Adding custom fields to products

Chart shows this is available in both Essential & Business but there is something "Coming Soon" related to it.

Please clarify...

I am attempting to add custom fields to products for a customer to type information in during the checkout process.

Perhaps I am missing something?

The "coming soon" is related to custom product fields which you can only set from the back end. You will be able to create filters on listing of products in order to filter products displayed based on the values of the custom fields.

What you want to use is custom order fields which are only in the business edition and which will appear during the checkout process.

Any idea on how long it will be before we see the custom product fields which can be set from the back end?

You can already create custom fields of the table product or item based on whether you want to have the possibility to enter information on the back end and display it to the user on the product page, or you want to have your users enter information on the product page and have it attached to the product in the cart/order.
That's already possible.
What is not yet possible is to have filters on products listings on the front end based on the first type of custom fields.

That's great - sorry I didn't realize that.

You couldn't just explain how could you?

I have added a characteristic, which I should think is where I should be, but I cannot stop it showing as a drop down choice on the front end page.

What I want is to be able to add a product, in this case a caravan, and add how many beds it has. I would like to add this in a separate custom field in the 'Add Product' page so that it will display on the front page, but it shouldn't be a drop down menu or a choice to the visitor.

Thanks very much for your help, I am nearly done with my questions - promise.

Then, you want to create custom fields of the table "product". You can do that via the menu Display->Custom fields if you have a commercial version of HikaShop.

The "Display limited to" option allow you to restrict a custom field display depending on the value set for another one.

Hi
1 could you explain how a new field ( type name of fields like text / image and value related to the name fields( text/path image) are store in MYSQL ?
2 Does each field are attach to they respective table ?
3 How export ( backup) import from different hikashop website work refer to new fields ?
4 is there a way to add new tables rather only fields of predefine table name ?
5 Does hiskashop is bundle by default by using custom fields for table adress ?


@nicolas
when i go to custom field i have 4 items ( adress used product and category ) see my capture screeen .
So I have less items that your capture screen of "Field page " . Is there a way to add new table ? Is there a hikashop documentation that explain how to achieve this and why create new table could solve specific problem .

You can add such code in the file "listing_table" of the view "product" via the menu Display>Views:

@lionel75
The other tables are available with the Business edition. It's indeed possible to add more tables with plugin triggers but there is no documentation for that yet. A good example is HikaMarket multivendor which adds a new "vendor" table there via its hikashop integration plugin so that you can create custom fields specific to vendors.

Hi
@nabilazougagh
The best solution will be to set the "Type of layout" option of your product listing content menu to table, and to edit the listing_table file of the product view of your front-end template.
@lionel75
1. When you create a custom field, regarding its type and table, a field will be created through one of Hikashop tables (product/address/..) in your database.
2.. yes
3. if you want to export custom fields, you'll have to export/copy your database
