This works similarly to the compare feature where users can quickly add multiple items. We leverage the hikashopModifyQuantity JS function for every selected item in the product listing. Everything works fine, except for the SqueezeBox confirmation window, where it seems every product adds its own iframe to the window. We would like to modify it so it renders a list of products that was added in a single iframe. Any tips or suggestions? Thanks!

I took a deeper dive and looked at how hikashop's product search was implemented and found the following: /plugins/search/hikashop_products/hikashop_products.php #59: There is a complete omission of logic to determine how products will be sorted by category. Was this an oversight? Is there an alternative? This sorting strategy is very important to our client - a potential dealbreaker, in fact. I would implement via subclassing but this logic is buried in the 300-line onSearch method and doing anything in that would compromise our ability to apply updates. So from our end we're in a bind. Can you possibly provide a hotfix? Thanks, Tony") Category: [Development](/forum/31-development "If you are developping a plugin for Hikashop or customizing our component, this is the board to be.")

So we listed there the possible types of sorting that the Joomla search system can request. We didn't implemented the category sorting as it is quite strange to sort search results by categories when you have default types of results. When you have at the same time Joomla articles and HikaShop products as results, the categories won't match between them. On top of that, you can have several layers of categories in HikaShop, with potentially several categories for each product. So that makes it quite complex to sort products by categories. So it's not impossible to add that, but it won't be with a hotfix as it would be complex, time a lot of time to do properly, for a result which might not work out properly in all the cases. Instead of using the Joomla search system, I would rather recommend to use the filter system of HikaShop: www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/1...-filter-listing.html With it, you'll be able to have a similar search page but which will only search on products and will display the results with a HikaShop products listing menu item. Thanks to that, you'll be able to group the results by category by simply changing the "sub elements filter" setting of the menu to "group by category".

One of our requirements is to store a comment per cart and per product item. Our client has expressed that THEY DO NOT WANT USERS TO LOGIN (If so, we could have made use of the wishlist). With that requirement and constraint, we decided to augment the cart itself since guest carts were available and I began to build a plugin that would, at least for product items, fulfill that requirement (called a 'wishcart'). I created a hikashop 'view' to be added to the checkout workflow. I also set the $go_back to true in onAfterCheckoutStep - this essentially created an anonymous persistent cart which is what our client desired. I also overrode the checkout/cart.php to: 1. add a textarea for note capture 2. perform a query that would set the value of the textarea to the note previously entered - of course, only if our custom table exists and there was a note found for the cart product item. 3. 'repurposed' the quantity update icon to submit the form (I just removed the condition where the input value had to be different from the last known product quantity) I got the plugin to a stable working state in a local sandbox and of course, when installing on a live server, things got a bit strange. So now when the form submits, the checkout process appears to be completed (we receive a message saying "Thanks for your purchase"), but there is a sidebar cart module as well and that remains, so I know the cart hasn't been removed and the checkout process hasn't completed. This was a strange requirement to begin and I think I'm more confused than I ever was. I can provide back-end / ftp info is that will help you diagnose things.

I'm in the early definition stage of this and was looking to get an idea of the scope of this and hopefully get a bit of feedback from the authors. * Does a module exist that does this? * If not, my initial plan of attack would be a custom plugin that would update some custom tables when an wishlist insert / update / delete operation has been detected - does that make sense? * Are there any suggestions you can make towards keeping this extension compatible with hikashop when updated?
