Hope this is doable.")* Hi, You can edit the file show of the view product via the menu Display->Views and change the line: echo JText::sprintf('MANUFACTURER_URL','<a href="'.$this->element->product_url.'" target="_blank">'.$this->element->product_url.'</a>'); to what you need. I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "Description link (without the actual http address following." so I can give the precise code... Also, if you use variants, you would have to replace the line: echo JText::sprintf('MANUFACTURER_URL','<a href="'.$variant->product_url.'" target="_blank">'.$variant->product_url.'</a>'); in the same manner.

I changed what you said and it's doing exactly what I want. Could I also ask something else? Shouldn't Shipping methods also appear on the checkout page? I have added 2 types on the HikaShop manual shipping plugin but they don't show. The payment method (even though I just have one) is showing alright.
