Different units in one shop

Hi, I would like to have some articles sold by molume (m³) and some by piece (per stuk). is this possible ?
I tried adding a custom field an making it visible in the backend only (made it a single item dropdown box with values "stuk", "m³" and "m") ... but I could not find how to change the content of this field in the backend. I found somewhere else how to change this in the frontend (the text behind the price) ( www.hikashop.com/en/forum/2-general-talk...ter-price.html#85659 ) but since I can't change the unit of an article in the backend (yet) I haven't even gone there yet.

I keep looking at the product-page and the category-page, but I can't seem to find it.

Hi,

I guess that you can use the volume option, no ?
www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentatio...form.html#additional

Volume : You can enter the length, width and height of your product as well as the dimension unit in which you enter them. They will be used in shipping methods calculations.

After that a product custom field could not be changed by the user in the front end. If you want a user defined value, you have to use an "item" custom field.

Regards,

I'm not sure if i can use the volume fields ... Can I leave some of them empty to make it a lenth article? I want the customer to be able to enter the dimensions he wants.
I'm making a proof of concept for a customer and he wants the user to enter width and length for some articles and piece for others. In the screenshot i attached i used m3 (my proof of concept sells volumes of air) but it should be more dynamic if possible. He sells parts by piece and mounted products by length x width (surface)

That is why i made a custom field and wanted to change it in the backend for every item ... That way every item could have its own unit... I thought

I think I found out more ...

I needed to create the custom field in the PRODUCT table ... not in the item-table... that way it is editable in the backend just fine ... now to replace the PER_UNIT with my own custom field ...

I added

if (isset($this->row->verkoopeenheid)){echo $this->row->verkoopeenheid;}else{echo JText::_('PER_UNIT');}

to the Product/listing_price.php instead of echo JText::_('PER_UNIT'); for my templates frontend and that did the trick ...

I can now choose per product what the sales-unit is and it shows up on the frontend ... nice ... thanks for the help

:laugh: I LOVE this kind of flexibility ... thanks
