How do I display product code in prodict listings?

Hi guys

First off; hikashop is an awesome alternative to virtuemart. Great work.

Could someone please tell me how I include the product code in product listing.

I want the following site: -
ukcctvlimited.co.uk/index.php?option=com...me-cameras&Itemid=67

To look like this: -
e-dis.net/Products/category/CCTV+Cameras...thing_/man/_nothing_

I want customers to see:
Product image, product code, and product description

I've gone through every single post in forum regarding product_code and to no joy.

Taking out following code from front-end css does not work either.
.hikashop_product_code_main{
display:none;
}

Any help would be most appreciated.

Many thanks

wow - talk about awesome customer support.

I shall action what you suggest and get back to you.

Thank you again for the super quick response.

I've been looking at product/listing_table.php for an hour now. I have zero php experience which doesn't help

I thought I'd done it, but not quite.
ukcctvlimited.co.uk/index.php?option=com...me-cameras&Itemid=67

Here is code. Am I on the right track? (additions I made are in red)

For those who come across this issue of placing product code or any other column in product listing, here is the solution. (Don't ask me how I did it, considering I know zero php)...

Hi

I'm having problems duplicating the same layout you guys helped me solve for a new product category.

The layout required looks like this (this is the layout I want): -
ukcctvlimited.co.uk/index.php?option=com...me-cameras&Itemid=67

Now, after adding products to the the next menu item; Digital Video Recorders
The layout looks like this (NOT showing products in same format as 'CCTV Cameras' menu item: -
ukcctvlimited.co.uk/index.php?option=com...range-dvrs&Itemid=68

The listing_table file in menu Display->Views is the same for both categories, yet they show different layouts for products.

If anybody could help, I'd be most grateful. I have tried all options, and I am at a loss.

Many thanks

Hi nicolas

I'm still having trouble finding the solution.

If I click on Display - content modules within 'hikashop options' the settings are same as 'cctv cameras' module which is how I want layout to look. See screenshot 1

Am I looking in the right place? Do I need to change any code?

"listing_table layout in the associated module of your new menu"
How do I do this. When hikashop options is clicked. It won't let me change Type of layout from div to table. Error message - 'The category content does not support table layout display'

Many thanks for your help.

Hi Nicolas

I've managed to fix problem. All I can say is thank you sooooooo much. You guys are the best.

PS I wish Joomla wasn't so difficult to use.

Thank you again.
