Even when the products are created/edited via HikaMarket on the frontend, these triggers should allow you to plug yourself after the product edition/creation and allow you to access the files uploaded by the users.

Guess I was not thinking straight o_O Can I access any of the file data information directly from within the onAfterProductCreate method? eg as an attribute of $element or will I need to extract this information manually by cross referencing #__hikashop_product.product_id and #__hikashop_file.file_ref_id TIA /DM --- [ deeemm.com](http://deeemm.com) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzMxLWRldmVsb3BtZW50Lzg2MjE0NC1tdWx0aS12ZW5kb3ItcGx1Z2luLXByb2Nlc3MtdXBsb2FkZWQtZmlsZXM/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[Jerome](/forum/user/80-jerome "View Jerome's Profile")** - [![Jerome's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar80.png)](/forum/user/80-jerome "View Jerome's Profile") - [ Offline](/forum/user/80-jerome) - HikaShop core developer Less More - Posts: 26400 - Thank you received: 4079 - - [](http://obsi.dev) - 13 years 1 month ago [\#124290](#124290) by [Jerome](/forum/user/80-jerome "View Jerome's Profile") Replied by *[Jerome](/forum/user/80-jerome "View Jerome's Profile")* on topic *[multi-vendor plugin - process uploaded files](/forum/31-development/862144-multi-vendor-plugin-process-uploaded-files#124290 "Hi My site uses hikamarket multi-vendor to allow users to sell downloadable files.

TIA /DM")* Hi, I checked the code and I see that there is no specific triggers for the "file save" in HikaShop and HikaMarket does not add triggers for the "file upload" in the front-end. For the trigger "onAfterProductCreate" and "onAfterProductUpdate", you can have the files in some conditions but the files are stored in another table. So I think that the best will be an addition of triggers. In the table "hikashop_file", you can find the product files using the "file_type" column ("product" value) and the "file_ref_id" (which will contains the "product id").

TIA /DM")* Hi Jerome, Thanks for looking into that for me. onAfterProductCreate / onAfterProductUpdate should be adequate for my needs, I can fetch the filename from the #__hikashop_file table. Thinking about this it might actually be better to carry out the file actions that I need to do after the upload / update so that there is no delay to the user in the front end. I have a couple of other questions related to the plugin but I will start a new thread for these as they are a bit off topic.
