In fact, I have previously created products with URLs like these and working well, but also does not allow to add new urls in teh "Files" area of these products.

Regards.")* Hi, We checked on our end, but this behavior is the same in all the editions of HikaShop and has been like that for a few releases. I've added that capability to the interface for next version of HikaShop. In the mean time, you can try to replacing the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/controllers/product.php with the one in this archive: *This attachment is hidden for guests. Please log in or register to see it.* But beware that this could potentially break something as it is meant for next version, not the current version.
