Running Joomla debug mode doesn't help me at all.

Does anyone know what the problem might be? Thanks!

Hi there,

It's just a bug we fixed in the last version.

I have some additional questions. I don't know if I should post it here, or if it's better to start a new topic.
So correct me if I'm wrong ![;)](/media/kunena/emoticons/24.png ";)").

1: When I go to 'categories' on my website, the 3rd sub-item in the menu is also displayed as current ([ sandervanbergen.nl/tests/aquashop/](http://sandervanbergen.nl/tests/aquashop/)).
I think that I might did something wrong with creating the menu item, but re-creating it won't seem to help.
2: On the product page I have a dropdown-list with characteristics. I want to remove the label in front of the list but I can't find it in the Display &gt; Views.
The 'show_block_characteristics' view shows *echo $this-&gt;characteristic-&gt;displayFE($this-&gt;element, $this-&gt;params);*, but that is as far as I get.

Thank you again!

Hi,

1: I think that it don't come from HikaShop, but from your template. If you create another menu with not hikashop items in it, does it work fine ?

2: You can maybe use the css property "display:none;" to hide that. Try to find the class displaying the label and apply this property.

Here is a tutorial about layout customization:

Hi Xavier,

Thank you for your answer.

1- It only occurs with that specific menu-item. The other 3 items under 'Categorieën' don't have the class *.current*. It's only 'Vijverplanten'.
The menu below it, 'Account' also has two sub-items. With this menu everything goes just fine.

2- You are right. It can be hidden using *'.hikashop\_product\_characteristics\_table td:first-child{display:none;}'*.
If someone knows where I can delete it in the code please let me know since I prefer that option.

Thanks again for helping out! Great support ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/3.png ":)")!

Hi,

1. I don't know but the problem is not a hikashop problem. It's joomla which displays the menu links all by itself. Maybe it comes from the fact that Categorieën is your main menu ? Maybe you could try changing your main menu and see if that helps ?

2. Why not simply turn off the option "Display the characteristics name" in the configuration ?

Hey,

1- Hmm... I tried making another menu item the 'home' page. That didn't solve it.
I also tried deleting both menu-items and hikashop modules. I created new menu items for 'categorieën' and 'vijverplanten', and the problem is still there.. So weird :S

But if I change 'categorieën' to something else than 'Hikashop category listing' (for example: single article) the problem is gone. So it looks like it might have something to do with the Hikashop category listing (or my configuration with that).

2- Hehe, thanks ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/3.png ":)")! Didn't know that option was there... Perfect!

[strike]**EDIT:** When I unpublish the category 'vijverplanten' in Hikashop the category 'aquariumplanten' gets .current. If I unpublish that one the category 'eSHa' gets .current.
It's always the last category that gets the .current class (last # category in Hikashop product cateogy list).[/strike]

**EDIT:** Changed the menu-items from category to product listing. Unpublishing the categories has no effect now. However, when I unpublish the menu item 'vijverplanten' the next menu item (next in order by cat. ID) becomes .current.
This only occurs when I set the parent menu item (categorieën) to category listing.

Hi,

Do you use the standard joomla menu module for that menu ? Could you try to use another one ?
Why not simply use a category listing content module of HikaShop instead ? That would avoid that problem for sure.

Hi,

- I'm using the standard module. Tried using a new (standard joomla) menu module. But that didn't fix the problem.
- I tried this at first, but the breadcrumbs didn't work as they should. Using menu items for every category fixed this.

Ok,

Can you try to remove the line:
$menus-&gt;setActive($submenu-&gt;itemid);
in the file components/com_hikashop/views/category/view.html.php
That should help.

That did it! ![:D](/media/kunena/emoticons/1.png ":D")
Thanks!!!

Is there a way to override that file? Putting it in *'mytemplate/html/com\_hikashop/category'* doesn't seem to work.

You can't override it.
There is no need to. That modification will be included in next version of HikaShop.
