Category title in product listing grouped by cat

-- url of the page with the problem -- : mywebsite.com/mypage
-- HikaShop version -- : x.x.x

-- Joomla version -- : 2.5.16
-- PHP version -- : 5.3
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : Every
-- Error-message(debug-mod must be tuned on) -- : None

I have a vertical menu with submenu in the left (it's a custom menu, since not all the items link to product pages).
In "Automobili" > "Lubrificanti racing", I show the products of category grouped by category.
I would like to show the title of the parent category ("Lubrificanti Racing") over the groups.
Is it possible?

Thanks in advance,
Marco

Hi,

If you have set of title through the "title" option of the configuration page of your category listing content menu, you'll just have to add some code like : At the beginning of your "listing_div" file of your "category" view of your front-end template via "Hikashop->Display->Views".

Hi Mohamed,
I think that the file you suggested me is not correct: I added the line of code but nothing changed (actually, the structure of the resultant HTML is not consistent with the structure of the page: there is no DIV element with 'hikashop_subcategories' class, for example).

I don't think that you need to edit any code. Simply turn on the component heading option of your menu item via the joomla menu manager and that should do it.

Hi Nicolas,
what you suggest is what I did before contacting you, as you can see from the screenshot below.


Any other hints?
I can provide you access to the site, if you like.

Thanks.

Sending me a temporary access to your website through a private message will probably help me to understand your issue.
thanks .

Hi,
I just did some tests through your website, and the problem was coming from the way you configured your Sub elements filter option, when you set it to "All sub elements" it works fine.

Hi Mohamed,

The soulution you provided is not so good for me: I do need grouping by category, but I would like to have a main title (i.e. the parent category) over the grouping.
Is it possible?

Thanks,
Marco

Hi,

This will require a view edition so some custom code.
PHP skills are needed.

Hi Xavier,

shoud I create a new view?
Isn't possible to edit the existing grouping-by-category view, adding a title?

Hi,

The view to edit is "product / listing".
The desired part is in the "else":

Got it!
Thanks!
Marco
