Hikashop Category Then Going to a Product Listing

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.5.0

HI there,

I am wanting to know if I can set the Category layout from a menu link, and then it loads the catregory layout. When a user chooses a category, that the next category is a 'Product Listing' layout.

Is there a way to do this? If so, how?

Many thank for your help!

Hi Jerome, Yes I have but I find a lot of the documentation a bit confusing when it comes down to certain things

Perhaps my reading or comprehensions skills are not good, I do not know.

I will do as what you suggested above and hopefully I will get that result. Thanks!

I have attached how it is outputting now.

At the moment it is still outputting 'catregories_listing' but it is having the Products listing under the DIV submodules. Is this what is supposed to do?

because I am not wanting the categories_listing (I tohugh it should be 'products_listing) as it is displaying the title. I could hide that by CSS but I would prefer to make sure I have it setup correctly. As there is no way that I can see that I can turn off the Categories title as I have my own specific content that I am displaying in the category information.

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. However I need the title for the category above it, but not under its child. I a assuming it is inheriting that it requires a title from the parent.

Because if you click the menu item of the category listing, and then on that page click the next category it will not be relevant to a menu listing.

I guess I would need to do it in the category Iinformation then if thats the case?

I actually have 'title' in the menu settings for that category turned off. If I change the menu name, the title is being generated from the category name because if I change the category name it changes.

So I have no way of being able to turn off the content generated from Hikashop from 'category-view box bigtitle'

Thanks.

Hi Nicholas

I believe for that View file I didnt touch that part of the DIV giving the category_listing a XXX. But the ID category_information_menu is getting a XXX however. Is this not correct?

I was trying to avoiid doing it by CSS, but I will try just doing your 'show page heading' to on with it blank instead, thanks

One last thing, is it possible to use SVG for images because the quality of my images on mobile devices is awful as I am using line drawings (similar to icons and technical drawings) and they look not very good. Thanks.

In follow up to what I said above, what I did was remove the image for the sub category images, and replace it with a custom field for categories to be able to add my own SVG images in there instead.

However the problem I am having is that Hikashop's HTML field for entering in data is deleting my OBJECT code to be able to insert the SVG when I save it. I also tried EMBED but it also does it.

Is there somewhere in the Hikashop code I can remove it doing this? I am using Text editor only and in the 'Descreiption' field it doesnt remove the code. Just in the custom field I created with WSIYG editor.

Thanks!

Hi Jerome, your link comes up with a page not found error? I will try and find it by search but if you could perhaps update the link it would be good. Thanks.

At first I did that and thought was why but then I tried it in here before you posted and the link is still not valid.

However I assume you are referring to the options in configuration to add the SVG file extension. I didnt actually know you could add anything in there, and I done that and is working fine......now my drawings are nice and clear in tabs/phones Thanks.

Hi there, I added a custom field for an image in products, however the SVG is coming up with an error on the upload even though I added the support for it and it works in categories. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi Jerome, yes definitely using Image as a custom field.
