Hi everybody , I read a lot of posts but I didn't find a complete answer.
I need to create a website where I'll use Hika only to collect orders (no needs to create invoice or manage shipping point and address and payments).
Customers involved in this project aren't very skilled to use the computer so I need to have the minimum action (Imean click) done by them to submit an order.
In order to do so I don't let users to see detalied info in product view (I disable the link) , I only would to show the listing product (via menu , one voice of menu per category).
Until now I didn't found a way to show some custom "product" field in the DIV view of the listing (and the same field in the email notification.. but for that I saw I need the business version ... currently I'm working on Essential, I'll upgrade later to business).
In other posts I read about custom field talking about item table etc... sorry I only see PRODUCT,address,categorie and user Table , never see item table ... am I doing something wrong ? So to show the product table field in Listing product,/notification/invoice , is it possible without big customization ?
Is it possible to show the characteristic (I need 3-4 choises for each products) in the menu listing product (div) or it is mandatory to "click" to go inside the product view ?
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,

The custom fields of the table "item" are only available with the Business edition so it is normal that you couldn't create them.
Once you have them, make sure that the "display custom item fields" option of your products listing is turned on via the menu Display->Content menus and you will see them on your listing. They will be added automatically to the cart, the order, the invoice and the emails.

thanks a lot Nicolas.
Is there a way to show any of the custom PRODUCT field on listing product view to avoid to force the visitors to jump everytime into the product details ?
I would show in the listing 2 or 3 custom product field (on totals of 6).
thanks

You can easily have product custom fields value displayed on the products listing by adding something like that:
<?php echo $this->row->CUSTOM_FIELD_COLUMN_NAME; ?>
in the file listing_img_title of the view product via the menu Display->Views. Of course, you need to replace CUSTOM_FIELD_COLUMN_NAME by the actual column name of the custom field.

thanks for your real immediate answer.
I tried your suggestion , it works fine.
I apply the modification in the listing_img_desc file since I'm using DIV with layout "Image and description".
I guess I've done the right things since in this way I can see the custom field.
thanks again
