active class no longer applied in HikaShop Content Module

-- HikaShop version -- : 5.1.5
-- Joomla version -- : 5.2.4

Hi,
I've just realized that active items (main category + subcategory) are no longer attributed with "active" class.
Is it a new bug or something else has changed?

Thank you very much. Kind regards.

Hi,

This is still working fine for us on our end, and we didn't change anything for a while there so I'm not sure what it could be.
Could you provide a superadmin backend access in order to check things out via our contact form ?

I've just sent a message containing credentials.

Hi,

Thanks for the access.
I found what the problem is.
I thought you were using the "list" layout as it is usually the case with listings of categories in sidebars.
But you're actually using the "div" layout. And in that mode, there is indeed a problem with the children.
There is actually already code to support this, but there is a piece of code missing for the children categories.
I've added a patch on our end and confirmed that it now works on your test website, with the access you provided.
To get the patch on other websites, download the latest version of HikaShop on our website, install it on yours and you'll get it.

Note that the classes are hikashop_current_parent_category ( for the main categories ), and hikashop_current_subcategory ( for the children categories ).

Hi Nicolas,
thank you for your support.
As far as I can see, active (or current) classes are missing for hikashop_category_name items too. They should be active when directly selecteded or when a child is selected.
Am I wrong?

Thank you very much!

Hi,

I'm not sure what you mean.
If you're saying that the "active" and "current" classes are still missing, then yes, that's normal. As I said, the classes are hikashop_current_parent_category / hikashop_current_subcategory and not "active" / "current".
Or are you talking about something else ?

Sorry, I explained myself badly.
In my previous message "active" and "current" were adjectives, not classes names.
I meant that there is no distinction between a selected parent category and an unselected one, whatever the class to distinguish them. The class is always just "hikashop_category_name" (please find attached pics).
The distinction is only between selected children categories and an unselected ones.

Hi,

You need to look at the div around the whole category:

So, for example, if you want to change the span of the main category for the sub category currently selected, you can use:

Hi Nicolas,
there's no div with hikashop_current_parent_category class in the page, event clicking on "Idee Regalo". Where did you get it from?

Please, delete the picture because it contains the url of my test server.
Thanks!

Hi,

Look in the screenshot I gave in my previous message. Just above the pointer of my mouse you can see the class hikashop_current_parent_category.
This is on the page of the "Biglietti d'auguri" sub category.
You can also see the class hikashop_current_subcategory on the li tag of the "Biglietti d'auguri" sub category in my screenshot.

If you want to delete the screenshot, you can click on the 3 dots on the page of the screenshot, just above the the top right corner of the image. And then select "request deletion".

Hi again Nicolas,
yes, I know that hikashop_current_parent_category is present in YOUR screenshot but I cannot find it in MY screenshots and in the test site I've set up for you.
That's why I asked you hou did you get that screenshot. Why my results are different?
Thanks!

Hi,

I don't know why your results are different.
As I said, I just looked at your test website in the "Biglietti d'auguri" sub category.
Here is a new screenshot where you can also see the URL of the page where I am: i.imgur.com/f5DJOXU.png
I don't understand why you would not have the classes on that same URL. Please double check.

Ok, I've realized that you are in the wrong category.
I was referring to MAIN categories (Idee regalo, Complementi d'arredo, etc...).

Hi,

Ah ok. Indeed, we were not talking about the same thing then.
I thought you were talking about the class of the main category while looking at the sub category page.
I see the problem now. I've made another patch to add the hikashop_current_category class when a main category is selected.

Also. Main category should be enhanced both when directly selected or when one of its subcategories are selected, I think.

Do I have to download the package again or are you going to create a new release?

Thank you very much!
Kind regards

Hi,

You have to download the package again and install it on your website to get the patch.

What do you mean by "Main category should be enhanced both when directly selected or when one of its subcategories are selected, I think" ?

Hi,
I'll download the package again, thanks.

I mean that if I select a subcategory, its parent should be "classed" as selected too because, if the subcategory is hidden (in an accordion, for example), the user knows that the current displayed page's menu is in its main category's branch. Please, find attached example.

Hi,

I'm not following you. Isn't that already the case ?
As I said in a previous message, you can use such CSS code to customize the parent category name when a sub category is selected:

Hi!
Yes, you are right. Sorry, my mistake.

Thank you!
