I want to build a new site with 1000 articles.
Each article has title, short descr, price, sku, ean

But I want to use special fields to add style info, color, material, usage, etc

This to have additional article info to add after product discription
And also to use these fields for customers to filter.

Can this be done in VM  3.8.8 core or are plugins necessary?
Running Joomla 3.10.3

Pas

From what I can tell this would be done with standard custom fields.

Thanks,
For color and material it works fine.
But for style I can't figure out how to configure....
This needs to be a title and description for each style.
I tried custom fields 'textarea' and editor' using semicolon betweeen each style description. But can't select the different styles.
Would be nice to have a custom field to select the right style which adds the right style title and description.

Any suggestions.

Pas

Unfortunately not possible....

Guess it should be possible with plain text area.
Only issue I have, can't create a custom field 'style' and add texts (paragraphs) separated by semicolon...
Does anyone know how this can be modified? is it character restricted maybe...

I'm sorry, maybe you're taking the wrong steps.

We use these extensions and your additional field and filtering requirements work great :)

Show us an example (with images), I guess this would be possible to do with standard custom fields too.

to Jörgen:
But modul filtering?
If I use filtering modul from CF, then better for me use CF custom fields :)

He sais he has no truoble filtering.

He has trouble creating a custom item with some styling text, he does not tell us how this should look.

Filtering can then always be done with CF.

You mean custom fields for all?

Attached a quick sketch of the question...

Thanks,

Right now it seems to work as I added this locally to my vm custom field.
Selecting this in custom fields looks a bit weird but works.
Only filter is not visible yet.

Why do you setup textarea custom field, if you want filtering them?
I don't understand :)

Hi pinochico,
This way i'm more flexible creating product descriptions (have relevant content)
Also when new trends occur it's possible to modify easier.
For customers it's nice and easy to choose/filter on their desired style.

Right now filter works but shows full text of custom fields.
Would be nice to only show title instead.

Of course
define value as name of type of style - for custom field "Style" define value "Standard"
define module with name Standard, .... (all values from customfiled) and maybe better setup right position from position of custom field
create override for template productdetail nad customfield
load module with title if value of custom filed is the same

But is my way :)
