Hi,
Joomla 1.53
Hikashop 1.5.4

when we go to create a menu item to a product list of a certain category. we click to open the category choice and the modal shows and when we click on the category nothing happens.

its also weirdly defaulting to one particular one no matter what we do. enclosed is a screen shot of the modal. I also have Hika installed on a J1.7 site and when you click the category the modal closes and the category is selected. I was not sure if this worked this way in the 1.5 version or not...

any help would be appreciated.

Firefox 7.0.1

When you click on one of the category names on the left explorer, it displays the sub categories of that product on the right listing. As the category does not have any sub categories, you don't see anything on the listing. So far so good.
On your screenshot, you should click on "product category", then on the right listing of categories, you should click on the name of the category (and not in the explorer of the left) and that will add the category.

It's working on all the browsers for everyone else so it's strange. You can try on our demo website. It works on any browsers: [ demo.hikashop.com/adminsitrator](http://demo.hikashop.com/adminsitrator)

nicolas, something else strange is happening on another site. this one Joomla 1.7.
i have a link to a category product list. and no matter what i do i cant turn the border on and off or affect other display options. when i look at the menu link item it has a little lock next to it. when i do a global checkin it stays locked (i am the only user). when i click the lock it goes away only to reappear after i save the item.

any ideas??
thanks!!

You can access the hikashop options of your menu/module via the menu Display-&gt;Content menus/modules in HikaShop.
Since you're using a category listing menu, you have the hikashop options of your menu to control the display of sub categories and the hikashop options of the associated module of your menu to control the display of the products.

The page heading input text option is not taken into account by HikaShop. HikaShop will either display the current category name or the title of the menu based on the option "Use menu name instead of category name for the title" of your menu.

nicolas, here are some screen shots. alternatively, if i could figure out which template controls the main display of that page (and not the item loop) i could just stick a header in the template.. image missing http://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/joomla_menu_settings.png image missing http://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/hikashop_settings.png image missing http://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/frontendpage.png

i think there is something wrong in the product/listing.php template. this code:

> &lt;div id="&lt;?php echo $this-&gt;params-&gt;get('main\_div\_name');?&gt;" class="hikashop\_category\_information hikashop\_products\_listing\_main"&gt;
> &lt;?php
> if(version\_compare(JVERSION,'1.6','&lt;')){
> $title = 'show\_page\_title';
> }else{
> $title = 'menu\_text';
> }
> if($this-&gt;module){
> $title = 'showtitle';
> }
> if($this-&gt;params-&gt;get($title) &amp;&amp; JRequest::getVar('hikashop\_front\_end\_main',0) &amp;&amp; (!$this-&gt;module \|\| $this-&gt;pageInfo-&gt;elements-&gt;total)){
> $name = $this-&gt;params-&gt;get('page\_title');
> if(($this-&gt;module)){
> $name = $this-&gt;params-&gt;get('title');
> }
> ?&gt;
> &lt;h1&gt;
> &lt;?php echo $name; ?&gt;
> &lt;/h1&gt;

does not even show the h1 tags. further $name is an empty value. if i insert above the container div a head tag.. it shows it for both the main product listing and then repeats it again for the submodule section.

Mmm. I'm a bit lost here. What do you mean by "if i insert above the container div a head tag." ?

I see that in your menu's hikashop options, you have a module enabled for the "associated modules" option. For a products listing menu, you don't need an associated module since it's the menu itself which displays the listing of products.

if i do this in the product/listing.php page:
&lt;h1&gt;hello world&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;div id="&lt;?php echo $this-&gt;params-&gt;get('main_div_name');?&gt;" class="hikashop_category_information hikashop_products_listing_main"&gt;

hello world is printed at the top of the page and at the top of where the submodules should be displayed if there is one.

i dont get the whole associated module thing i was able to turn it off in safari, not FF (again i think something weird is going on there). it did not make a difference.. there is still no header appearing.

Hard to say anything. I would need a back end access in order to check your settings and maybe debug the problem.
