Hi Alain,

As it's said in the documentation (that you can display by clicking in the "Help" button in the configuration page):

Display custom item fields : Show custom fields in the product listing.

I hope it's clear enought, do not hesitate to ask if you any other questions :)

Sorry Eliot to look like an idiot, but what are the custom fields in this case ? because i checked in custom fields... on product table and in fact i've seen nothing that could fit my need....

i need for each variant to display close to the price (so on right part side of detailed product page) a small text what deals with what the license(so the new price) is about.
if standard license => text 1 close to price
if extended license => text 2 close to price

those 2 things have nothing in common with the product description, and therefore can not be written in product description....
it's relative only to product license type/price.

is it clearer ? :D

If you want to have different text for different variants next to the price, you can follow the instructions of the section 'I sell packed products, how can I change "each" text in the product page ?' of the FAQ:
www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentation/faq.html

You will need a custom field of the table "product".

Custom text only allows you to display text in the form. That's not the type you want to use.
You should use "text".

Hi Nicolas,

so i tried and unfortunately as i wrote before, custom fields on frond end are not displayed :(
look at the screenshot in attachment. i did what was written in FAQ link you sent me.
I see only "specifications"....but nothing below as it should be.



as you can see on screenshot below (htmlcode) the table whre specifications should be written is empty.
