Hi all,

I'm building a site for a client with some unique requests which I would like to provide. This is the first time I've been using HikaShop and so far so good. I've attached an image to make life easier. This are the changes I was asked to make:
1. Add a small text box with short product description in area 1.
2. Completely hide the price tab from products with no price - number 2.
3. Add another tab with more product images. Should I just do this with WYSIWYG custom field? No option to add a custom field for images? Number 3.

Hi,

1. You will have to edit the view "product / show_tabular" and add some PHP code to display the a short description, something like:

echo JHTML::_('content.prepare',preg_replace('#<hr *id="system-readmore" */>#i','',substr($this->element->product_description,0,250)));

if($this->element->prices[0] != 0)

$this->setLayout('listing_price');

Hi Xavier,

Thank you for your help. The price solution was perfect and worked like a charm. Had to edit show_default.php (I guess it's a template override).

As for the pictures, I'm using the essential package so my custom fields are added automatically to the tabs. I will add the images in a WYSIWYG field.

As for the product short description, I've added the code right after the "characteristic_display" block and it works just fine. But, my client would like to add a text by himself and not have a subtext of the main product description. Can that be done?

Thank you again for your great help,

Guy.

Hi,

Yes, you can create a custom field in the "product" table, this way the client can fill the desired informations in this field.
And in the view use:

<?php echo $this->element->CUSTOMFIELD_NAME; ?>
