I made some HikaShop sites in the past and now considering to renew licenses as I've been asked to revamp them.

While considering the extent of petitions my clients expect to implement I found this product as a complementary solution to HikaShop:

www.tassos.gr/joomla-extensions/advanced-custom-fields

I already know and used HikaShop custom fields system. This is another thing.

I wanted to know if HikaShop products and categories do support actively the core custom fields of Joomla. To be more specific, the supoprt team at tassos.gr recommended this to me:

——message from Tassos.gr ——————————————

Our Advanced Custom Fields extension is compatible with any extension based on the Joomla core fields. As far as I can tell, HikaShop has its implementation of custom fields; therefore, it can't be used with ACF.

However, I would ask Hikashop support if that's not the case and if there's a workaround.

I will appreciate a prompt and detailed response in order to consider going forward with HikaShop and renewing licenses.

Tjnak oyu.

Hi,

We looked on how to support Joomla custom field types on our end but we didn't find a workable solution as of yet.
So, indeed, ACF can't be used with HikaShop.

Now, in the past few years, we've been adding extra options to the custom field system to be able to cover many limitations of the custom field types in HikaShop. For example:
www.hikashop.com/home/blog/481-hikashop-4-5-1.html#fold
www.hikashop.com/home/blog/510-hikashop-5-1-0.html#cf

If you think there is something you're not able to do with the custom fields in HikaShop that you would be able to do with ACF, maybe that's something you might actually be able to do with a more recent version of HikaShop, or maybe you didn't find how to do with what's available.
If you could describe what you need to do with custom fields, we would be happy to look into it.

Thank you Nicolas,

it is a pity as that extension looks liek could be a good complement to HikaShop.

Anyhow we'll still consider to renew hiakshop and continue with your package.

We'll see in the coming days.

Thanks
