I don't understand.
If the hr must be in the description, why not directly add it in the description and add to it a style attribute in order to define the color ?

I mean i have in my product view 4 parts top, right, left and bottom.
in top part all the width of the page is covered with the category name wich the product belongs to.
under it there is a custom <hr> with an image.
what i want is that the image changes when category changes.

So I understand that the hr and the image are added by yourself with custom code.
Could you tell us what code you're using for that ?

if you have the category data in a variable called $category, you can do like that:
if($category->category_name="My category"){
echo '<hr class="line" style="color:red;">';
}elseif($category->category_name="My second category"){
echo '<hr class="line" style="color:blue;">';
}else{
echo '<hr class="line" style="color:black;">';
}

we are very close, first i should insert the code in the show.php or in other php?
second the color of the hr is a custom image so it should be something like hr class="line1" and the line2 depending on the category.
Thank you very much

Your code is wrong.

You want to have something like that:
<div id="hikashop_product_top_part" class="hikashop_product_top_part">

<?php
foreach($this->categories as $category){
?>
<h2>
<span><?php echo $category->category_name; ?>
</span></h2><br/>


<?php if($category->category_name=="Linea Esencial"){
echo '<hr class="linea">';
}elseif($category->category_name=="Linea Equilibrante"){
echo '<hr class="linea2">';
}elseif($category->category_name=="Linea Multivitaminas"){
echo '<hr class="linea3">';
}elseif($category->category_name=="Linea Multiefectos"){
echo '<hr class="linea4">';
}elseif($category->category_name="Linea de Barros"){
echo '<hr class="linea5">';
}elseif($category->category_name=="Linea Spa Corporal"){
echo '<hr class="linea6">';
}elseif($category->category_name="Manicura & Pedicura"){
echo '<hr class="linea7">';
}elseif($category->category_name=="Linea Spa Capilar"){
echo '<hr class="linea8">';
}?>

</div>

Hi,

In the product listing view, you do not have the $category variable like in the product show view.
But you can retrieve it.

$category_id = (int)trim($this->category_selected, '_');
$category = null;
if($category_id > 0) {
  $categoryClass = hikashop_get('class.category');
  $category = $categoryClass->get($category_id);
}
And you should have your category object !

Hi,

It is displayed because it's not a simple product listing.
It come from a category listing from your menu #102 (with id 102).

Exactly like our demo website.
If you go one the home page, you would see a menu at the bottom left.
You can click on the item "Peripherals" in the "Computing" section.
It points to : demo.hikashop.com/index.php?option=com_h...ls&Itemid=78&lang=en
As you can see in the URL, it is a category listing, it display products in this category and at the top of the listing, there is the name of the category.

That is the "category listing".

Hi,

You have to edit the "category / listing" view.
At the beginning of the view, you would find the code which display the name of the category.

if($this->params->get($title) && JRequest::getVar('hikashop_front_end_main',0)){
	?>
	<<?php echo $titleType; ?>>
	<?php echo $this->params->get('page_title'); ?>
	</<?php echo $titleType; ?>>
	<?php
}

Hi,

Try with "$this->element->category_name" instead of "$category->category_name"
