Hi,

HikaShop will automatically display the custom user field on the profile edition page of Joomla in such cases.
So there is nothing to do actually in order to get what you want.

If the custom user fields don't display on the profile edition page, it means that either you turned off the option "Display custom user fields on user profile edition page" of the HikaShop user synchronisation plugin (that you can edit via the Joomla plugins manager), or that you have a view override of your Joomla profile page with customisation too important for the plugin to insert the fields in the form. Deleting the view override of the profile page would solve the problem in that case. You can do that in the folder templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_users via FTP.

I have checked and done this, but my custom field is not showing.

I have added a Profile Photo to the user-table, field type image. I have added this, because I use HikaMarket too and would like to use the Vendor image, as a large Cover background and then have a Profile Photo. Like Facebook has it = 2 images.

But I can't seem to get this working they way I would like.

Henrik

Hi,

Custom vendor fields are not displayed on the profile edition page. Only custom fields of the table "user" or "address" will appear.
That's probably why you don't see them.
Also, you'll only see them when you edit the profile. On the profile display page, they won't appear. So it would require adding custom code there if you want to have the custom field value to display on the profile page.

But is it not what I have done?

Added a custom field to 'user' table. I would then expect to see this in Joomla User Edit page, where you change Name and password and then here set a profile photo.
It's OK, that I don't see it in Profile display page, listings, vendors page, etc.
I know, that I need to do a lot of template override to get this part to work and show the why I would like. But to start, I need to be able to give my users the option to set and upload and change this User Profile Photo.

Hi,

Yes, you should see the field in the profile edition page.
If you don't then either you have unpublished the HikaShop User Synchronization plugin or you turned off the setting "Display custom user fields on user profile edition page" in that plugin, or there is a problem with the settings of that custom field.

As listed above, I have checked that HikaShop User plugin is published and show custom fields is enabled. I have also deleted template override, so that it runs default Joomla User Edit page. Still it does not show.

Adding image in back-end is saving OK. A look in database show correct reference to image.

So, if there is a problem with the setting of that custom field, whats the problem then? I added it as guided in documentation.

Hi,

Then, can you provide a backend access and a link to the profile edition page and a link to this thread through our contact form so that we can have a look at your custom field settings and the issue ?

Hi,

I was able to access your website.
So the issue was with your custom field. The "frontend" display setting was turned off and thus it was not displaying on the Joomla user edition page. After activating that setting, the custom field is displaying on the Joomla user profile edition page:

Hi
Yes, I see that it work now and sorry for not testing this. But I did not set it because of documentation:
[ Custom fields listing](http://www.hikashop.com/support/20-documentation/hikashop/tutorials/41-hikashop-field-listing.html)

*Front end : If set to yes, address and user customer fields will be used during the checkout process to ask more information about the customer. Product custom fields will be displayed as specifications on the product page.*

I don't want my customers (users) in the shop to upload an image during checkout process?! It make no sense.

What I'm trying to achieve is two sets of images in profile.
Vendor has: Vendor image, and User image.
HikaShop users (Customers) has: User image

In other words, I still don't get why Joomla 3 does not as default have option to set User Image (avatar) on Registred Users. I had hoped that I could achive this with HikaShop/HikaMarket and avoid getting a 3rd extension, just to achieve this.

Hi,

There is no separate option for now in HikaShop custom user fields to display the field in the Joomla user profile page and not on the checkout registration form. Usually, when you want to do that, you don't use the fucntions in HikaShop but an extension specific for Joomla user profiles.
So yes, if that's what you want, you would have to use a Joomla extension to display that on the profile page.
It's also possible to do that with a bit of thinkering with the Joomla files. For example, to add an expiration field to Joomla users:
[ webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=...&amp;hl=en&amp;ct=clnk&amp;gl=us](http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:g4MoqGxpgNUJ:mangluoiweb.blogspot.com/2012/06/add-expiration-for-joomla-user.html+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us)

Hi,

I have a similar problem at the moment: I have created a custom field 'is_newsletter_subscriber' in the 'user' table which is displayed on registration but not on editing.

**Registration (displayed) :**

[ ![&#91;img  ](https://i.imgur.com/Qw9D220.png) ](https://i.imgur.com/Qw9D220.png "&#91;img  ")

**Editing (not displayed) :**

**No template override here : templates/YOUR\_TEMPLATE/html/com\_users**

**My custom field :**

[ ![&#91;img](https://i.imgur.com/RbiBvJ3.png) ](https://i.imgur.com/RbiBvJ3.png "&#91;img")

**Plugin HikaShop user synchronization plugin :**

Hi,

Thanks for the details and the access.
I was able the reproduce the issue on my end and made a patch.
Download again the install package of HikaShop 4.6.1 on our website and install it on yours and you'll get the patch.
It should then display properly.

Hi,

Then I don't know. I would need a FTP access to do some debugging directly as it's now working fine on my end with the same setup.

Yes, FTP access sent.

EDIT
I don't know if changes have also been made elsewhere, but I can no longer validate a cart for which I have selected Mondial Relay as the shipping method since I installed the latest version.
I get this error:  [ ![&#91;img  ](https://i.imgur.com/bH2nXcu.png) ](https://i.imgur.com/bH2nXcu.png "&#91;img  ")

It is possible that I am responsible for the error because I made some changes in some files, but I don't think I did it in a file, even remotely related to the shipping method. As this is another topic, I will open a new thread if it persists

Hi,

Thanks for the FTP access. I was able to add a correction to the patch so that it works fine on your end too.
We've added the patch on our end too. I also noticed that the yes/no style is off on Joomla 4. We'll look into matching the display of Joomla 4 for the next release of HikaShop.

Regarding mondial relay, the update should make no difference.
This "invalid data" error should appear because you're using an invalid shipping address:
[ www.hikashop.com/forum/5-support-en-fran...y/333449.html#333492](https://www.hikashop.com/forum/5-support-en-francais-french-support-/902760-probleme-avec-le-module-mondial-relay/333449.html#333492)
Also, since then, Jerome has updated the plugin to display a nicer error message. So it's likely you're not using the latest version of the Mondial Relay plugin.

Hi,

It's perfect, my custom field is now working properly.
Thank you very much.

Regarding my problem with the Mondial Relay plugin, I will post all the information in the thread [ 904346](https://www.hikashop.com/forum/shipping-methods/904346-mondial-relay-ne-s-affiche-pas.html)
Warning: Spoiler!

I use the same shpping address in most of my tests and it's only since the last update that it does not work anymore.
I have the 'HikaShop Mondial Relay Shipping plugin' dated 2022-08-24.
