Products not displayed under category listings

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.4
-- Joomla version -- : 3.3.6
-- PHP version -- : 5.6.16
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : Mozilla

After 2 days of searching forums and documentation, I have to post.

I am facing the usual problem of products not showing under a category listing button after clicking on any category displayed.

After a LOT of trying and searching I discovered the following:
I did a clean install of the JVFashion temlate. The demo buttons work ok (All Shoes/Heels/Flats/etc). They display the "You have an override on the view 'category / listing' so the settings under the tab 'Product Options' will potentially not be used." message. This message goes away once I save (even with nothing changed). After that the button breaks down and no products are displayed.

Any new category listing button that I create does not show any products (after clicking on a category)

I am obviously missing something here, but I really have no idea what. Please point me to the right direction.

Thanks in advance,
Stelios

Hi,

As the error message says, you need to remove the view override you have (probably from your template).
Rename the file templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_hikashop/category/listing.php and that should fix the issue.
It comes from your template using a really old version of that view file which doesn't work properly with the new (more than 3 years old) options interface of menu items and modules.

Easy as pie. That fixed it.

Thank you for the reply!
