Hi,

I wanted to know if there is a way to let users switch between list (div) and grid view without creating a new menu? It causes a number of issues like duplicate urls for products (but I know I can set the canonical) and I also need to duplicate other modules/menus (such as the side menu) to match the new style.

Is there a better way to do it? Like with a filter or something?

Regards,
Michael.

Hi,

With a view override and a bit of javascript to update the CSS of the elements, you should be able to do that without the need of a separate menu.
That's something we want to add in the future.

Hi Dear Nicolas
ajax Grid/List View Swticher now work in hikashop? You say we want to add in the future.

Hi,

Some templates have that for HikaShop. And it's possible with some view override. But there is no option by default to display that in HikaShop.
And yes, that's something we want to add in the future.

Thank you
How can view override for ajax display? Which files override for ajax?

Hello,

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you're talking about.
Please read carefully the Nicolas message :

Some templates have that for HikaShop. And it's possible with some view override. But there is no option by default to display that in HikaShop.

If you want to perform some overrides :
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/1...ize-the-display.html

But please understand that the feature you're asking require development which is outside the limit of our support.

Regards,

I want call view using ajax for example after override list view we can call it with ajax.
How can do it?
and you say Some templates have that for HikaShop do you know which template has it?

Hi,

If you want to request a page with AJAX, you can use the ajax functions of javascript:
www.sitepoint.com/guide-vanilla-ajax-without-jquery/

On Joomla, if you want to call a page without the modules and template around the main area, you can add the parameter &tmpl=component
For example:
demo.hikashop.com/index.php/en/hikashop/...sting/display-in-div
demo.hikashop.com/index.php/en/hikashop/...n-div?tmpl=component
So you can edit the HikaShop views as explained in the link Jerome gave you, and add there your button to switch the interface, along with the javascript it would trigger when the user click on the button to call the same page URL with the tmpl parameter and replace the main area content with what is sent back by the AJAX.
Then, in the view file, you can add custom PHP to display the listing differently based on that tmpl parameter value.

I hope it's clear. As Jerome explained, we can't provide a ready made solution as this requires proper development and is outside of the scope of this user forum.

No not yet. We worked on different things so far. It's still something we want to do.
