However, if you use joomla 1.6, the installation process of joomla removes the whole component folder before installing the new files so you would loose the file when you update. That works fine with joomla 1.5 though. The solution should be easy... Just changing the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/types/item.php to add the views folders of the main template. Do you see what I mean ?

Create a template file *listing\_mydemo.php* (say copy *listing\_title.php*) and place it in: templates/mytemplate/html/com_hikashop/category/listing_mydemo.php Tested with PHP 5.3 and Joomla 1.6. One bug, I could not quickly figure out - the *optgroup* is not being shown for the templates. Can you see what I am doing wrong? Already found this very useful and a better way of managing custom template views. Could this be incorporated into core Hikashop please? #### *This attachment is hidden for guests.

In joomla 1.6, the optgroup needs to be called twice. Once before the options and once after. We've added your modifications and fixed that. It will be in next release.
