Plugins

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.4.0
-- Joomla version -- : 3.3.6
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : Firefox 37.0.1

I am trying to configure the Hikashop Social Media and Search plugins. Although I am publishing the plugin and completing all the parameters I am unable to see either the social buttons or the search box on the front end. Is there something I may be missing? I have attached some screen shots to show what I have done.

I appreciate your help.

UPDATE: I seem to have the social media buttons appearing now on my product pages ... is there a way to also show them on the Home page? - The search box is working I think.... but is there a need to change the CSS to make it more attractive... and is there a way of showing product images in the search? Also, is there a way to create a button on my facebook page to connect to my Hikashop store.

Thanks again.

Hi,

Please check in the view "product / show_default" that the following lines are present:

<?php
	$this->setLayout('show_block_social');
	echo $this->loadTemplate();
?>

<?php
//PLUGIN hikashop social
$pluginsClass = hikashop_get('class.plugins');
$plugin = $pluginsClass->getByName('system', 'hikashopsocial');
if (@ $plugin->published || @ $plugin->enabled) {
	echo '{hikashop_social}';
}else{ //backward compatibility added on 31/07/2014
	$plugin = $pluginsClass->getByName('content', 'hikashopsocial');
	if (@ $plugin->published || @ $plugin->enabled) {
		echo '{hikashop_social}';
	}
}

Thanks for your reply. I don't know how to find the code for the view "product / show_default" . Can you tell me where I will find this please?

Sorry to come back again.

The view I have in product/show_block_social is:

?><?php
$pluginsClass = hikashop_get('class.plugins');
$plugin = $pluginsClass->getByName('system', 'hikashopsocial');
if (@ $plugin->published || @ $plugin->enabled) {
	echo '{hikashop_social}';
}else{ //backward compatibility added on 31/07/2014
	$plugin = $pluginsClass->getByName('content', 'hikashopsocial');
	if (@ $plugin->published || @ $plugin->enabled) {
		echo '{hikashop_social}';
	}
}

Thanks for your reply. I do have the plugin hikashopsocial published. I have attached a screenshot of this. I really can't see what to do. Should I have a separate social network extension such as spshare? If so do I need to connect this with hikashop some way. I have also not found a way to show my products in search..

I appreciate your help
