Search for the layout you are using (for example listing_img_title) and add this code wherever you want: Code: <input class="btn button" type="button" onclick="self.location.href='<?php echo $link; ?>'" value="Show description" name="show"></input> You can replace $link by hikashop_completeLink('product&task=show&cid='.$this->row->product_id.'&name='.$this->row->alias.$this->itemid.$this->category_pathway) depending of where you add this code.

How do I change the add to cart button to look like the show description?
