-- url of the page with the problem -- : 200mphmedia.net/justducks
-- HikaShop version -- : 3.0.0
-- Joomla version -- : 3.6.5
-- PHP version -- : 5.6.3
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : All

We would like to add product attributes to the product listings, to appear in the description area.

This information, for the viewer, is strictly informational and can be a list of the features of the product.

These would simply be details of the product that would be entered via a predetermined list of values, re: rubber, plastic, resin.

The customer would be able to view this information. It is not a checklist or a product options, but rather, just an additional piece of information as part of the description.

The information would be selected somewhere on the product creation screen by admin as choices for the product, but only viewable by the customer - they do not choose any values.

How can this be accomplished in HikaShop 3.0.0?

Hi,

Like with all the previous versions of HikaShop, you can create custom fields of the table "product" via the menu Display>Custom fields in order to do that. That will add the fields on the product edition page and the value you enter/select in the field will appear on the product page in the frontend based on the display settings of your custom field.

Thank you for the clarification.

We have produced attributes that allow selection of them on the product page.

We will now work to determine how to have them only appear as a display attribute and not a selectable variable.

Thank you for the help.

We are unable to add the content to the Product Page as a "view only" item.

How can we, other than typing into each product description, add descriptive information, via a checkbox selection in product admin, any repeating values, re: AVAILABLE COLOURS: Red, Green, Blue

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Hi,

It you can edit the fields on the product page on the frontend, it means that you created custom fields of the table "item" and not of the type "product" as I advised.
You would have to delete them and recreate them with the correct table.

Great. Thanks for the direction.

We will create them as a "Product" type vs an "item."

Will report back to clear this support thread when successful.

Regards.
