layout problems

ok this is a whole new set of things i want to fix and can't figure it out on my own.
i open the product page and the products are there in a div layout. all good so far but then what happens next is problematic. when i open a certain product it opens bellow the list instead of loading in a new and empty screen. same for the checkout and login check. they just append below. i would like it all to appear in a new and clean screen. this might be trivial but you can tar and feather me and i still can't figure it out

That means that you displayed your products listing as a module and not as a menu. Modules are displayed on all the pages while menus are only displayed by clicking on the menu item.
If you give a link to your website we would be able to give you more precise directions as to what to do.

i am using localhost so that's not possible. and yes i assigned the module to a certain menu. i will put the website during the next days on a free host somewhere but i would really like to fix this by then.

Instead of using the module, you should unpbulish it and create a menu of the type hikashop products listing via the joomla menu manager.

when i do that all i get is the cart saying that the cart is empty

Do you have the same hikashop options in your menu and your module ? Could you do a screenshot of the hikashop options of your menu ?

i see... well i just noticed that they were different. in fact i didn't notice that there were 2 seperate options. ok not it works. the only question remains. after i edited the correct login file. when i press the cart i don't only get the text message asking for a login/register, but also the payment, delivery options and the cart content

Is that a problem ? Could you do a screenshot so that we can see what you're talking about ?

I draw a square around the part that i would like visible only when logged in. this part isn't bothering me, but it would make it easier to follow by users

What do you have in the checkout workflow option of the configuration ?

login_address_shipping_payment_confirm_cart_status_fields,end

i still want that section to appear after the users login, just not before

try this one: login,address_shipping_payment_confirm_cart_status_fields,end

seems to be working. i will find out as soon as i resolve my login/logout issues
