I am about to purchase Hikashop Essentials but I'm not really clear on how the custom fields work. I am building a catalog only site that I would like to add multiple URLs to a product (a forum, review article, and an affiliate link) that I would like to have display in the hikashop_product_right_part div on each product. Obviously each product has unique urls for these pieces. Is that possible with Hikashop custom fields or do the fields apply to all products? Is there another way to achieve this? Yes I know I can just put the links in the description but that isn't as easy to manage nor is it very attractive visually.

Hi,

You can create custom field of the table "product" for that.
Then, in each product edition page, you'll get these fields where you will be able to fill in the field value for each product, and you will then see the value of the field on the product page of each product.

Ok, so I bought it and yup. That was exactly what I was looking for. Very pleased with Hikashop thus far and it is looking like it's the Virtuemart replacement I've been looking for.

I will make one suggestion though. I would add tooltips in the backend for all items so that it's a little easier to manage and learn what does what.

Thanks for the help!

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback.
Tooltips are hard to manage because it is a lot of text which has to be translated.
That's why we made the "help" button. It will open the HikaShop online documentation for the backend page you are.
