It will solve both your problems and allow to have products with images selectors and it will work fine with the options. You want to create 5 custom fields of the table "item" and of the type "radio" via the menu Display>Custom fields. Then, for their values, you want to have translation keys like that: IMAGE1 IMAGE2 etc Then, in your HikaShop configuration, add translation keys like that under the languages tab: Code: IMAGE1="<img src='http://mywebsite.com/myimage.jpg'/>" [ www.hikashop.com/download/languages.html#modify](https://www.hikashop.com/download/languages.html#modify) The following user(s) said Thank You: [Spark@jumpstart](/forum/user/39893-spark-jumpstart "View Spark@jumpstart's Profile") Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzMyLWNvbnRlbnQtY3JlYXRpb24vODg1NjMxLWNoYXJhY3RlcmlzdGljcy1hbmQtb3B0aW9ucz90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[Spark@jumpstart](/forum/user/39893-spark-jumpstart "View Spark@jumpstart's Profile")** - [![Spark@jumpstart's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/39893-spark-jumpstart "View Spark@jumpstart's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/39893-spark-jumpstart) - Warren Less More - Posts: 9 - Thank you received: 0 - - - - [](http://www.hedgehoglane.co.za) - 10 years 3 months ago [\#245852](#245852) by [Spark@jumpstart](/forum/user/39893-spark-jumpstart "View Spark@jumpstart's Profile") Replied by *[Spark@jumpstart](/forum/user/39893-spark-jumpstart "View Spark@jumpstart's Profile")* on topic *[Custom fields](/forum/32-content-creation/885631-characteristics-and-options#245852 "-- url of the page with the problem -- : www.hedgehoglane.co.za -- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.3 -- Joomla version -- : 3.6.0 -- Browser(s) name and version -- : Firefox HI I have a product which is a package.
