Hi,

I sell stickers of dog breeds. By default the sticker had the breed name below the image, but I want to give the customer an optional field to change the breed name into the name of their dog.
I'm using HikaShop Essential but although I can create a custom field for (a) specific products(s), I can't get them to be displayed on the product after selection of options.

I don't want to spend another €50 on HikaShop Business just for that.

Is it possible?

Hello,

By default the sticker had the breed name below the image, but I want to give the customer an optional field to change the breed name into the name of their dog.

To do that you'll just have to create a custom item field via "Hikashop->Display->Custom fields" which are available through Hikashop's business edition.

I don't want to spend another €50 on HikaShop Business just for that.
Is it possible?

Sure adding some custom code to allow for it with Hikashop Essential would be possible but it will cost you way more than 50€.

Kind regards,
Mohamed.

What's the use of having custom fields in Essential?

Hi,

Custom fields of the table "product" in the Essential edition allow you to add extra information to products.
For example, you can see the "specifications" area added to the product page on our demo website:
demo.hikashop.com/index.php/en/hikashop/.../with-specifications
For example, if you want an extra field in the product edition page so that you can enter the ISBN number of books you're selling and have it displayed on the product page and searchable via the Joomla search system or the filter system in HikaShop Business.
Or if you want to add a specifications PDF to the products via a custom AJAX file field on each product to have a link displayed on the product page so that users can access it.

Oke, purchased the Business edition.
Now I wish to have (for some products) a free customer text field on the product page to enter a name / line before they add it to the cart.

I've been reading some docs, but still can't figure it out :(

I created a text field, to be displayed front end and required, but I don't see an input field on the products page :(

Hi,

Indeed, you need to choose the table "item" if you want the customer to be able to use the field. If it's "product", it will be for you in the backend product edit interface.
