How to clone category view module

Hello

Integration of hikashop modules in the product description has few issues (does not works with characteristics)... And there isn't a possibility to define "related categories" like "related products".

I would like to place category view module on the product page, but with flexible category ID or name (defined in custom fields).

What is the best way?

Hi,

There is not really a solution for that, a workaround could be to fill the custom field value with "{loadmodule X}" where X is the id of the desired module. (this is a Joomla feature).

So before setting the custom field, you will have to create as many modules as category ID you want.
Then thanks a simple view edition, for example the view "product / show_default" display the content of your custom field thanks code like:

echo JHTML::_('content.prepare',$this->element->CUSTOMFIELD_NAME);

Hello

This is my "perfect" solution:

1. Install paid extension "Metamod Pro"

2.In "PHP" tab paste following script:
if ( $option == 'com_hikashop' and $view == 'product' and $jinput->get('layout') == 'show' ) {
$sql = "SELECT field_xxxxx FROM yyyyy_hikashop_product WHERE product_id = " . $jinput->get('cid');
$db->setQuery($sql);
return $db->loadResult();
}

field_xxxxx: "Custom field" for "products" where I may configure "ModID1,ModID2, ..."

This shows all configured modules for one HikaShop product.
