HikaShop already has such module preconfigured. You just have to enable it in the joomla modules manager. It's called "Categories on 1 level".

Basically, all I need from this module is to display the categories/subcategories, which are currently displayed on my page and to highlight the currently selected category/subcategory. It is much like the issue, discussed in this topic, but I couldn't make it work: [ www.hikashop.com/forum/4-how-to/47110-hi...category-module.html](http://www.hikashop.com/forum/4-how-to/47110-hikashop-category-module.html) Since the HTML syntax is structured with equal divs I am not sure how can I do this via CSS, so any help on that matter would be appreciated. Also I am currently getting the following error, when I click on any of the module categories: Error: 404 - Article not found You may not be able to visit this page because of: an out-of-date bookmark/favourite a search engine that has an out-of-date listing for this site a mistyped address you have no access to this page The requested resource was not found. An error has occurred while processing your request. Not sure why is it looking for articles, so any tips on how can I fix this?

How can I make a "my profile link", or "edit profile". I want to click it and to get a form where the user can fill up all the information he didn't fill in registration, like addresses, post code etc. The user control panel > addresses is kinda buggy. I can't edit the information and the new and delete buttons are not working. I would like a simple form instead.

It's requesting a log. Actually some editions have been made to improve this categories listing module, this should be present in the next release of HikaShop. Thanks to wait for it. Regarding the form, you will have to edit a view to customize as you want, it will require many changes and so a good php level.
