Hi there,

First off, great script, I was extremely happy when I found your script ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/3.png ":)")

So anyways, my problem is when I set HikaShop category view as the home page and it displays "product category" as the page's title. I know I'm supposed to put some code like $title = 'showtitle'; in one of the views, I just don't know which file to edit. Preferably I would like it to use the manual one I set in the Joomla Menu Manager under Page Display Options.

Hi,

To display it as the main page, you had to create a menu. Edit this menu, then go in the HikaShop options and enable the option "Use menu name instead of category name for the title"

I have that setting set to "Yes" and it still displays "product category" as the title. I have my desired title in the menu options:
[ ![Hika&#95;MenuManager.png](/forum/attachment/8217) ](/forum/attachment/8217 "...enuManager.png")

And here is the HikaShop title enabled option:

What we refer as title in that HikaShop option is the title in the page which joomla now calls "page heading". The "Browser Page title" parameter of menus are not taken into account. Instead, the current categorie's "Page title" is used.
So you need to edit your category via the categories listing of joomla and enter your browser page title there.
For the product category, you first need to click on the "root" link to display the product category on the listing and then edit it.
