Custom Fields

There are 2 scenarios I would like to create a custom field for right now.

Firstly I would like to have the user be able to type a name to be engraved on a trophy. As they type the name I would like the price to increase or decrease depending on how many characters are typed. So lets say the product costs $10 and each character they type costs 10 cent.

Secondly I would like to allow a user to upload an image for the product they are purchasing. Lets say its a T-Shirt with 3 size variants. I want the user to be able to upload an image for each size they select.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
For both custom field you'll have to create custom fields with the table option set to Item :
1. For your first custom field, if you want to change your product price regarding the number of character that your customer have set for your custom field, you'll have to use some code customization but that won't be that easy and some developer skills will be required.

Note that you can use characteristics to set a "character range" selection.

2. For your second field, you'll just have to set the Field type to File.

When the user uploads the image where is it stored? i checked the order page and I haven't seen it there.

It is stored in media/com_hikashop/upload/safe
A link to it is available next to the product name on the order edition page and in the emails provided that you turned on the "backend listing" option of the custom item field.

Is there a way to make this pic clickable?

Hi,

Yes it's possible I guess. But where do you want to make it clickable ?

I want to be able to click the image so I can view it larger or download it.
Currently I have to right click and select view image in order to download it.

When you right click on it you can directly download it. No need to select view image.

Nevertheless, if you really want to make it clickable, you'll have to change the line:
return '<img class="'.$class.'" src="'.hikashop_completeLink('order&task=download&field_table='.$field->field_table.'&field_namekey='.urlencode(base64_encode($field->field_namekey)).'&name='.urlencode(base64_encode($value))).'" alt="'.htmlspecialchars($value, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8').'" />';
