-- HikaShop version -- : 2.5.0
-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.3
-- PHP version -- : 5.3.29
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : chrome

In Categories Listing I get my 3 Categorys listed at the top of the page as I want. Under this I get a product listing of all the items. I have turned off the modules under "Associated modules".
I have read the documentation and searched the forum but clearly still doing something wrong. I just want to display the Product Category and not the individual items.
Thanks

Hi,

Turning off the modules in the" associated modules" of the menu is not the solution.
HikaShop will automatically recreate the associated module for you. Otherwise, when you click on your categories, you wouldn't see any products.
What you want instead is to change the "sub element filter" setting of that associated module to "direct sub elements" instead of "all sub elements" so that it only displays the products of the current category and not the products of the sub categories of the current category.

I have done something silly! I thought that I might have the Category system wrong. I had 3 categorys with the "parent category" set as "product category" - I deleted the "product category" from one of my category and now I cannot edit it.
Should all my categories be sub categories of the "product Category" and if so it is possible to retrieve my error.
Thanks

I have recovered this in the database. But my original problem is still a problem.

Hi,

Then that means that either you have caching on your website preventing you from seeing the change, or you added the main category of your menu to each product, which is not necessary. You should only add the categories where you want the product to display when you edit/add your product.
Or maybe you didn't edit the correct "sub element filter" option. Did you go in the menu Display>Content modules, and edited the module with the id 110 and turned off that option there ? That's the one used on your link.

You won't be able to edit it if it is considered as a root category.
You'll have to use a mass action via the menu System>Mass actions to update the category_parent_id of the category to the id of the product category based on a filter on the category_name matching with the name of the category.
Then, you can click on the "rebuild" button of the categories listing and it should display properly again.
