Many Thanks")* Hi, How about using the "breadcrumb" module of Joomla ? It will automatically display the path to the product page and so based on how you configured your menu items, the categories and if you have the "simplified breadcrumb" setting turned off in the HikaShop configuration, that module should do what you want.

I am looking to list all product categories including hierarchy which a product is in within the product page. Any idea on how this could be achieved?

Many Thanks")* Hi, In that case, the breadcrumb module won't help you since it will only display the hierarchy of the categories for the category from which you accessed the product page, and not the hierarchy of all the categories the product is linked to. So the solution would be to edit one of the view files of the product view via the menu Display>Views and add custom code there to display that yourself (or ask a developer to do that for you if you're not one yourself). You can find which view file to edit using the "Display view files" setting of the HikaShop configuration: [ www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/1...-display.html#layout](https://www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/153-customize-the-display.html#layout) You'll find the categories of the product in $this->categories in these view files. So then, you'll have to loop on that array and call the getParents function to get the hierarchy of each category: Code: $categoryClass = hikashop_get('class.category'); foreach($this->categories as $c) { echo '<br/>'; $hierarchy = $categoryClass->getParents($c->category_id); foreach($hierarchy as $category) { echo ' / '.$category->category_name; } } Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtL3Byb2R1Y3QtY2F0ZWdvcnktZGlzcGxheS85MDEwNzgtZGlzcGxheS1wcm9kdWN0LWNhdGVnb3J5LWhpZXJhcmNoeS1vbi1wcm9kdWN0LXBhZ2U/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[hebby](/forum/user/25925-hebby "View hebby's Profile")** - [![hebby's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/25925-hebby "View hebby's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/25925-hebby) Less More - Posts: 18 - Thank you received: 0 - - 5 years 11 months ago [\#326233](#326233) by [hebby](/forum/user/25925-hebby "View hebby's Profile") Replied by *[hebby](/forum/user/25925-hebby "View hebby's Profile")* on topic *[Display product category hierarchy on product page](/forum/26-product-category-display/901078-display-product-category-hierarchy-on-product-page#326233 "-- HikaShop version -- : 4.3.0 -- Joomla version -- : 3.9.22 Hi Team, Could you please help me in the below problem?

[ ![productdesc.PNG](/forum/attachment/51172) ](/forum/attachment/51172 "productdesc.PNG") The aim was to put this info above the product description on the product pages. Any ideas on why this is not working and how to fix it? I am far from a developer so any help would be appreciated.

Many Thanks")* Hi, The listing_desc.php file is used on the products listing page, not on the product details page. First $this->categories is not available there, and second if you change the product details page or if you didn't select the layout using that view file on your products listing settings, you won't see any change. To check which view file to modify, you can use the "Display view files" setting of the HikaShop configuration, as I explained in my previous message. If you do and check the product details page, you should see that it uses product / show.php and then product / show_default.php or product / show_tabular.php and several show_block_*.php view files. So that in one of these that you'll want to add that code.
