Hi,
I am evaluating hikashop with two other ecommerce software to see if I can adopt it. The documentation is really good and it enabled me to get answers to most of my questions except two questions. Hope you can answer me :
- I want to enable the customer to upload a file (his photo for example) so that we personalize some personalizable product we sell. I expected to be able to associate to a product a file option or file characterietic that acheive this requirement. But could not find in the documentation such option/Characteristic.

- The second question is that I want to have cascade options for my product. An example is the following: my product is displayed in the front end with two options. If you choose option1 other options are displayed (let's say just 2), if you choose option2 3 different options are displayed. Is this possible to acheive in Hikashop?

With hikashop, I am evaluating:
- virtuemart which cannot acheive the first point (possible to buy a component for more or less 90$) but can acheive the second one with its child product concept. I did not find an equivalent concept in hikashop.
- Opencart which can acheive the first point but cannot acheive the second one (possible to buy a component for more or less 35$).

Thanks

Hi,

1. You can create a custom field of the table "item" and of the type "file" or "ajax file" via the menu Display>Custom fields with the Business edition in order to do that. That will add an upload field on the product page so that the customer can add its file when adding the product to the cart.

2. When you use custom item fields, you can use the "display limited to" setting of the custom fields in order to have them hide/appear based on what is selected in another one.

OK Thanks.
If I buy the commercial version, can I use it for several websites or I must buy it again for each website?

I remebered that the files my customers will have to upload when buying a personalized product will be heavy files (more than 30 mega). Is it possible to upload the personalization file using ftp?

Thanks

Uploading 30MB files with custom fields shouldn't be a problem as long as your server is configured to handle such files.

Doing it via FTP won't help. It would just be more complex for the customer as he would have to first install a FTP client software and understand how it works to be able to upload the files via FTP. And there are other problems involved with that so I can't recommend doing that.
