Hi all,

I would like to add some customs fields, for example a list off shop where i can find my product.
How could i configure VM2 to have in the administrator side a checkbox list with the list off my magazine
and in the front side only the text list off them ?

Tanks for your help.
JC

I would guess that like me, nobody can understand the description of what you are trying to do. It does not seem about custom fields, but about adding/extending functionality for which you will need to write a plugin.

Because I am a designer rather than a coder, to add promotional images to a product page I would use a different Product Details Page template with the image already coded in. Create the templates, use template override and select the relevant template for each product. Thus you have full control over where and how the image/banner is displayed.

You could use a custom field of image type, but I found that this will appearat the bottom of the page where custom fields are set to display and would be less obvious.

As for the multi-shop issue, this would need special programming.
