I know of a built-in HikaShop system that does just that. I upload the file to the product and make it free to download. The problem is that I want to know how many times a file has been downloaded. This is not possible in HikaShop. That's why I'm thinking of using the jDownloads component. It has a plugin that with a specific string / {jd_file file == 1} / previews a download button / Download /. And the component provides statistics for downloads. I created a Custom field - Table-> product, Field type-> text, Column name-> dw_file, Label-> Download, Front-end-> NO. There I enter the string / {jd_file file == 1} / in the product. I found in the forum: $fieldsClass = hikashop_get('class.field'); $fields = $fieldsClass->getFields('frontcomp', $this->row, 'category'); foreach ($fields as $fieldName => $oneExtraField) { if ($oneExtraField->field_namekey == 'dw_file') $myfile = $fieldsClass->show($val,$this->row->$key); } … echo $myfile;?> I put this code in product-> listing_img_title and product-> show_default, but I can't figure out why it doesn't work.

Best Regards")* Hi, The main reason this doesn't work is because the line : $fields = $fieldsClass->getFields('frontcomp', $this->row, 'category'); should be: $fields = $fieldsClass->getFields('frontcomp', $this->row, 'product'); if you want to get the custom fields of the table "product" and not the custom fields of the table "category". Change that and it should hopefully work.

I ask for your assistance. Best Regards")* Hi, The line: $myfile = $fieldsClass->show($val,$this->row->$key); should be: $myfile = $fieldsClass->show($oneExtraField,$this->row->$fieldName); in your previous code. Now, the error "Call to undefined method hikashop::show()" cannot happen with your previous code. That would indicate that $fieldsClass is of the class "hikashop" which is not possible. So you must have changed something else. And it's normal that $field->field_value is empty as this variable contains the list of values to choose from in dropdowns, radio / checkbox lists, etc. If you don't want to use the show function, you can directly do: $myfile = $this->row->$fieldName; This should display the same thing as with the call to the show function for custom fields of the type "text".
