How to integrate upload into checkout was created by Cheesydoodles
Hi I am setting up a site that needs an area that customers can upload their files once they have checked out. It is a site for a printing company and customers artwork needs to be uploaded once article of printing has been purchased. I am using Joomla 1.6. Can anyone let me know what is the best way and easiest way to do this, I am pretty new to joomla and php.

In the business edition of HikaShop, you can go in the menu Display->Custom fields and create a new field of the table order and of the type file so that your customers can upload a file during the checkout which you will be able to access on your end.

Does this mean I have to buy the commercial version before I can do this? I have looked and there doesn't seem to be an option for uploading files using a form. Is this added in the business edition?

You can always modify the HikaShop Starter files and add the upload system of your choice but that will require PHP skills. On the other end, you can do it in few clicks with HikaShop Business and you will have a lot of additional functionalities with that.

OK Thanks. This may be a daft question but if I upgrade to the business version will it keep everything I have set up? I don't fancy doing everything again.

Just a quick thought, can I do it by having the customer redirected to an upload page once paypal checkout is complete?

Yes, you don't loose any data or settings when updating or upgrading hikashop.
We still recommend to do a backup before installing any application on your website because you never know what can happen...

Yes. You would have to edit the views of HikaShop in order to add your redirect code in the after_end view via the menu Display->Views.

In my after_end view I have the following code
<?php
/**
* @package HikaShop for Joomla!
* @version 1.4.8
* @author hikashop.com
* @copyright (C) 2010 HIKARI SOFTWARE. All rights reserved.
* @license GNU/GPLv3 www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html
*/
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');
?>
<?php

Where would I put the redirect link?

at the end:

$app =& JFactory::getApplication();
$app->redirect("my_redirect_url");
