Hello

I wanted to create a module that show 5 newest product from the category where user opened it. For example if user opened Product Listing of X, then it will show 5 newest product in category X

i tried to use synchronize feature in the module to show it but it that it doesnt work properly and showed the same product even though i have moved to another page

any suggestion?

Hi,

The synchronize option of the module is what I would have recommended.
Could you provide a screenshot of the settings in the "Hikashop options" tab of your module ?

Hello

is this good enough?

Hi,

Your settings seems to be correct. We have recently solved an issue related on the module listings.
What is your version of HikaShop ? If not 2.6.2, please try to update.

Hi, i have uploaded the site, however it needs account to login

i have created an account for you but how do i send it to you since it's currently a private website. Including administrator access if you want to check out my settings aside from the one that i have showed you

I'm still confused why it doesnt work properly

Thank You

Hello

i checked and my version is 2.6.0

I checked the changelog and it seems that there is no changes in synchronize system between 2.6.0 and 2.6.2

is it valid?

Thank You

Hi,

We fixed related issues about the "selectparentlisting" value which were not get correctly so the listings were not correct.

Which is related to my problem?

I will discuss this with my internal team

Hi,

Yes there is indeed many chances it is related to your problem, else I would not talk about that

Hello

I've extended my subscription and updated the hikashop, the problem still exists
i've assign someone to handle this and sent you the details from the contact us form

Hope you read it

Thank You

Hi,

It seems that you are editing the urls in the listing view, so that is adding a "cid" to the page but the cid should be present only on product display page and not listings. That's why you had that issue.

We just fixed the problem on your website by improving the checks when getting the products. We will add these modifications on our end too.

Hi

Is it because the maximenuCK hikashop extension? i modify it a bit to fit the website

is it because of that?

could you tell me which file do you change?
also will the next version include this change?

Thank You

Hi,

It's not because of that extension. That extension works fine on its own. It's because of the customization you made which creates invalid links.
the non-SEF links are like that:
index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=product&task=listing&cid=XXX
That way, you can dynamically change the current category of a listing of products.
However, having that cid parameter in the URL of a products listing should normally never happen and because of that the synchronization system wrongly thinks it is on the product page, not on a listing.
The modifications we made in the file components/com_hikashop/views/product/view.html.php enable the system to have better checks in place to avoid the problem.
The modifications will be included in the next version yes.
