Overriding Catalog Mode: Enabling "Add to Cart" Button on Specific Categories (J

-- url of the page with the problem -- : fixity.hu
-- HikaShop version -- : 601
-- Joomla version -- : 5
-- PHP version -- : 8

Dear HikaShop Support Team,

We are using HikaShop on a Joomla 5 environment, and the entire store is currently configured in Catalog Mode.

We need to enable the "Add to Cart" button to appear on the product listing view for specific categories, thereby overriding the global Catalog Mode setting.

The issue is as follows:

Main Category Page (Menu Item ID: 1258): We need the button visible on this page.

Link: fixity.hu/arlista/imei-ellenorzes.html

Sub-Category Product Listing Pages (Category ID: 1259): The button must also appear on sub-pages like this one.

Example Link: fixity.hu/arlista/imei-ellenorzes/tipus/1259-iphone.html

When editing the category (Components > HikaShop > Categories), we are unable to find the standard overriding option. Specifically, the option to set "Add to Cart" to "Yes" is missing from the Product features display section.

Could you please advise on where to locate the specific setting in the Joomla 5/latest HikaShop interface that allows us to override the global Catalog Mode and enable the "Add to Cart" button for Category ID 1259?

Thank you for your assistance.

Sincerely, Gergo

Thanks – one more issue with category “Add to Cart” button visibility

Hi,

Thank you very much, the main issue is solved. However, I still have one small problem: on the category page, the “Add to Cart” button is still visible — for example here:
fixity.hu/arlista/imei-ellenorzes/tipus/1273-xiaomi.html

But on the product page, the button does not appear (which is correct):
fixity.hu/arlista/termek/3221-xiaomi-ellenorzes

In my case, I don’t want to show any “Add to Cart” button on the category pages at all, because there is nothing to sell there — it’s only informational content.

Could you please let me know how to hide the “Add to Cart” button on category listings, while keeping the product page as it is now?

Thanks again for your help!
Best regards,
Gergő

Hi,

Thank you, your previous suggestion worked — the Add to Cart button is now hidden in the main category view (for example:
fixity.hu/arlista/imei-ellenorzes.html
).

However, when I open one of the products inside this category, such as:
fixity.hu/arlista/termek/3201-szolgaltat...olasi-allapot-es-fmi
,
the Add to Cart button doesn’t appear at all — even though I would like it to be visible there.

Could you please let me know how I can enable the Add to Cart button on the individual product pages?

Thank you for your help!
Best regards,
Fixity

It doesn't appear for me. Could you take a look at what the problem could be? Thank you

I think the error is in custom.css.

thank you, it's solved!! how can I change its appearance because it's really not pretty?
I'm also asking for your help with the PayPal payment saying: Access Forbidden, all settings are correct.

Dear Nicolas,

The PayPal issue is now resolved — I just had to enable user registration, and it works perfectly now.
From what I see, purchasing normally requires the Essential plan, which is fine.

However, I’ve just noticed that the Add to Cart button now appears on every product (iPhone, Samsung, etc.), and I only want it to appear on this single page:

fixity.hu/arlista/imei-ellenorzes.html

For all other products, I don’t want the cart button to be visible.
Currently, my shop is in catalog mode, and I’d like to make an exception so that only the IMEI Check page allows adding to cart.

Could you please advise me on the best way to handle this?

Is it possible to enable the cart per category or product while keeping the rest in catalog mode?

Or should I do this via a template override (e.g., in show_default.php) and display the button conditionally only for that specific page?

Is there perhaps an official setting or plugin in the Essential or Business plan that supports this behavior?

Thank you very much for your help!

P.S. Will there be a Black Friday promotion on HikaShop plans this year?
