Creating donate item

Hello again,

I managed to make it work on a brand new Hikashop installation...
I've not a clue why it doesn't work on the other site... Still have to investigate.

I am still trying to figure this out. In the custom field settings the "core" is in red and not green. Could this be why it isn't working? What does "Core" mean exactly?
I did see your working example and so I know it has to be something simple. I did post screen shots of my configuration but I'm not sure they were looked at.
Could I please get some response on this post? Why isn't this just built in to the store as a plugin and already configured? Just wondering.

This was why it wasn't working. In Extension Manager: Manage the HikaShopCustom Price plugin wasn't turned on. Thanks.
I also added the code you submitted earlier into the plugin.

Thanks for adding the functionality. The timing is amazing. I am not just building out a Joomla site but also the Linux server underneath. I also came across Web Server Software that is as functional as a Windows program that lets me create domains, FTP, SSL at a click of a button. The software is called Webuzo. Without this the task would have been overwhelming. They also added SSL into it just this month and I assumed that the functionality was already in their software. I seem to be leading a charmed life.

Many thanks for a great product and for your support!

I have a similar problem but I can't enable the custom_price plugin. When I downloaded it and tried to install the system said the folder was occupied. I must have got the plugin automatically with the Hikashop download. I checked through Filezilla and the custom_price plugin is there in the plugins/system folder.

But I cannot see the plugin on the component interface (Hikashop>system>configuration>plugin) and I cannot find it in the Joomla interface (Extensions>Plugin Manager)

Any idea how to reinstall the plugin so I can enable it?

That's the strange thing. It isn't there but I can't add it as the system thinks it is there!?

My mistake - I found it once I looked for "HikaShop Donation"

And it works!

Hi,

I'm having the same problem - (the 'Amount to donate' field only appears if the 'Product' has a price other than zero). It works if I set a price.

Can you point me to the file I need to edit so I can leave the price empty / zero.

Thanks

Steve

Great. That makes sense and works.

Thanks

Hi,

Quick question, since a custom field is used to create the donation feature; can the "hide custom field" work on on individual product or is it a global setting? I have other products that I want to have custom fields to show but for donation products it seems redundant and want to hide it for donation items. Or can you suggest a work around?

see attached

Thanks

I want to do this whether one is looking at the shopping cart module or the cart within checkout and email notifications to buyer. Is this possible?

thanks

Success! It works. Thanks for the advice.

.hikashop_cart_item_amount { display:none; }

works across all the views.

I installed on new site with Joomla 2.5.11 hika business version. Is there a reason that the Custom_price plugin doesn't appear so I can enable but I see when I look at the file structure thru FTP file manager that I see the files in the backend files in the extension folder.

Any advice?
Thanks

Ah, issue resolved. Thanks

I've ran into an issue since creating the donate product feature. Is there a way to remove the "free" under the Product view for just this one product rather than through the global change. See attached for example.
