Hi,
I don't know if this is possible as you have to save something to make changes but I'll try to explain what I need and why.

On my website I sell about 1500 products from a paper brochure of which about 600 different products are actually for sale every month. The prices of these products also change every month in the paper brochure and also the page numbers where these products are on are always different.

Because it is almost impossible to change the prices of 600 products every month (click, change price + OK, save and close) I decided to put my shop in catalog mode.
The paper brochure is also available in an online PDF file where customers can see the current prices of the products of that month.
The brochure is in German and the descriptions of the products are in Dutch on my website.
With Hikashop's catalog mode, I now only have to publish the products for sale every month in the backend list with a simple click without having to click on the product first to change something in it [example 1].

What I would like now is that I can also enter the page number of the paper/online brochure in the backend listing [example 2] and that it becomes visible in the frontend on which page of the brochure this product is located this month [example 3] so that the customer can easily look up the current price in the paper/online brochure.

Is it somehow possible to enter the page numbers of the published products in the backend listing without having to open each product individually and this page number of the paper/online brochure then appears on the frontend product listing?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

There is no option to do that.
It would require the customization of the product / listing.php view file for your backend template via the menu Display>Views by a developper to display an input field like that, and then some plugin to handle the saving of the values when modified.
So it's not impossible, but it requires spending some money for development.

As an alternative, if you're able to easily display all the products of a page on the same products listing page (with the filtering mechanism at the top or something), you can use the checkboxes on the left to select the products of a page, and then click on the "actions" button at the top. That will open a popup where you can select the action "update the values" on the column of your custom field where the page number is stored and enter the value you want for it. When, you validate, it will update the value in the custom field of all the products selected in one go.
