There was a problem with the update of the file zone just after the "manual" upload. This problem will be fixed in the next release (that I hope publish soon, changelog is mostly written). About the product code, it looks like you didn't have it in your screenshots and you have an empty product name too. I don't know what options you activated in HikaMarket but the product code is generally determined using the product name if you don't specify it (the product code). HikaMarket have some features to avoid the product code duplication, trying to always generate a unique product code. But if you don't specify any product name, it could be a little bit complicated for HikaMarket to have a working base for his product code generation.

I said that there is no link between the upload and the rest. When you save your product, the file is already uploaded so there is no link at all between the two parts. The problem is when you save your product because your product name is empty and I still don't know anything of your configuration so I can't tell you more but it is not a good thing that the product name if empty. Don't you think ? Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.

I sell digital files on my website which are books, so I need to upload them. I can upload them from the administrator end with no problem. I'd like for my vendors to be able to upload their files from the front-end so that I don't have to upload their files for them. When I upload files on the admin end, I don't use a name for the file in the upload area, but I do name them in the main area. I thought that would work on the front-end for my vendors. Is it possible at all to upload files on the front end? If I need to, I can let you look at my configuration.
