Many thanks.")* Hi, Here is the code which handles the display of the checkbox custom fields values on the frontend: [ take.ms/vbwVo](http://take.ms/vbwVo) It's in the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/field.php As you can see, the separator there is already a comma followed by a space. So that should already be the case, unless that code has been changed on your website or something else is modifying the output. Could you provide a link to a product page with the issue so that we can look at it ? Can you also check that the code in the field.php is correct ?

I have it only on a localserver at the moment with wamp. Its strange, I found the code you mentioned and it had the space. But doesnt seem to generate like that. This is the code here: Code: class hikashopCheckbox extends hikashopRadioCheck { var $radioType = 'checkbox'; function display($field, $value, $map, $inside, $options = '', $test = false, $allFields = null, $allValues = null){ if(!is_array($value)){ $value = explode(',',$value); } return parent::display($field,$value,$map,$inside,$options,$test,$allFields,$allValues); } function show(&$field,$value){ if(!is_array($value)){ $value = explode(',',$value); } if(!empty($field->field_value) && !is_array($field->field_value)){ $field->field_value = $this->parent->explodeValues($field->field_value); } $results = array(); foreach($value as $val){ if(isset($field->field_value[$val])) $val = $field->field_value[$val]->value; $results[] = parent::show($field,$val); } return implode(', ',$results); } Thanks.
