How to get path for image/file from custom field?

-- url of the page with the problem -- : -
-- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.3
-- Joomla version -- : 3.36

Hi

i tried to add a custom field containing image/file for my category & products

however when i want to know the path of image stored, it seems it's generated

i also tried it through template override

but it only containing the filename of the image




link in the front end

how to generate the link image / where the image is stored ?

Hi,

Images from custom fields are generally not accessible directly ; they are stored in the "safe" folder and we use a PHP script to let them available (if you have the right access to).
So even if you can generate the right url ; the file won't be accessible (because the "safe" folder is not restricted). You need to display the field using the custom field system (with the field class and the "show" function).

Regards,

Hi

i need to use them in front end using the template override [as shown], is there anyway i can get the file then?

i need a field to upload file in back end and then use the picture in front end

any suggestion how to do it?

Hi,

As jerome said, you need to display the field using the custom field system (with the field class and the "show" function):
But normally, custom category fields are already displayed on the listings as long as you turn on the "frontend" setting of the field, so it should not even be necessary.

Hi,
So if I create an external form (like say using RSFORM) then how get i retrieve the path of the this uploaded file? Appreciate your help

Hi,
You would have to ask RSFORM's support for that. We don't know how that extension forms work.

Hi,
I mean if I want to create a plain file and make a direct connection using php code to select the data of a particular order items . How can I call for the product images since is there any php code that i can used to display the images?

Hi,

The exact code will depend on how you configured the custom field. We would need a screenshot of its settings to be able to say.

Hi,

here is my screenshot, my question is: How can I access these fields caTest, certTest, keyTest in function onAfterOrderConfirm.

Hi,

This thread is about custom fields, not plugin settings.
And I already replied to you about this here:
www.hikashop.com/forum/integrations/9019...t-plugin.html#329893
As I already told you:

you can use such code:
$plugin = JPluginHelper::getPlugin('hikashoppayment', 'xxx');
$this->params = new JRegistry(@$plugin->params);
echo $this->params->get('yyy');
where xxx is the folder name of your plugin and yyy the name of the setting (field).

Is there something you don't understand in this text ?
