Can't Customise Display Views

Hi,

As you said, usually this is because you're doing the modifications for the wrong template.
But since you say it's not that, then I'm not sure.
Do you see the customization after you've saved it ? (a bin icon should appear under the "remove customization" column of the Display>Views menu for the view files with an override).
And if you open the customized view file, do you see your changes or an empty file ?
Sometimes security systems can mess up with the view overrides system as it flags the view overrides as potentially harmful (even if that's not the case). And in such cases, it's possible that the saving is refused, or that the saved override end up empty.

Note that you can also do view overrides via the Joomla override system (both systems are compatible together):

Hi,

The empty cart message is not displayed by Hikashop but your template provider. HikaShop provides the text (which you can change with a translation override), but the look of it depends on your template:

Note that regarding the translations, there are two of them for the empty cart message: EMPTY_CART_MESSAGE and CART_EMPTY
You you need to change both as they are used in different situations.

Regarding the "Display view files" setting in the Hikashop configuration, it will mark all the view files used by HikaShop. You'll likely not see anything around the empty cart message since, as I said above, the cart empty message is not displayed by HikaShop.

Hi,

I don't understand what you mean ?
The empty cart message you see when you get redirected to another page is not in a view file.
It's done in a controller file.
For example, if you try to access a HikaShop checkout page while your cart is empty, the message will come from the code:

if(empty($cart) || empty($cart->cart_id) || empty($cart->products)) {
			if(!empty($cart->messages)) {
				// Display messages
				foreach($cart->messages as $msg) {
					$this->app->enqueueMessage($msg['msg'], $msg['type']);
				}
			}
			$this->setRedirect($checkoutHelper->getRedirectUrl(), JText::_('CART_EMPTY'));
			return true;
		}

		if(empty($cart->products)) {
			$checkoutHelper->redirectBeforeDisplay = JText::_('CART_EMPTY');
		}
