Category in product display with custom <hr>

ok this one is for price if not possible not possible.
what my client wants is that in the web wich has 8 categories, each one has a color code
this color is displayed underlining the category with a <hr> wich has different colors depending on the category.
and this one should be displayed in product description. The second part is solved and i have the category in product description it´s just the underline changing depending on category what i need.
Thank you

I don't understand.
If the hr must be in the description, why not directly add it in the description and add to it a style attribute in order to define the color ?

I mean i have in my product view 4 parts top, right, left and bottom.
in top part all the width of the page is covered with the category name wich the product belongs to.
under it there is a custom <hr> with an image.
what i want is that the image changes when category changes.

So I understand that the hr and the image are added by yourself with custom code.
Could you tell us what code you're using for that ?

in the show.php of the product i just added the category php line and under it an <hr class="line">
what i dont know how to do is that this hr changes depending on the category.

if you have the category data in a variable called $category, you can do like that:
if($category->category_name="My category"){
echo '<hr class="line" style="color:red;">';
}elseif($category->category_name="My second category"){
echo '<hr class="line" style="color:blue;">';
}else{
echo '<hr class="line" style="color:black;">';
}

we are very close, first i should insert the code in the show.php or in other php?
second the color of the hr is a custom image so it should be something like hr class="line1" and the line2 depending on the category.
Thank you very much

In the show.php yes.

so in the style as it is an image i should put style="background=url("whatever");"

it did not work, i created this in show_default.php and i added the code after the line of category but something is wrong it stops reading in first case
<div id="hikashop_product_top_part" class="hikashop_product_top_part">
<h2>
<span>
<?php
foreach($this->categories as $category) echo $category->category_name;
?>
</span><br/>

</h2>
<?php if($category->category_name="Linea Esencial"){
echo '<hr class="linea">';
}elseif($category->category_name="Linea Equilibrante"){
echo '<hr class="linea2">';
}elseif($category->category_name="Linea Multivitaminas"){
echo '<hr class="linea3">';
}elseif($category->category_name="Linea Multiefectos"){
echo '<hr class="linea4">';
}elseif($category->category_name="Linea de Barros"){
echo '<hr class="linea5">';
}elseif($category->category_name="Linea Spa Corporal"){
echo '<hr class="linea6">';
}elseif($category->category_name="Manicura & Pedicura"){
echo '<hr class="linea7">';
}elseif($category->category_name="Linea Spa Capilar"){
echo '<hr class="linea8">';
}?>

</div>
only first i showing in all categories

Your code is wrong.

You want to have something like that:
<div id="hikashop_product_top_part" class="hikashop_product_top_part">

<?php
foreach($this->categories as $category){
?>
<h2>
<span><?php echo $category->category_name; ?>
</span></h2><br/>


<?php if($category->category_name=="Linea Esencial"){
echo '<hr class="linea">';
}elseif($category->category_name=="Linea Equilibrante"){
echo '<hr class="linea2">';
}elseif($category->category_name=="Linea Multivitaminas"){
echo '<hr class="linea3">';
}elseif($category->category_name=="Linea Multiefectos"){
echo '<hr class="linea4">';
}elseif($category->category_name="Linea de Barros"){
echo '<hr class="linea5">';
}elseif($category->category_name=="Linea Spa Corporal"){
echo '<hr class="linea6">';
}elseif($category->category_name="Manicura & Pedicura"){
echo '<hr class="linea7">';
}elseif($category->category_name=="Linea Spa Capilar"){
echo '<hr class="linea8">';
}?>

</div>

everything ok now thank you

i have another issue with this, i´ve change shor_default.php view to do that and it works in product display, how can i make it to work also in product listing, my default is listing_image_title but i tried it there and it did not work, thanks

Hi,

In the product listing view, you do not have the $category variable like in the product show view.
But you can retrieve it. And you should have your category object !

Regards,

Jerome but if you go to the webpage
miraur.pingraf.es
in main page you have categories
if you click on any of those
the title of the category is displayed i product listing without doing anything.
what do i have to cahnge there?

Hi,

It is displayed because it's not a simple product listing.
It come from a category listing from your menu #102 (with id 102).

Exactly like our demo website.
If you go one the home page, you would see a menu at the bottom left.
You can click on the item "Peripherals" in the "Computing" section.
It points to : demo.hikashop.com/index.php?option=com_h...ls&Itemid=78&lang=en
As you can see in the URL, it is a category listing, it display products in this category and at the top of the listing, there is the name of the category.

That is the "category listing".

Regards,

so i should add my variable in category listing right?

Hi,

You have to edit the "category / listing" view.
At the beginning of the view, you would find the code which display the name of the category.
Regards,

Jerome i have to add this to generate the hr but i dont know where
<?php if($category->category_name=="LINEA ESENCIAL MIRAUR Dermocosmetics"){
echo '<hr class="linea">';
}elseif($category->category_name=="LINEA EQUILIBRANTE MIRAUR Dermocosmetics"){
echo '<hr class="linea2">';
}elseif($category->category_name=="LINEA MULTIVITAMINAS MIRAUR Dermocosmetics"){
echo '<hr class="linea3">';
}elseif($category->category_name=="LINEA MULTIEFECTOS MIRAUR Dermocosmetics"){
echo '<hr class="linea4">';
}elseif($category->category_name="LINEA DE BARROS MIRAUR Dermocosmetics"){
echo '<hr class="linea5">';
}elseif($category->category_name=="LINEA SPA CORPORAL MIRAUR Dermocosmetics"){
echo '<hr class="linea6">';
}elseif($category->category_name="MANICURA & PEDICURA MIRAUR Dermocosmetics"){
echo '<hr class="linea7">';
}elseif($category->category_name=="LINEA SPA CAPILAR MIRAUR Dermocosmetics"){
echo '<hr class="linea8">';
}?>

i added it here
f($this->params->get($title) && JRequest::getVar('hikashop_front_end_main',0)){
?>
<<?php echo $titleType; ?>>
<?php echo $this->params->get('page_title'); ?>
</<?php echo $titleType; ?>>
<?php if($category->category_name=="LINEA ESENCIAL MIRAUR Dermocosmetics"){
echo '<hr class="linea">';
}elseif($category->category_name=="LINEA EQUILIBRANTE MIRAUR Dermocosmetics"){
echo '<hr class="linea2">';
}elseif($category->category_name=="LINEA MULTIVITAMINAS MIRAUR Dermocosmetics"){
echo '<hr class="linea3">';
}elseif($category->category_name=="LINEA MULTIEFECTOS MIRAUR Dermocosmetics"){
echo '<hr class="linea4">';
}elseif($category->category_name="LINEA DE BARROS MIRAUR Dermocosmetics"){
echo '<hr class="linea5">';
}elseif($category->category_name=="LINEA SPA CORPORAL MIRAUR Dermocosmetics"){
echo '<hr class="linea6">';
}elseif($category->category_name="MANICURA & PEDICURA MIRAUR Dermocosmetics"){
echo '<hr class="linea7">';
}elseif($category->category_name=="LINEA SPA CAPILAR MIRAUR Dermocosmetics"){
echo '<hr class="linea8">';
}?>
<?php
but it always choose line 5 by default and does not display waht i want

Hi,

Try with "$this->element->category_name" instead of "$category->category_name"
