Hi Folks

I've upgraded the hikashop version and its broken the module on the left of site on the home page
I'm not sure what setting to look at or change

Link for site not working - openalldoors.co.uk/lanna/index.php/en/



Link for site old hika version installed but working - www.lannaantique.com/en/



Thanks very much for any advice or guidance you can provide

Cheers

Hi,

I see several things in play here:
- Edit the module via the Joomla modules manager, and try the different values of the setting "Show children"
- Try to change the "use bootstrap design" setting of the HikaShop configuration
- It might also come from some kind of modification in the file templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_hikashop/category/listing_list.php

Hi Nicolas,

Thank you for getting back to me

I can't see show children in the hikashop module
I tried use bootstrap design but no joy with that

I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for regarding the override - I can see listing_list in a product folder in the html but not category

However if I look at views I see many different versions of the file


and override wise




Thanks
Paul

Hi,

So based on your screenshots, I don't see any override so it apparently doesn't come from that.

When you edit the module via the Joomla modules manager, you'll see the "show children" setting in the "HikaShop options" tab.
So please check that.

Hi

I'm not quite sure where to look



I have tried most options at one point

Cheers and thanks
Paul

Hi,

Ah, I thought you were on Joomla 3. Sorry for that. On Joomla 2.5, the option is called "show sub categories"

Hi Nicolas

No worries

I've tried changing these settings - with "no child" it removes all the sub categories, all sub categories displays the same as "all direct sub categories but loses the plus symbol

I was wondering if there was a class name I needed to add somewhere - I did check the demo but access for the Joomla module itself isn't allowed

Cheers

Hi,

From what I can see, the problem is that the file components/com_hikashop/views/category/tmpl/listing_list.php had been directly modified to display custom HTML for that module, and that the template has custom CSS based on that HTML.
When you updated, these modifications have been lost and thus you're back with the default HTML of HikaShop and the CSS of your template isn't used anymore.
So you would have to get that file from before the update and copy it over the new version of the file after the installation and it should hopefully fix the problem.

Hi Nicolas,
Thanks for continuing help with this

I've added the previous code to this file


So its 2.3.0





It's not fixed it unfortunately
The toggle that contained elements is now closed and unclickable
The others are still the same

Hi,

The HTML is still different between the two versions from what I can see. Maybe other files had been modified elsewhere.
Please understand that we can't help with this as we don't know what has been modified where.
This is custom development and on top of that it hasn't been done properly. Such customization should be done via view files overrides so that you don't loose the changes when you update HikaShop. Since the changes were done directly in the core files of HikaShop it's normal that you lost the changes when you updated HikaShop.
You should contact the developer that had made the changes so that he can port them to the new version.

Hi Nicolas,

Right - Thanks alas the developers are long gone

Cheers
Paul

Hi Nicolas,

What would be the best way to proceed if we started from scratch using a new template and the existing hikashop product data?
A clean slate so to speak with Hikashop views

Thanks
Paul

Hi,

Well, the simplest and cheapest would be to just use another categories listing module, like the skyline accordion one:
extensions.joomla.org/extension/skyline-...cordion-for-hikashop
That way it won't be affected by the template.
The look will be a bit different but you can make it quite close to what you had with the old website with the display settings of the module.

Otherwise, you could also hire a developer to try to salvage the CSS/customization from the old website to the new one by checking the different views, CSS of the template, etc between both websites. It's not an easy task but it can be done and should be way faster than starting from scratch.

Thanks

I've contacted the developers as there seems to be some confusion in their documentation over J2.5 support
and their 2.5 demo site is broken

Cheers
Paul

Hi,

You can also find other modules like this one.
For example, this one:
extstore.com/joomla-extensions/modules/hikashop-accordion
Or this one, which is apparently compatible with J2.5:
www.smartaddons.com/extensions/commercia...kashop-joomla-module

Thanks I've managed to implement that accordion module overriding the existing styling and replacing it with new css - so much stupid stuff in there

The module didn't work at the start so have had to remove some of the php added by the previous developer and the hard coded jquery in the index.php file (which broke any module I tried)

I'm now stuck on the development site on a different issue

openalldoors.co.uk/lanna/index.php/en/sh.../2014-05-15-12-04-26
openalldoors.co.uk/lanna/index.php/en/sh.../2014-05-13-12-59-03

I can't work out how to remove the black and make it like the other page
or even where to find the file - /index.php/en/shop-by-product-type/2014-05-13-12-59-03

Thanks again for the help with the accordion

Hi,

You have to edit the module with the id "87" and change the value of the option "background color".
Else some css like that should do the job:
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/1...ize-the-display.html

Thanks

I was hoping to get a handle on where the background black colour was or where it was coming from - as its added inline to the particular problem pages rather than override with !important

I was hoping it would explain pages like this

openalldoors.co.uk/lanna/index.php/en/sh...ooks-and-manuscripts


e.g. how to deal with the inline height value { height: 333px;}

I could wrap it in a media query but it means two media queries for where it breaks to 100% and one to override the
element.style for every or most pages

On the real site with the older version of hikashop it doesn't have any inline heights that I can see

The inline height is generally a problem as some products with long titles see the cart button pushed down on the the next product when displaying on mobile like widths

Cheers
Paul

Hi,

There is no inline height. The height is added dynamically with javascript so that the height of the elements is equal on each line of products.

If you don't want that, you need to remove the line: in the file "listing_div" of the view "product" via the menu Display>Views.

Thanks
