I've managed to change the text of the default option to "Yes" (JHTML::_), but I can't figure out how to change the actual default product option (which I would like to automatically add to the customer purchase as well as to hide the entire list box with "display:none" is CSS). I am guessing the change should be made by editing the file "option" of the view "product" via the menu Display->Views, but I can't seeme to find how to make the change. How could this be done?

In this file, place the line: Code: $this->values[] = JHTML::_('select.option', 0,JText::_('HIKASHOP_NO')); Under this one: Code: $this->values[] = JHTML::_('select.option', $optionElement->product_id,$text); Last edit: 14 years 6 months ago by [Xavier](/forum/user/4105-xavier "View Xavier's Profile").

I had to modify the (moved) line from: Code: $this->values[] = JHTML::_('select.option', 0,JText::_('HIKASHOP_NO')); to this: Code: $this->values[] = JHTML::_('select.option', product_id,JText::_('HIKASHOP_NO')); ...and now it works perfectly!
