SOLVED - Product code display

Hi,

I need to display the product code near the product name (Joomla! 2.5.6, HikaShop Business 1.5..
I found how to do that in the hikashop's documentation ( www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/8...ng.html#product_code ).
I removed ".hikashop_product_code_main{ display:none; }" from the frontend_custom.css file but the code doesn't show up.

Please make sure that the "show product code" option of the configuration is turned on.

Yes, it wasn't turned on, now it's ok.
I kept the line ".hikashop_product_code_main{ display:none; }" replacing the "none" value with "inline".

But I want to show the product code below the product name, with different text format and preceded with the words "Product code".

for example:

Product name
Product code: 1234

What I must edit for that?

You will have to edit the file "show_default" of the view "product" via the menu Display->Views and change that line:
echo $this->element->product_code;
to:
echo '<br/>Product code: '.$this->element->product_code;

Hi,

I tried the noted change, but it did not work for me. When I made the code change, the product page would not load and indicated that either the website was down for maintenance or that there was a programming error. Do you recommend any way for me to get this to work?

Also, when I do get it to work, how would I get the page to display the product code in a smaller font just as the other poster showed.

Thank you!

Hi,

It means that you didn't do the modification properly.
Please do a screenshot of your modification so that we can see what you did.

Also, if you want to change the font size, you can do like that:
echo '<br/>Product code: <span style="font-size:12px;">'.$this->element->product_code.'</span>';

Hi,

This is what I've done for my case:

- for displaying the product code under the product name, with a different format (for example: paradoxshop.ro/index.php/produs/273-capa...ta-atos-set-4-bucati ), I edited two files:

1. show_reversed.php (because I use the reversed view for the product display) from HikaShop menu: Display\Views, frontend.

original:

</span>
<?php if ($this->config->get('show_code')) { ?>
<span id="hikashop_product_code_main" class="hikashop_product_code_main">
<?php
echo $this->element->product_code;
?>
</span>

modified:

</span>
<?php if ($this->config->get('show_code')) { ?>
<span id="hikashop_product_code_main" class="hikashop_product_code_main">
<?php
echo "<br />Cod produs: ";
echo $this->element->product_code;
?>
</span>

2. frontend_custom.css: I added my wanted format.

/* different parts of the show of a product */
...
.hikashop_product_code_main{
display:inline;
font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size:14px;
color: #7f7f7f;

Thank you Nicolas and donig!

I was able to get this to work. I did use donig's method and it worked perfectly.

It works perfectly. But how if we want to do this for two languages? how can we implement this code for two different languages? any suggestions?!

Then instead of :
echo '<br/>Product code: '.$this->element->product_code;
you can use:
echo '<br/>'.JText::_('MY_TRANSLATION').': '.$this->element->product_code;

and then add the translation key MY_TRANSLATION to the override area of each one of your languages via the Languages tab of the configuration like that:
MY_TRANSLATION="My text"

Dear Nicolas I've been trying to add the same thing to BANK TRANSFER since we use two languages and it doesn't work. it shows me the exact KEY without translating it. Take a look please :

How can you help me? thanks in advance

Remove all the text in that field and only have a translation key in it. Then, you can add all you text as the translation value of that translation key in each language.

All I see is the Key I've entered. BANK_NAME as you can see here : www.dropbox.com/s/cfgxfc95mhe404e/Screen...12-20%2002.04.48.png

Then you didn't add the translation override properly for your BANK_NAME translation key or you have spaces/line returns in that "information" field where you entered your translation key.

Here are two pictures that show how I've entered my Override and Key.. where am I wrong?

I found out the problem I had. Thanks Nicolas, it's now SOLVED and working perfectly. Thanks again.
