You would have to edit the file "show_default" via the menu Display>Views and change the code: Code: $this->setLayout('listing_price'); echo $this->loadTemplate(); to: Code: echo 'select product'; 2. You can configure the HikaShop filter modula via the Joomla modules manager in order to display filters in a module position on product pages.

If you believe that your request has been blocked by mistake please contact the web site owner. i have been able to make other changes to the file - just not this particular one - any other suggestions or workarounds?

Note that you can always do the override manually: [ docs.joomla.org/How\_to\_override\_the\_outp...rom\_the\_Joomla!\_core](https://docs.joomla.org/How_to_override_the_output_from_the_Joomla!_core) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI2LXByb2R1Y3QtY2F0ZWdvcnktZGlzcGxheS84OTg3NzgtcGxhY2Vob2xkZXItdGV4dC1mb3ItcHJvZHVjdC1kcm9wZG93bi12YXJpYWJsZXM/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[iwallace](/forum/user/34516-iwallace "View iwallace's Profile")** - [![iwallace's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/34516-iwallace "View iwallace's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/34516-iwallace) Less More - Posts: 47 - Thank you received: 4 - - 6 years 11 months ago [\#313713](#313713) by [iwallace](/forum/user/34516-iwallace "View iwallace's Profile") Replied by *[iwallace](/forum/user/34516-iwallace "View iwallace's Profile")* on topic *[placeholder text for product dropdown variables?](/forum/26-product-category-display/898778-placeholder-text-for-product-dropdown-variables#313713 "-- url of the page with the problem -- : 144.208.70.12/~richard2019/index.php/hik...8541-alive-9473-sh18 -- HikaShop version -- : 4.2.2 -- Joomla version -- : 3.9.13 I was just wondering if it is possible to display placeholder text in the product variables dropdown box rather than the first product variable on this pafe the box displays the first varaible - 30cm print can it simply say - select product and have no price listed. my client would prefer to not have any price displayed prior to the customer seeing the available options.
