Custom fields for brands; Joomla User integration

-- HikaShop version -- : 4.0.0
-- Joomla version -- : 3.9.2
-- PHP version -- : latest

Hello,

Two questions:
1) Is it possible or will it be possible in the future to have custom fields for brands like we have for products?
2) Is there a way to integrate joomla users into product creation, like a custom field with a dropdown that accesses joomla's user database?

Thanks!

Hello Jerome,

Thanks for the quick reply.

Re: #2:

I have a website using hikashop (business edition) for event registration. Most of the event details are custom fields and this works well, however there is a bit of a dilemma for the event teachers. The teachers are currently setup as joomla users with a 3rd party plugin that adds some extra fields to users (bio, photo, custom fields, etc). I would like to continue using joomla users for displaying teachers, so in the backend, I wish to allow event creators to use a dropdown to select the event teachers, which is populated from joomla users.

ie. Custom field "teacher" that has a multiple select dropdown. That dropdown has 1 default value ("no teacher"). When a product is being created in the backend, I wish to access joomla users, select all the teacher users and populate the dropdown custom field with their names.

I looked in the hikashop code for products form to see how you add custom fields to the product new/edit display. I could add code here to check for the custom field "teacher" and populate it with joomla users, but I was wondering if there is a better way to do this?

That's a great idea, thanks!
