Custom Field (item) for every single item in cart

Joomla: 3.3
HIKA: 2.3

Hi everyone,
I want to use HIKA to sell courses to subscribers.
I created a product named "course 1" and -since I want the customer to enter the subscriber-name and age (which can be different from the customername)- two custom fields (subscriber-name and subscriber-age).
Everything works as expected: When adding the product to the cart, name and age must be entered.

My problem occurs, when a customer wants to add two subscribers to a course: If the customer just changes the amount of products (before adding to cart or even within the cart while checkout) only ONE name and age is beeing asked for - but I need a name for every single subscriber!
I see two solutions:
1. there is an option (I didn't find yet) to enter the custom item-fields for every single product
2. there is an option (I didn't find this one either) to prevent HIKA from changing the amount number, so the amount will always be "1". If two subscribers are needed, then the product must be added twice to the cart.
Any ideas are welcome - thanks in advance!

I can only answer #2, but that safely:

Yes, that option exists. In the backend, go to -> System -> Configuration -> Main tab -> Product section. There'll you find the parameter "Display the quantity field on the product page". Relevant for you: either "No", or - if you have some products where you still want the quantity field - "On a per product basis". In case of the latter, the default is no display, but you can enable it for each product in the backend.

Hi,

The simplest will be to change the option "Display the quantity field on the product page" to "No display".
That way, the user will have to add the products one at a time to the cart, each time filling the custom fields.

Thanks a lot - that's (almost) the solution.
But I can still edit the quantity when viewing the cart - is there an option to disable that as well?

Hello,
The solution will probably b to edit your cart module and set the "Show quantities in the cart" option to NO.

Almost there...quantity-field is now disabled in product-display and HIKA-cart-module - but still visible in the checkout-process (the "hika_checkout_cart"). Is there an option to disable the quantity-field there (but I need to keep the "delete product"-link)?

You'll need to edit the view "cart" under "checkout" as well.
