HELP! the category chooser not working!

Hi,
Joomla 1.53
Hikashop 1.5.4

when we go to create a menu item to a product list of a certain category. we click to open the category choice and the modal shows and when we click on the category nothing happens.

its also weirdly defaulting to one particular one no matter what we do. enclosed is a screen shot of the modal. I also have Hika installed on a J1.7 site and when you click the category the modal closes and the category is selected. I was not sure if this worked this way in the 1.5 version or not...

any help would be appreciated.

so this may be a FF issue, I tried in Safari and it worked perfectly.

here is what i was using:
Firefox 7.0.1

also not working in chrome: 14.0.835.202

yes that it is how it should work... but it doesnt. you click and click and nothing happens. i finally got it to work in Safari. there is no way to take a screen shot of nothing happening...

thanks, Liz

hmmm ... it doesnt work for other users of my site either. i wonder if its something installed that causing a javascript conflict. will look into it thanks!

nicolas, something else strange is happening on another site. this one Joomla 1.7.
i have a link to a category product list. and no matter what i do i cant turn the border on and off or affect other display options. when i look at the menu link item it has a little lock next to it. when i do a global checkin it stays locked (i am the only user). when i click the lock it goes away only to reappear after i save the item.

any ideas??
thanks!!

ahhh i think i see thanks. i changed it to a product listing and then it did what i wanted.
thanks again for your help!!

okay another one for you.. i am trying to display a page heading on a product listing page. i have set the page display options> show page heading to yes and included a heading text. but the page has no heading on it. the browser header works but not the page header.

its not displaying either.

nicolas, here are some screen shots. alternatively, if i could figure out which template controls the main display of that page (and not the item loop) i could just stick a header in the template..

i think there is something wrong in the product/listing.php template. this code:

<div id="<?php echo $this->params->get('main_div_name');?>" class="hikashop_category_information hikashop_products_listing_main">
<?php
if(version_compare(JVERSION,'1.6','<')){
$title = 'show_page_title';
}else{
$title = 'menu_text';
}
if($this->module){
$title = 'showtitle';
}
if($this->params->get($title) && JRequest::getVar('hikashop_front_end_main',0) && (!$this->module || $this->pageInfo->elements->total)){
$name = $this->params->get('page_title');
if(($this->module)){
$name = $this->params->get('title');
}
?>
<h1>
<?php echo $name; ?>
</h1>

does not even show the h1 tags. further $name is an empty value. if i insert above the container div a head tag.. it shows it for both the main product listing and then repeats it again for the submodule section.

if i do this in the product/listing.php page:
<h1>hello world</h1>
<div id="<?php echo $this->params->get('main_div_name');?>" class="hikashop_category_information hikashop_products_listing_main">

hello world is printed at the top of the page and at the top of where the submodules should be displayed if there is one.

i dont get the whole associated module thing i was able to turn it off in safari, not FF (again i think something weird is going on there). it did not make a difference.. there is still no header appearing.

okay how do i get you the login info etc...?
