Hey there,

I'm creating a webpage with Joomla and Hikashop.
Here is my idea:
There are three modules, the first one is in Joomla the Module 'left', right next to it is the post area of the articles in joomla and below both of them is another Module where all the products (listing) are. This module3 has got the width of the two modules above. Now, when I click on a product in module3, the Product and its description & picture is displayed in the post area 'module2'.
So in module2 is the small picture (when you click on it, it will be shown it its real size) and the description.
My Question now is, if it's possible to put the small picture in the post area (module2) into the module1? (Maybe by changing the php files?)
The Picture in the 'description area' is to small and it should be in the first module in a size I want to select.
I hope you can understand my idea and sorry for some mistakes, I'm not a native english-speaker.

Hi,

It's not possible with just options in Hikashop. First, it's not possible to display a product page in a module. Second, it's not possible to display the image of a product in another module. You would have to create specific modules for that.

Isn't it possible to go into the Code and put the image position in another block or something like that?

It is yes. You can go in the menu Display->Views and edit the file show of the view product where the product page is generated. There you can modify the code to suits your needs.

First of all thanks for your answer,
I tried to find the file, but I couldn't.
Is this one the right: Hikashop -> config -> Display -> Views -> products - show?

I've found a part in the code which belongs to the image and its margin:

if(!empty($this->element->images)){
$image = reset($this->element->images);
echo $this->image->display($image->file_path,true,$image->file_name,'id="hikashop_main_image" style="margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;display:inline-block;vertical-align:middle"','id="hikashop_main_image_link"');
?>



But I don't get it where it says to which module it belongs.
Please help,

Greetings,

David

That view is used when displaying the product page via the url: yourwebsite.com/index.php?option=com_hik...=show&product_id=XXX
It's not related to modules as it will display on the component area of your template.

Yeah, I mean that Image, when you click on the Produkt ( not the images of the whole list ).
Can I put it in another module with this file (product - show)? And where can I see in the code to what module it belongs?

I said in my first post that there is no module at the moment to display a product page. The product page is only displayed on the component area of your template.
If you want to display it in a module, you will have to create a module for that which is not easy to say the least.
