To do that, you first need to edit the product / form view file via the menu Display>Views. There, you can find this block of code which displays the related products option: Code: if(hikashop_acl('product/edit/related')) { ?> <dt class="hikashop_product_related"><label for="data_product_related_text"><?php echo JText::_('RELATED_PRODUCTS'); ?></label></dt> <dd class="hikashop_product_related"><?php echo $this->nameboxType->display( 'data[product][related]', @$this->product->related, hikashopNameboxType::NAMEBOX_MULTIPLE, 'product', array( 'delete' => true, 'sort' => true, 'default_text' => '<em>'.JText::_('HIKA_NONE').'</em>', ) ); ?></dd> <?php } There, below the line: Code: 'default_text' => '<em>'.JText::_('HIKA_NONE').'</em>', you can add the line: Code: 'displayFormat' => '<span class="product_published_{product_published}">[{product_id}] {product_name}</span>', That way, in the selector tree, each product name will be surrounded by a span with either the class product_published_0 or the class product_published_1 Then, you can add a piece of CSS to your backend template ( [ joomlaforever.com/overrides/override-the...e-cache-admin-module](https://joomlaforever.com/overrides/override-the-invalidate-cache-admin-module) ) for these classes. For example: Code: .product_published_0{ background-color: #ffdddd; } will display a light red background for unpublished products.
