Hi,

HikaMarket does not accept that a product is in the root category.
It is not a category where you could/should put products.
HikaMarket makes some checks that HikaShop does not.

Sorry, it's not a bug... It is a feature

Thanks for the fast answer .
It sounds like a bug for us and our vendor however ... :)

In fact, here is the thing we want to do .
Sometimes, the vendor of the shop will create a special product for only one customer after receiving a request by email.
He will send the link by email of this product just create, and the customer will finish easily.
BUT , that product , automatically categorized in "product category" by your front component, will display that product in the root of my shop...

So everybody see that product, unlike just my customer.

So in backend of hikashop, that product would be hide , because in another category that "product cat".
Perfect for what we need.

So what's your solution for my vendor, who use hikamarket in frontend, and need to create a product only for one people, and send the link.??!
Thks in advance

Hi,

The official way (for HikaShop and HikaMarket) is to put the product is a hidden category.
Because the product will be in an unpublished category, it won't be displayed in the front-end but will be accessible for buying.

As I said in my previous post, using the root category for product is really not recommended.
The check which is made by HikaMarket will be made by HikaShop sooner or later (when the HikaMarket product edition system will be merge into the HikaShop backend)
