You need to load the category data if you want its name because it's not loaded on that page:

$categoryClass = hikashop::get('class.category');
$category = $categoryClass->get(JRequest::getVar('category_pathway'));

echo @$category->category_name;

(please remember that you should avoid to modify the view files directly and use the menu Display->Views instead which will save your modifications in your template's view override folder and allow you to update HikaShop without loosing your modifications)

it doesnt seem to work at all, i tried to insert the code at various places but without any results, it comes out blank, frontend source code shows nothing either

have i missed something?

What is the link of our product page ? Do you have a category_pathway in the parameters of that link ?

Could you copy/paste the modification you did ?

from listing_div.php in product folder

<?php } ?>
<div class="hikashop_products" style="clear:both">

<?php $class = hikashop::get('class.category');
$category = $class->get(JRequest::getVar('category_name')); ?>
<h1> Tillgängliga delar från <?php echo $category->category_name; ?></h1>
<ul class="hikashop_product_list">
<?php
$columns = $this->params->get('columns');
$height = (int)(30/$columns)-1;
$current_column = 1;


if(!empty($this->rows)){
foreach($this->rows as $row){
?>
<div class="hikashop_product" style="width:<?php echo $width;?>%;">
<div class="hikashop_container">
<div class="hikashop_subcontainer"><h4>
<li class="hikashop_product_list_item" style="float:left;width:<?php echo $width;?>%;"><?php
$this->row =& $row;
$this->setLayout('listing_'.$this->params->get('div_item_layout_type'));
echo $row->product_name;

?></li></h4>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php if($current_column>=$columns){ ?>
<div style="clear:both"></div>
<?php
$current_column=0;
}
$current_column++;
}
}
?></ul>
</div>

You wrote $category = $class->get(JRequest::getVar('category_name'));
instead of $category = $class->get(JRequest::getVar('category_pathway'));

hikashop::completeLink('category&task=listing&cid='.$child->category_id.'&name='.$child->alias.$this->menu_id);

i think this is it, i dont think i have any parameters for category_pathway

<?php
$category_pathway = hikashop::completeLink('category&task=listing&cid='.$child->category_id.'&name='.$child->alias.$this->menu_id);
$categoryClass = hikashop::get('class.category');
$category = $categoryClass->get(JRequest::getVar('category_pathway')); ?>

tried to insert this piece of coding but still no luck

Wait. You said that you wanted to display the category name on the product page. So I gave you the code for that.
But now you're pasting code which is for the listing of products...
If you want to display the category name on the listing of products, you should be able to do that by just turning off the option "Use menu name instead of category name for the title" in your menu's options...

If you want to do it with code in the view, you can use that:
echo $this->element->category_name;

is there some similar code for parent_category_name | category_name by any chance?

For example I have Parent Category "Soda" then Category "Cherry". Well that code just returns Cherry, which could also be other categories ("Fruit" for example). If it returned Soda > Cherry I would prefer that if possible. thanks for any help.

Parent categories data is not available in the view.
But I must ask, if you want the display exactly the same thing as the breadcrumb module, why not just use the breacrumb module ?

well I was preferring to make it as a h1 (not linkable) but may go the breadcrumb route. I am sort of styling as I edit 700 products so my focus is lacking also. =x

Hi,
What do you exactly mean by "in the article", a Joomla article ? if that's the case, you'll have to directly edit the code of the Hikashop product TAG translation plugin.
