Is there anyway I can force Hikashop to refind all of the joomla templates that are on the system? I am putting variants of the same template on my website and differentiating them by the "name of the directory in templates" and adjusting the templateDetails.xml to reflect the new name of template Re-ordering shipping options - when I adjust the order in which shipping options are listed utilising the standard Joomla 1.5 arrows (for ordering) the item gets duplicated (visible under System->Shipping methods) Hope this helps, if one is not an issue but a result of the way Im replicating templates is it possible to force hikashop to see the changes immediately? I only ask as I might need to create some new variants on the template and waiting hours for the changes to show in hikashop isnt really going to work going forwards.

Here is an example: qualitycanvasprints.com/order/product/32...gory_pathway-12.html The item is called a 17 x 22 single pane canvas print, but the 17 x 22 shows "17 x 22: 17 x 22".
