Fields being cleared when saving Product

Hi Nicolas,

I have a custom field on my product form, displayed on both back and front end. Field type varchar(255) - I use this to input the supplier website, usually with a link similar to this <a href=" www.enta.net.au " target="_blank"> www.enta.net.au

This works perfectly. However, whenever I go back in to the product to change any details, category, price etc this field is wiped out and replaced with just "<a href"

It means that every time I need to make a change to products, which is quite often - I have to re-enter the link.

Thanks and regards,
Jacqueline

The custom fields weren't supposed to handle HTML in the first place which is why it's not working properly. You need to change the line:
$html = $class->display($field,$value,$map,$inside,$options,$test);

by:
$html = $class->display($field,htmlspecialchars($value, ENT_COMPAT,'UTF-8'),$map,$inside,$options,$test);

in the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/field.php
We'll add that as I'm sure it will help others as well.

PERFECT!!

Thank you so much!
