HOWEVER, the myface.jpg from one customer won't be overwritten by a file with the same name uploaded by someone else. HikaShop will automatically modify the file name of the new file. Also, only the person who created the order linked to that file or an admin will be able to display it. So the system is already safe and there is no need to have different folders for different customers/orders. If you can't see the uploaded file of an item custom field in the backend, it's probably that you turned off the backend display settings of the field. Edit it, make sure that the display settings are turned on and save the settings. If you still don't see anything for an order with such custom field please provide: - a screenshot of the settings of the custom field - a screenshot of the details of that order.

A duplicate filename gets renamed (only if the file content is different though ??) so that's good Also, we reinstalled Hikashop 2.6.4 for other reasons and the Item Custom Field now works - we see the uploaded file in the backend order view AND in the customer frontend order history view. I'm sure this was not working in 3.0.0.

Where artwork upload is concerned, the best time to process it is after the order has been completed and ordering accepted (so after the "end" process). I can see that it is possible in the "back end" to do this, but is there anyway to configure the cart process to complete the payment transaction and then go to the "upload page" i.e. after the order has been processed. (see first image) In the same way, is it possible to add the upload custom field to the customer's order details (see second image) - [ ![current-upload-state.png](/forum/attachment/35304) ](/forum/attachment/35304 "...load-state.png") [ ](/forum/attachment/35304?download=1 "...load-state.png") - [ ![adding-upload-artwork-extra-field.png](/forum/attachment/35305) ](/forum/attachment/35305 "...xtra-field.png") [ ](/forum/attachment/35305?download=1 "...xtra-field.png") Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzM1LW9yZGVycy1tYW5hZ2VtZW50Lzg4ODAyMS1jdXN0b20tZmllbGQtZmlsZS11cGxvYWQ/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")** - [![nicolas's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar63.png?1793428657)](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") - [ Offline](/forum/user/63-nicolas) Less More - Posts: 86363 - Thank you received: 14297 - - 9 years 10 months ago - 9 years 10 months ago [\#258200](#258200) by [nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") Replied by *[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")* on topic *[Custom Field - File Upload](/forum/35-orders-management/888021-custom-field-file-upload#258200 "-- HikaShop version -- : 3.0.0 -- Joomla version -- : 3.6.5 Some of our products require a file upload.

Yes, if it's the exact same file, there is no need to rename it. HikaShop will directly use the file since it also checks who can access it and that once a customer uploaded it, he can't modify the file. 2. Ah, I hadn't understood that the problem was with the 3.0. Indeed I was able to reproduce the problem with it and it's now fixed. You can download the install package of the 3.0 again on our website and install it on yours to get the patch. 3. There is no option to have custom fields after the checkout or on the order details page. Last edit: 9 years 10 months ago by [nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile").
