Make a second Description column

Hello

Is it possible to add a second description column to my product category pages?

Here is how my products are displayed now:
www.pssgpcshop.com/index.php/hikashop/ca...poly-2-vinylpyridine

I want to be able to sort them by the feature "MW #". The MW is within the descriptions currently. I would like to pull those out and make a new column with just the MW value.

Is this possible?

Hi,

To add new columns for products, you require HikaShop Essential (or Business) in order to have "product custom fields".

Regards,

Is the pricing for essential and business "one time" or do I pay monthly/yearly?

Can I easily upgrade from the free edition or do I have to do a full install and lose all of my categories/products and settings?

Hi,

The cost is : one time.
After one year you can choose to take a renewal (which is quite less than the original price) in order to continue having updates and support.

The upgrade is like the updates : you don't loose any configuration/product/categories/etc from your database and all of your overrides are kept (view, css, language...)

Regards,

Hello,

I have upgraded to the Business Edition.

Can you tell me how to display the custom field in the product table view?

Here is my product view:
www.pssgpcshop.com/index.php/hikashop/category/145-dextran

Attached is a screenshot of my product back end with the customer field name and value added to one product.

Hi,

It's pretty simple, edit your custom field and enable the option "Back-end Listing".

I already have that enabled. I need my customers to be able to see it in the product category view:
www.pssgpcshop.com/index.php/hikashop/category/145-dextran

It's not possible except if you add some code in the view.
Something like that can help you: www.hikashop.com/forum/product-category-...ng-table.html#141732

Perhaps you can help me because I do not know where to enter the code: echo $this->row->molecularweight;

I tried a couple of spots according to that other post and nothing worked for me.

Again I need to see the custom field in my product listing pages. If this does not work I will need to have a refund of the business edition.

Example of my product listing page:
www.pssgpcshop.com/index.php/hikashop/category/145-dextran

I want a column that labeled Molecular Weight, where I input the value for each product.

It seems you are using the layout "listing table".
So you have to go to Display>Views and search for this view.
Then you have to find this code:

And add
(feel free to add the translation or replace <?php echo JText::_('MOLECULAR_WEIGHT'); ?> by whatever you want.

Finally find the code
and add just below:
You can obviously change the position of this code by adding it somewhere else after or before an existing <td>
