Display description and joomla modules.

-- url of the page with the problem -- : test.artrageus1.com (soon to be artrageus1.com
-- HikaShop version -- : 2.2.3 Business
-- Joomla version -- : 3.2.1
-- PHP version -- :5.3.28
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : chrome current
-- Error-message(debug-mod must be tuned on) -- : Error_message

How do I get the display to be the same as the menu item link when I link via a category to a product listing?

For example:
I link to a product listing from the dropdown menu item Art>Humanimals(SubCategory of Art) and I see this: screencast.com/t/xFaShT0oG You can see the category description under the title and above the title the module assigned to the Art>Humanimals menu item.

However, if I navigate to Art which is a category listing page and then click on the category Humanimals, I see this: screencast.com/t/37ZFbSH2zT As you can see, the module showing at the top is different - this "featured artwork" module should be only showing on the home page and the "Art" menu item page. Additionally, the category description is missing beneath the title.

What can I do to make the page display like the menu item?

Thanks for your assistance.

Hi,
I think that the solution will probably be to configure the category listing content menu which have the ID 120 like you configured your category listing content menu which have the ID 143 through the page "Hikashop->Display->Content menus->'YourContentMenus'".

Hello,

I'm sorry but your suggestion did not solve the problem. First of all ID 120 is a category listing content menu ID 143 is a product listing content menu.

The issue still remains:

Hi Jerome,

Yes, I apologize sincerely for the delay in responding. In truth, I have put the site on hold because the client has been away. I did update Hikashop today, but I have not done much other work on the site.

Since the same issue is still active, should I create a new post?

Thanks,

Dawn

Hello,

Thank you for your response. I have setup the configuration of the menu items to be the same with one exception:

1. Art points to the category "Portfolios" so the output on the menu item page "Art" gives you the six categories that are nested within art. Above those category images you'll find the category description for "portfolios" and a Joomla widgetkit module that is assigned to the "Art" menu item.
2. Humanimals points to the product listing "Humanimals" so the output on the menu item page "Humanimals" gives you the products assigned to that category. When you click on the menu item directly, the product listing page loads and above the products you see the category description for Humanimals and a different Joomla Widgetkit module assigned to the "Humanimals" menu item.

Here's the configuration:

The problem happens when you click on the menu item "Art" and then click on the category image for Humanimals. What happens is that the category description does not update to the Humanimals category description; instead, it still shows the "Portfolios" category description. Additionally, when you click on the category image Humanimals on the "Art" page the page loads the module assigned to the "Art" menu item instead of the module assigned to the "Humanimals" menu item.

Here is a video to illustrate what I am trying to fix:

Thanks so much for you assistance.
