We have some different kinds of products in our Shop and for the most of them, we have to place a "Statement" like ("You need a permit to buy" or "This product is only sold when... x or y"), statements like that. These are standard texts and always the same. It would be nice, if these Texts could be stored as "Template-Texts". If I put a new product to the store, it would be nice to enter the product specific parts like product name, description, size, weight, price, ... etc. and then choose such a Template-Text to be displayed below the product as a standard text. I know how to solve issue with the custom fields but I would like to do as less as possible custom-changes to the PHP-Scripts of the Shop. And why a text-template? It's simple. I can put a text to every product by hand and this text ever changes, then I have a problem (since I have to change all products by hand with this text). Otherwise I can change the text-template and it's done for all products. May I ask you to add such a possibility to one of the next versions of Hika-Shop maybe? You can see a sample of what i mean here: www.waffenmarti.ch/shop/pistolen/desert-...rtant_product_notice This "Wichtige Produktehinweise" ("Important product notice") is coded by myself, but this means a change in the displaying scripts which I want to avoid to make updates easier. I know, that the updates do not overwrite my changes, but if I change a script, then I will not get the latest version of this script unless I'm porting my changes manually to the new version of the script.

Thank you very much!")* Hello Xavier I know, that this would be possible when changing the view product / show_default but I would like to avoid that because I started with HIKA-Shop V. 1.6 Some of my changed view scripts have still this version, because I'm not that good in programming PHP and it is extreemly time-consuming if i have to write my changes in every new Hika-Shop Version. So I thought that it would be a nice feature for further versions of Hika-Shop to build that into the core files.
