Front End Submission

Hi there, I was wondering if it is possible to have the functionality of adding products from the front end?

Will explain why - I am looking to build a real estate type website, where agents can register and input properties onto the site, where I would look to charge them for this. I know of course that hikashop is made to use as an online shop, but as I am very comfortable using hikashop (and don't like the look of the real estate extensions available for purchase), I was wondering if I could achieve what I'm looking for with a few tweaks here and there on hikashop?

Like I say, I just need for registered users to have the ability to input their own products, and then pay for it. Or possibly I could give users the option of buying a submission to the website, then at the checkout process giving them the option to be able to input text and upload images??

Do you think any of these ideas are possible?

Thanks very much,

Keith

Hi,

There is no multi vendor feature for now in HikaShop to accomodate with front end products submission.
However, having the user enter additional information to a product while purchasing it is possible. So your last suggestion is doable. You would need to create custom fields of the table "order" (to have them on the checkout) or of the table "item" (to have them directly on the product page) via the menu Display->Custom fields in the Business edition.
That will allow your users to upload files and input text.

Hi Nicolas, hope you're well.

Many thanks for your response on this. I have now managed to achieve what I wanted, on this, but with some limitations, which I was hoping you could help with.

On my site now, on the checkout screen there is now 'Additional Information' at the bottom. Basically my customers are buying to advertise a property through my site, so I wanted for them to be able to give me the details of the property (address, pictures etc etc), this is achieved in the additional information fields. However, what I would like is for the checkout to supply the additional information fields separately for each property, ie if the customer has paid for 2 properties, for the additional information box to appear twice, once for each property. Is this possible? Some piece of coding that could be input so that upon checkout the system generates a set of extra input fields for each item in the cart?

Sorry if what I'm asking for doesn't make sense!!

Oh, and also, how do I change the 'Additional Information' label to a label of my choice please?

I'm not sure how to provide you with a private link to my website, can you possibly let me know your email address so I can send you one?

Thanks very much,

Keith

Hi,

1. In that case, I would recommend you to use custom fields of the table "item" and not "order". That way, the users will be able to enter the information on each product page before adding the product to the cart.
It's not possible to duplicate the custom fields dynamically on the checkout based on the number of products in the cart.

2. For the text, you can change it like any other text via a translation override:
