsidev. And the way it is done, it indeed only calculates the price once the product is in the cart.
However, remember that this thread is almost 5 years old.
Since then, we released our own price calculations plugin:
www.hikashop.com/marketplace/product/148...ce-calculations.html
This plugin will directly display the calculated price on the product page. On top of that, you can use complex calculation formulas with it. So it can do a lot more things.
