Problem with brands

-- url of the page with the problem -- : www.lienocka.sk
-- HikaShop version -- : 2.2.1
-- Joomla version -- : 2.5.14

Hi, first I would like to thank you for the great product.
I am experiencing a problem with showing the brands pages. For example - I have products with a brand "Badger". When customer click on the product page to the name of the manufacturer "Badger" it should take him to the "Badger" page.

The problem is, that this is sometimes truth:
- www.lienocka.sk - click on "Bio aromaterapeutické produkty" , then on any product, and finally on "Badger"

and sometimes is not:
- www.lienocka.sk - move pointer to "Bio aromaterapeutické produkty", then click on any product from the menu, and finally on "Badger"

Thank you very much for your help.

Thanks for answer. I understand, but how can I make the correct link to category listing from the second product page?

Hi,

You can probably edit the view "product / show_default" and replace :

		if (!empty ($this->element->product_url)) {
			//DISPLAY the manufacturer
			echo JText :: sprintf('MANUFACTURER_URL', '<a href="' . $this->element->product_url . '" target="_blank">' . $this->element->product_url . '</a>');
		}

		if (!empty ($this->element->product_url)) {
			//DISPLAY the manufacturer
			echo JText :: sprintf('MANUFACTURER_URL', '<a href="' . JUri::base().'lmenu-bio-aromaterapeuticke-produkty/category/'.$this->element->product_manufacturer_id . '" target="_blank">' . $this->element->product_url . '</a>');
		}

Hi Xavier,

can you please explain where is the view "product / show_default" located? Thanks

I have the same issue but it wasn't fixed the above view edit
where it doesn't work it adds ?Itemid= to the brand URL and shows no products, how can I fix this?

I'm not sure I know what that means. please have a look at our website is safka.co.nz and let me know what do we need to add into this code to make it work for all displayed modules?

this is about the link to Brands on the product page! they don't work when you click onto a product page from any displayed hikashop module.

Click on any product on our homepage www.safka.co.nz and the Brand link will not work!
for example you will land on this product page
safka.co.nz/index.php/component/hikashop...stmas-chocolate.html
the Brand link will point to safka.co.nz/index.php/component/hikashop...eregger.html?Itemid= which will not display any products from that brand

meanwhile, if you follow the product categories to the product pages, the Brands link works fine
for example from safka.co.nz/index.php/categories/category.html through to safka.co.nz/index.php/categories/categor...ing-ingredients.html to this prodict page safka.co.nz/index.php/categories/product...ory_pathway-107.html
the Brand link on that product page is safka.co.nz/index.php/categories/category/55-ruf.html and it works

I hope this clarifies the problem and you will be able to tell me how to fix it thanks

Hi,
Can you go :
- Go to "Hikashop->Display->Content modules"
- Go to the configuration page of the module which are displayed through "home" menu of your website.
- Make sure that you have set the "Menu" option of your Hikashop content modules to "Brands".

Hope this will solve your problem.

many thanks, that fixed it!
