I created a hidden menu in Joomla and selected the relevant hikashop 'product page' for the Joomla 'Menu item type'. I then published my custom HTML module to a free module position on my hikashop product page. However, the module does not appear. Can you please explain how I can get my custom html module to appear on the hikashop product page? I thought by assigning the hikashop product page to a hidden Joomla menu would make this work.. .but maybe not. Any help greatly appreciated!")
