You can do so with a language override for the string PRICE_BEGINNING, i.e. Code: PRICE_BEGINNING="from " More on language overrides see in the documentations for HikaShop and Joomla. 2. Such messages are displayed in the main content area of your template. If that's far down on your web page, then probably because you have a lot of content in positions above the content area. So, no easy solution without changing your web page content significantly. (Having said that, I wonder if there isn't any extension or so which displays such system messages i.e. in a temporary popup. Haven't investigated myself, but if you come across one, sharing the info here will be appreciated!) --- Need help with customisations of layouts, style or other site development?

Two extensions came up: (a) Popup System Messages [ extensions.joomla.org/extensions/style-a...pups-a-iframes/26551](http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/style-a-design/popups-a-iframes/26551) It's a paid download, so I didn't buy to try. If anyone can confirm it works with HikaShop messages, would be nice to hear. (b) HS-Message [ extensions.joomla.org/extensions/news-display/notes/23093](http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/news-display/notes/23093) It's free, so I downloaded and tried. Doesn't work with HikaShop "Cart is empty" message, though, maybe just because the plugin is a bit "old" and doesn't work with J3.3.x. Anyway, deleted it again. --- Need help with customisations of layouts, style or other site development?
