my site is very basic with just an handful of products and therefore only one category. I like the display of the products with images and descriptions when the "type of content" is "category" in the menu options - however I would prefer if users/customers didn't have the extra step of clicking on the "category" after selecting the link to shop from my main menu. Does that make sense? If I set the "type of content" to "product", the link from the main menu takes them directly to a product listing, however the product listing only has the image, price and "add to cart" - they don't get the name or description until they click on the item.

the site is www.MontanaGrilling.com

thank you very much - the product is very solid!

It's just a matter of changing the options in your menu's hikashop options.
You can access that via the menu Display->Content menus.

Thank you. I thought I had clicked on everything possible in the "content menu". I changed the "type of content" to "product" and the "type of layout" to "table" and this produces very close to the results.

Is there a way to add the "Description" to the table view layout? I have the buttons next to "show image" and "show description" selected, but the "description" only displays after selecting a product.

Show image and show description are for the current category image and description display.
There is no option to display the description on the products listing in table layout.
If you want to do it, you need to edit the file table of the view product via the menu Display->Views and change the code of the view to display the description.
