Hikashop Quick Icons Joomla Backend

-- HikaShop version -- : latest
-- Joomla version -- : latest

Hi.
I used to have those quick icons ,and was able to watch sales as soon as i logged in to my website's back end,but i disabled accidentally something and now i cant see anything. In order to see the icons i have to press the Hikashop extention. Any idea how to enable them again ? (They should appear as soon as i log in to the backend)

Hi,

You must have deactivated/removed the quick icons module.
You'll find it here: www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/9...oomla-dashboard.html

Thank you for your answer.

When i try to install it i get this message :
JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find Joomla XML setup file

Actually the thing i am most interested about is the sales grid i had enabled on the dashboard. Its really helpful to able to just log in watch sales then log out

That module cannot work on Joomla 3 as the joomla dashboard system completely changed from Joomla 2.5 to 3.x.
And it cannot display the sales grid either.

Alternatively, what you could do is to redirect to the HikaShop dashboard directly when you log to the backend of your website.
Here is how you can redirect Joomla (2.5 and 3.0 ) to a specific page after you login.

1. Access your joomla root installation folder via FTP
2. Go to the folder administration/components/com_login/models/
3. Open login.php using your favorite text editor
4. Find the code below (around line 43):
// Set the return URL if empty.
if (empty($return)) {
$return = 'index.php';
}
5. Replace index.php with the url you want to redirect to. For example if you want to redirect to HikaShop the code will look like below:
// Set the return URL if empty.
if (empty($return)) {
$return = 'index.php?option=com_hikashop';
}
