Added to cart message in joomla message area

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.5
-- Joomla version -- : 3.2.4
-- PHP version -- : 5.4.32
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : Opera 27

Is it possible to get hikashop to show a message that says a person added something to their cart in the joomla <jdoc:include type="message" /> area? Or in some area of a template by some other means?

Of course!

Not familiar with the optional popup after a product was added to the cart? It can be activated and configured in the main system configuration. And it's documented here: hikashop.com/support/support/documentati...onfig.html#main_cart

Yes I am but I don't see how to get the message displayed in the message area of my index.php.

Hi,

You can potentially edit/override the file "components/com_hikashop/controllers/product.php" and in the function "updatecart()" add code like: After, for example:
You have to disable the "Ajax add to cart" option if enabled, else it will not work as expected.
