Thank You!")* Hi, I think that you can maybe use the the Hikashop [ product insert plugin](http://www.hikashop.com/fr/support/documentation/integrated-documentation/137-hikashop-product-insert.html) that will allow you to add your category's products to your joomla articles. Hope this will help you.

Thank You!")* Yes, I can do that, but my workshop is customized so that when you purchase one product you have to purchase the other that goes with it to checkout. When I send the user straight to the products page this customization no longer applies. Not sure why this happens. Is it because I have a duplicate page with the same ID (184) I noticed when I replace the page with the article the link changes to this: https://www.******.com/index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=category&task=listing&cid=21&name=yellow-devices&Itemid=184%20 I assume the 20% is significant in solving the problem, I just really have no programming/web development experience. Maybe you could shed some light on this? Thank You. Last edit: 13 years 10 months ago by [Telmi2012](/forum/user/12622-telmi2012 "View Telmi2012's Profile").

We have to check it, but it could be a unwanted space in your product insert code or a mistake in the "product insert" plugin.

The "product insert" plugin **don't consider** product's options, but that's a good idea so we will probably add this feature in the next version of this plugin.
