hikashop cart module can not select tmplate layout

Hi,

The layout is in HikaShop. That way, you can customize it via the menu Display>Views, like other views in HikaShop. The one you want to edit is product / cart.php

Hi,

I'm sorry but I don't know how Mighty Site works.
What is a "template layout" for you ? Do you have some extra setting in modules which aren't by default in Joomla to select that ?

But that's a setting specific to the latest article module.
That's not a setting all modules have and it's not in the cart module.
If you want to have a different display for different instances of the cart module, you can do it with custom coding in the override of the product / cart view file.
For example, you can add such code at the top:

<?php if((int)$this->params->get('id', 0) == XX) {
 echo "module instance with the id XX"; 
} else {
echo "other module instances of the cart module";
}
?>

Hi,

While that's true that the Joomla project added that setting to many modules included by default in Joomla, most modules not included in Joomla do not have that setting.
Also, that documentation explains how it can be used but not how it works in the background or how third party developers can implement it.
And we wouldn't be able to implement it the same way as the Joomla modules. That's because the code of the cart module is in product / cart. The cart module layout only has 3 lines of code to load the product / cart view file. Being able to override it with a layout like you can do with Joomla default modules wouldn't help you do what you want since you couldn't do any customization with these 3 lines of code.
What you want is something similar to the "layout on product page" setting of products / the HikaShop configuration which allows you to select among different view overrides across your templates.
While this could be implemented, I feel it's a lot of work for something almost no one would use while the alternative solution I proposed in my previous message is only a few lines of code.

Hi,

This is a non issue. It just depends on how you organize yourself.
The override of cart / product will be in templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_hikashop/product/cart.php
What you could do is create copies of that file, like for example templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_hikashop/product/cart_layout_XX.php and templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_hikashop/product/cart_default_layout.php
Then, in your product / cart view file, you could have just this code:

<?php if((int)$this->params->get('id', 0) == XX) {
 include_once('cart_layout_XX.php');
} else {
 include_once('cart_default_layout.php');
}
?>
