Hello,
I want to create a bookshop. I need some fields like author or year. The first is on table "product", the second on "item". Both are shown in preview in the settings of the field. But no one is shown in the backend form or in the frontend vendor form.
How to display ? Display custom items in congiguration is set to yes.
Thank you and kind regards
Martin

Hi,

It's normal that the custom item field doesn't appear there, it will only appear on the product details page that the customer can access to.
For the other one, there are some settings missing in your screenshots, but I'll assume that you also restricted to a category. In that case, in the HikaShop backend the custom field will only appear when you edit a product of that category. So if you're creating a new product, you first need to select that category and then save, so that the custom product fields will appear.

Hi Nicolas,
thank you. A little bit complicated your shop and your documentation.
I saved the new product and - the "Autor" field appeared in backend! But - not in the frontend.....
In the frontend, I see in the product description "Erscheinung" - that´s the year I saved in the table "item" - it´s empty, because I don´t see it in the backend to fill in....

Hello,

Let's details elements, step by step :
1. Product Custom Field is for e-commerce manager, this means that :
- Only manager can define it from backend
- Will be only display in frontend to inform customer
=> If the product custom field isn't displayed for the manager (in backend product setting), it's because it don't have to, I mean there is a restriction, like Nicolas said certainly an association of the product custom field to category, as result if the product isn't in this category, the custom field won't be displayed at all.

2. Item Custom field is for get information from customer :
- Will be displayed to be filled in frontend (and add where you want it from custom field settings)
=> Display part options (general, cart & mail)

Hope this will be more clear in your mind.
Regards
