-- url of the page with the problem -- : langecraft.com/NEW/
-- HikaShop version -- : 4.7.2
-- Joomla version -- : 4.3.0
-- PHP version -- : 8.0.28
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : Chrome

Is there a way to add this to the product images instead of inserting into product description?

Hi,

No. Only images can be used in the "images" setting.
Now, with custom development, it is possible, but you'll need a developer to modify the product details page layout to display the youtube/vimeo video instead of the image.

Is there a way to add a video along with the images? Or what is the best way to make it so that there is also a video in the product card?

Hi,

The simplest is to add the video in the description of the product.
If you upload the mp4 on your website via FTP, you can directly use the HTML video tag in the description : www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_video.asp

Hello. And how to make it so that immediately when loading a product card, the characteristics of the product are immediately loaded? And not a tab with a description?

Hi,

The tab with the description displays probably because you've changed the "layout on product page" to "tabular" in the HikaShop configuration, instead of "default".
The default variant is not selected by default unless you turn off the "Characteristics dynamic display" setting of the HikaShop configuration.

It would be very cool if you could implement the same with video

"The default variant is not selected by default unless you turn off the "Characteristics dynamic display" setting of the HikaShop configuration." And if dynamic filters work in categories?

Hi,

The library we're using to display the images on the product page doesn't support videos. So having the same display as on your link is not possible without extensive modifications to the layout there.
There is Magic Slideshow ( www.magictoolbox.com/magicslideshow/modu...kashop/#key-features ) which supports HikaShop, and does apparently support videos. Maybe it would be possible with this but I'm not sure. You would have to contact them to ask about it.

The "Characteristics dynamic display" is not linked to filters on listings. So I'm not sure what you're talking about in your last question.

Is there any news of implementing videos together with images and files in Hikashop? We are in new era of webshops and we really need that. It should be on to do list of Hikashop.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback.
Videos can be added in the "files" area of products.
This can allow you to provide the videos as downloads after the purchase of the product or via a download link on the product page.
You can also easily add a custom field of the type "text" and of the table "product" so that you can enter the URL of a youtube video and then use the "format" setting to generate the HTML for the display of the video area.
That way, you can enter the URL in each product, and it will appear on the right side of the product page automatically.
Plus, as I was saying 2 years ago here, the description can also be used to include video players.
So, there are already several ways to add videos to products in HikaShop.

The images mini gallery system on the left side of the product page was not made to support videos. Similarly, the image gallery selector in the backend wasn't made to support video either. So, while I can understand the interest for this, it's not something we can easily add, and many were fine with the alternatives already available, and thus we were working on other priorities. But we can add it to the todo list. I just can't say when we'll be able to look into it at the moment.

Thanks nicolas, please add to "to do" list. We will wait :)
More and more webshops are coming now with any kind of media in the same place like we have image gallery. Lets not be the last to implement it. It would be great that in existing image galery we could add any media we want. Including video from different sources.
