Characteristics display: Adding content at end of custom size dropdown.

-- HikaShop version -- : 3.0.1

I have managed thus far to get my page to look how i want with using a tonne of CSS (as the characteristcs php file is core and i dont want to hack this for obvious reasons).

on this page: i need to make the SIZING GUIDE (next to the size dropdown) show a popup modal with sizing information when clicked.

The problem is, that this currentlyis added with css as i cant edit the characteristics php information (as its core file).

I found people from like5 years ago on the forum and some documentation about creating an override for this (hikashop_characteristics.php), but when i copy the standard characteristics.php file into my template/html/com_hikashop folder it doesnt work.

there is also some instruction about changing $this to $obj, which i tried, but i still cannot get it to work. I am hoping you can give me a bit more basic explanation on how to get this override to work, or how i can add html code (i can create that code no problem) after this sizing dropdown box without causing issues.

Thanks.

thanks, we removed the website url we dont manage from our account, and we also updated our subscription for 2 more years to ensure support is not an issue... we also have found an urgent issue/bug with your software here: www.hikashop.com/forum/product-category-...-huge-loadtimes.html

As for this post, we managed to figure out a way to make this work with some crafty css and html, without using characteristics overrides and just using the standard show_default template override.
