Otherwise, the search area selected by the user will just be discarded.

Thanks Now we perform a search and click on category product link: index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=category&task=listing&name=liftkit&cid=84 we have the correct breakcrumb but a blank page. The same for the manufacturer search link: index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=category&task=listing&name=skyjackersuspension&cid=367 we don't have any breadcrumb and we a listing of the top level product categories. I believe it is a question of configuration but I could find anything in the forums or documentation.

We do not have a any parent 'manufacturer' category menu link. So if we put in any category menu id we list the product category instead. Any suggestions?

If you install it on your website, it should enable you to do that and thus fix the problem with manufacturers. #### *This attachment is hidden for guests.
