I was wandering if someone could give me some direction on how to achieve a menu like the "CATEGORIES OF PRODUCTS" menu on the hikashop demo site.
I appologies if this has been explained somewhere, I couldn't find it.
I managed to have my hikashop_module to be as a menu and list categories as submenus but it's all as a static list. I would like the menu to slide out like on the demo site or as suckerfish menu. I see that on the demo site's menu there are divs with the following classes
class="pane-sliders", class="panel", class="title jpane-toggler-down"...
what would be the best way to do this?
- should I modify the administrator>components>com_hikashop>helpers>module.php file? (but then it will affect all my mod_hikashop)
- is there a way to do this using module chrome overwrite?
- or some other better way??

Thanks

The categories "menu" slider on the left column of our demo website is an instance of the hikashop content module.
It's dynamic. If you add a category, it will appear in the display automatically.

There is a documentation there on how to create a category listing module with HikaShop:
www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentatio...ml#categories_module

Then, for the hikashop options of the module, you can look at them on our demo website's backend once logged in:

Thank you for the quick reply. I see, i had the "Type of layout" on Div instead of List, in the content module settings.
however, it only shows the first level of submenu. I have some menu items (categories) with 3 sub-menu levels/ categories. ideally I'd like a suckerfish type menu display.
I just want the customers to be able to access any category/sub-category from the home page, buy simply choosing it from this menu (content module). what do you suggest?

As you can see on our demo website, the module only handle 2 levels of categories.
If you see only one level, it means that you didn't configure all the options like on our demo website.
If you really need more than 2 levels of categories, the only solution for now is to create one menu per category in the joomla menu manager and use a standard joomla menu module which allows you to do that for menus. Otherwise, you can also code such module for HikaShop but you will need a strong grasp of HTML/CSS/JS/PHP to do that.

Thank you for your help Nicolas, I will try to code a menu that pulls all the categories and sub-categories dynamically.
and again thanks to you and your team for HikaShop.
