HI,
I have two problems.
1.I have enabled the Product Search module and it works ok until you click on any of the search result links.
Then you get a double left position products menu and the link opens a new broswer window with the product page.
How can I set it up so it won't be a double menu and opened in the same window?
URL: http://www.fly-tiers.se/index.php/en/web-shop
Type for example "adams" in the Product search text field and click enter to see what I mean.

2. When I add related products to a product and click that product in the front end I get a header text snd only 1 product in a list.
I would like to configure it so it display all related products in a line of thumbnails the way products are listed when you click a category in the Products menu in the left position.
URL for an example:
How can I set it up like that?

Best regards,
Micke

Hi,

1. In the options of your hikashop products search plugin, you will find the option Itemid ( or menu ) where you need to enter the id of your category listing menu (id 520 on your website). And on that same screen, you will find the option to select whether you want the result links to open in a new window or not.

2. You simply need to configure the related products module's hikashop options via the menu Display->Content modules in order to display the products the way you want.

1. I went in to the Plugins => HikaShop products search plugin and set it up like this:
Itemid: 520
New Page: No
It now open the product page in the same browser window so that's fine but the double menu is still there :(

2. Ok thanks that did the trick!

But still double menu...

How do you have parameter the module display ? (in the joomla options)

Have you created this module only one time or is it duplicated ?

Hi,
I have set it up with one menu for the Swedish part of the shop and one for the english part.
And also one Products menu for the site outside the web shop = normal joomla left side menus that is only visible when clicking on the Products link in the usual maiin menu.
When clicking the Web Shop link you enter the HikaShop part and the left Products menu appear (it's a categories list).
I don't know if there's any duplicated menus by doing this.
I tried to disable the english version of the menu and assign the swedish menu also to the english parts of HikaShop but I couldn't get the menu header translated to english.
And that did not solve the double menu.
Now that I have tried to set it up I have got a deeper problem where the double menu comes up as soon as you click a Product category in the menu :(
Before it just got double when I had made a Product search and clicked on a link in the search results list.
Wowee this is so confusing and now it feels like I'm back on step one again...

Well I solved at least the double menu when clicking any of the Product categories but no luck with the double menu after clicking any of the product search results.

It is solved!
Went back to the plugin settings for the HikaShop product search plugin and found that the itemid was with a space in front of the 520....
So as usual SBK (Shit Behind the Keys)... sorry for bothering so much regarding this.
