Please advise? Kind Regards")* Hi, 1. What could be done in the future is to have an option in the custom file/ajax file fields to upload to another folder than the current one. But that's not really a problem. Another solution would be to have a "display template" option where you could have your own HTML with a tag for the file link. That way, even if the file would be in the secure folder, if the user seeing the field has access to the link, the link would work. 2. With what you have right now in the custom fields, the simplest would be to edit the view file displaying the custom field value and add some str_replace on the display function call of the custom field to change the current link to have instead a video tag. So for example, for the display of the custom product fields on the product page, you would change the code: Code: <?php echo $this->fieldsClass->show($oneExtraField,$value); ?> to something like that: Code: <?php echo str_replace(array('<a target="_blank" class="hikashop_custom_file_link" href="', '</a>'),array('<video width="320" height="240" controls><source type="video/mp4" src="', '</video>'),$this->fieldsClass->show($oneExtraField,$value)); ?> in the view file show_block_custom_main.php via the menu Display>Views.

Because i could easiely access my custom field in custom module with: Code: $productClass = hikashop_get('class.product'); $product=$productClass->get($product_id); $video = $product->product_video; But this doesn't work in show_default view file. So i go a bit confused cause i thought i still would have to use "fieldsClass->show($oneExtraField,$value)" else it won't be accessible...

Please advise? Kind Regards")* Hi, While you do have the value of the filename in $product->product_video the file is stored in media/com_hikashop/upload/safe/ which has a .htaccess file which denies its access. If you remove that .htaccess, or change the upload secure folder setting to a folder without an htaccess file, then you'll be able to directly access all the files from that folder. If you only upload such files that you want freely accessible, then you could do either of these. However, if you have also paid downloads that you don't want to be directly accessible, then you shouldn't do that and only access the files through the link generated by the field system.
