However, the tables of OpenCart need to be on the same database server. So, you could use PHPMyAdmin to export the tables of OpenCart and import them in the same database where you have your Joomla website with HikaShop in it.

This is opencart version 2.1.0.2 Is this a Hikashop setting or an Opencart setting that I need to fix?

I then took the output array of the $result that the code was trying to process and gave it to chatgpt as well as the error and asked what was wrong. ChatGPT responded "The error message "Attempt to assign property 'main_currency' on null" suggests that $this->options is not initialized before this code is executed. If $this->options is null, attempting to assign $this->options->$nk will cause this error." and gave me this code to add at line 259 if (!is_object($this->options)) { $this->options = new stdClass(); } This has resolved the problem.
