Hi
Thank you very much in advance for putting the edit layout button in the address form. It has helped make Hikashop more beautiful. I hope this beauty will spread to other sections as well :silly: :silly: :silly:

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback. I've made a patch for this. Can you download the install package of HikaShop on our website and install it on yours ? You'll get the patch and it should then work fine.

Do you have suggestions for which areas need some love ? We've already done a lot in the past year, adding new product page layouts, reworking the existing layouts for the product page, and for the products listing, adding import and export interfaces, improving things here and there.
Next release, we'll have big improvements added to filters.

Hi Nicolas,

Thank you very much for the quick fix and patch. I’ll update HikaShop with the latest package.

Regarding your question, yes, I do have a few suggestions. I’ve built many online stores with HikaShop over the years, so most of my feedback comes from real project experience.

I can see and appreciate the many improvements you’ve made over the years, and they are definitely noticeable. I’d be happy to share more detailed feedback on RTL/UI and Persian localization if that can be helpful.

Below are some suggestions that I can think of right now:

I think it would be good if the product unit could be selected in the category management section. In a store, a category of products may be sold by weight, another category by quantity, or even another category by length.

As far as I can tell, the comments section is not displayed in other layouts except in the tabbed layout.

Also, for SEO reasons, my customers like the descriptions they provide in the product category and product management to be displayed in a short section at the top of the category page and a larger section at the bottom of this section, after the product list. Maybe adding a "continue reading" button would be good in this regard. Something like the introduction text and full text of the article in the Joomla content component.

Currently, we have to use custom fields for the product page to do this. I don't know if this is possible for categories.

It would be good to be able to specify the dimensions of the images in the Hikashop product list menu settings. But I don't think these dimensions should be given to styles with JavaScript:

#hikashop_category_information_menu_119 .hikashop_product_image_subdiv {
width: 450px;
}

#hikashop_category_information_menu_119 .hikashop_product_image {
height: 450px;
}
It causes the images to protrude from the sides if they are larger than the product card window. To fix this problem, we have to override the CSS:
.com_hikashop.view-product.layout-listing .hikashop_product_image {
height: 100% !important;
}

.com_hikashop.view-product.layout-listing .hikashop_product_image_subdiv {
width: 100% !important;
}

The attribute of the images we upload to the product management page will take the product title instead of the image name.

I noticed that when a category is created, it doesn't have a canonical link. When a user clicks on this category in the frontend, the canonical link is created and looks something like this:
product/fruit/category/apple
The category phrase in the link is unnecessary. When I remove this phrase from the canonical link, it gives a 404 error in the frontend. So we have to create a menu with the exact new canonical path:
product/fruit/apple
so that the category page is displayed in the frontend.
For the product page, I leave the Product SEF name blank so that the Product phrase is not included in the canonical link.

Best regards,
Masoud

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback. As there are many points I'll answer them one below the other:

1.

I think it would be good if the product unit could be selected in the category management section. In a store, a category of products may be sold by weight, another category by quantity, or even another category by length.

What you can do to do this is to create a custom item field for each type and restrict it to the categories you want. Then, you can use the price calculations plugin with one formule per field to calculate the price based on what is used by the customer in the fields.
This offers great flexibility but it does require some set up work.

2.

As far as I can tell, the comments section is not displayed in other layouts except in the tabbed layout.

All product page layouts have the comment area. On other layouts it is normally placed below the product description.

3.

Also, for SEO reasons, my customers like the descriptions they provide in the product category and product management to be displayed in a short section at the top of the category page and a larger section at the bottom of this section, after the product list. Maybe adding a "continue reading" button would be good in this regard. Something like the introduction text and full text of the article in the Joomla content component.

Currently, we have to use custom fields for the product page to do this. I don't know if this is possible for categories.

Yes, you can create a custom field of the table "category" to be able to have extra text areas. Then, you can move the custom category field display area in product / listing and category / listing to be at the bottom of the page. That way, you'll have the description at the top and the custom category field at the bottom.
And if you want to add a read more, it's a small addition in that same view file after the description display code with something like this:
<a href="#hikashop_category_custom_info_main">Read more</a>

4.

It would be good to be able to specify the dimensions of the images in the Hikashop product list menu settings. But I don't think these dimensions should be given to styles with JavaScript:

#hikashop_category_information_menu_119 .hikashop_product_image_subdiv {
width: 450px;
}

#hikashop_category_information_menu_119 .hikashop_product_image {
height: 450px;
}
It causes the images to protrude from the sides if they are larger than the product card window. To fix this problem, we have to override the CSS:
.com_hikashop.view-product.layout-listing .hikashop_product_image {
height: 100% !important;
}

.com_hikashop.view-product.layout-listing .hikashop_product_image_subdiv {
width: 100% !important;
}

This should be improved with the next version of HikaShop. I've worked on improving image display on the frontend for the next release last week.

5.

The attribute of the images we upload to the product management page will take the product title instead of the image name.

I thought about this in the past, but what about if you have several images for a product ? That wouldn't work.

6.

I noticed that when a category is created, it doesn't have a canonical link. When a user clicks on this category in the frontend, the canonical link is created and looks something like this:
product/fruit/category/apple
The category phrase in the link is unnecessary. When I remove this phrase from the canonical link, it gives a 404 error in the frontend. So we have to create a menu with the exact new canonical path:
product/fruit/apple
so that the category page is displayed in the frontend.
For the product page, I leave the Product SEF name blank so that the Product phrase is not included in the canonical link.

This comes from a limitation of the current SEF system which relies on either the product SEF name or the category SEF name not being empty to be able to separate the SEFed URLs during routing.
I'm actually looking into improving this this week so hopefully this will be improved with the next version of HikaShop too.

Hi
Thanks for the answers.

1.

What you can do to do this is to create a custom item field for each type and restrict it to the categories you want. Then, you can use the price calculations plugin with one formula per field to calculate the price based on what is used by the customer in the fields.
This offers great flexibility but it does require some set up work.

I know about the custom field and the price calculation plugin. I even wrote a plugin similar to yours that would insert the calculation formula into each product category. Because writing a general formula in the plugin itself might not work well where the fields were the same but the calculation formula was different.

I think I didn't convey my point well in this case.
Let's say we have a product that is sold in both quantity and kilo. Or we have products in a category that are sold in kilos and some in quantity. The price that is entered is not clear whether it is in kilos or quantity. It would be great if the price label could be displayed based on whether the price is in kilos or in quantity or even in length.
Currently, the "each" translation string exists without a value and is not useful at all and I think it would be better to remove it.
If I wanted to display the price label based on one of the units of kilo, quantity and length, it would require a lot of editing in the product layout.
It would be great if there was an option to select a label in the product price settings.
It would also be great if there was an option to import price labels in the advanced settings of Hikashop, similar to what is currently available for length units or weight units.

2.

All product page layouts have the comment area. On other layouts it is normally placed below the product description.

It was my fault. I forgot to enable the settings. Thanks.

thanks

thanks

I thought about this in the past, but what about if you have several images for a product ? That wouldn't work.

We will work on multiple images and manually edit the alt attribute. And I don't mean to remove the ability to manually enter or edit the Alt. Just that at least for the first image or all images, the Alt attribute is filled with the product title and if any editing is needed, we will enter it manually.

6.
It's going to be great.
