Include a small bit of text and buy now button

I've got that, thanks for that.

I am trying to create a separate field for Author. So using 212.113.133.235/~englishr/index.php?opti...=childrens&Itemid=53 as an example, The listing would read The Nursery Alice and then Author: Lewis Caroll.

I have created the custom field author but how can I add it to the listing?

You have to edit one of the view files of the view product and add a line of PHP to display it in the listing.

something like that:
echo $this->row->COLUMN_NAME;

I have to the product listing_img_title (I have labelled it Author: to show you what happens) and I get 212.113.133.235/~englishr/index.php?opti...=childrens&Itemid=53

Is a custom field just for what a client completes when they register or can it be an additional field when someone adds a product? Please advise.

Are you sure that you have the good column name ?

There are several types of custom fields. Custom product fields can be used to set options on the back end. Custom item fields can be used to ask information to the user on the product page. Custom order fields can be used to ask information to the user on the checkout, etc.

I have completed it as the following:

Column name: author
Label: Author
Field Type: Text
Table: Address (but I can't change that).

My Php line that I introduced was:

<p><b>Author:</b><?php echo $this->row->author; ?></p>

I have no idea if what I've done is right!! :blink:

Address custom fields are only for the address of customers. They are not related to products.

If you want to have a custom product field called author, you should first delete this one and create a new one for the table product. Then, in the product options, you will be able to set the author and use the code I provided to display it on the listing.
Note that custom product fields are only available in commercial versions of HikaShop.

Ok no problem. How can I add an add to cart button on this listing? 212.113.133.235/~englishr/index.php?opti...=childrens&Itemid=53

The buttons are on the general product pages. Can I add the same button to the listings?

Goin the menu Display->Content modules and edit the module with the id 53. There you will have an option to activate the add to cart button.

Ok That works. So to clarify - if we wanted a separate author field in the product listing and a 20% calculation (using www.bookdepository.co.uk/category/2455/Childrens-Books as an example), it is achievable but we would have to pay for the Business version of HikaShop.

I just need to know this so I can relay it to my client. :kiss:
