Hi,
I didn't understood what you wanted to do, do you want to create a product/category listing ?

Ok, so you can :
- create a menu through "Control panel-&gt;Menu manager-&gt;Menu Item-&gt;New"
- set the "Menu Item Type" to **product listing**
- save on time
- configure your hikashop product listing through the "HikaShop Options" link
- set the "Associated category" to the category that you want to be displaid

Hope this will help you.

No, you need a menu for a listing.
Otherwise, HikaShop doesn't have any display settings for the listing and won't be able to display it properly. Also, in some configurations, joomla won't even accept a link without the id of a menu and will display a 404 error.
