Hika Shop Questions

Hi all,

I need a crash course in Hika shop so any help would be appreciated!!

* Is there any integration of Hika Cart with joomla user profiles

* When I go to views display have you built in the template override ability into your component? Does it create or read in the override files in the html directory of the template?

More questions to come

Thanks,

Mat

* How can I add a product to the cart via php or front end ajax?

Can I add to cart from the product category page?

When I click add to cart the page changes from the product to the check out page. How can I stay on the product page or go to another page?

Thanks that was quite helpful. It might not take 20 questions after all.

I have created a menu item with a product listing and I would like the add to cart button on the right not on the left. What is the best way to do this?

Also the type of item layout options don't have image, title, description .... should it?

And what image is meant to be displayed inside the image width and image height fields. My images aren't showing.

And which view should I edit to change all this? Which exact file?

How do I update the various buttons? 'Add to Cart', 'Proceed to checkout' to images?
Solved Almost.

How do I change the text of add to cart to 'buy now' or even to nothing all.

Thanks again for all the above.

* I am editing the file you suggested and making progress however I wonder to myself how can I select which image for the product I want displayed? I found this link and I know I can give images a name:
www.hikashop.com/support/forum/4-how-to/...-list-of-params.html
How can I specify the image I want to show for the product list?

* I would like to allow people to shop without registering with Joomla.

* I would like to just use the payment part of the program. Is there an easy to use function that takes an amount and a credit card and charges it?

1. Sounds like a feature idea.

2. Great. I'll do that.

3. OK.

Can I create custom fields for customers?

A: I found this under Configuration > Display > Custom Fields

So I had an issue with the cart module that I PM'd you about. I have just found out that the issue is leaving the proceed to checkout field empty ie: "" in the language file.

When it is empty the cart refreshes itself. When it has a word in there it goes to the checkout.

Is that working as intended?

Hi, I've added a Categories listing

and its great - it shows images that represent each category. When I select one of the categories I get the listing of products - also great over three columns..... but I have a problem. I need to add and ADD to cart. I cant find a way to do it in the menu... as its coming from the catgories listing... I supose I could add it to the view >>

<!-- ADD TO CART BUTTON -->
<?php
if($this->params->get('add_to_cart')){
?>
<form action="<?php echo hikashop_completeLink('product&task=updatecart'); ?>" method="post" name="hikashop_product_form_<?php echo $this->row->product_id.'_'.$this->params->get('main_div_name'); ?>"><?php
$this->ajax='';
if(!$this->config->get('ajax_add_to_cart',1)){
$this->ajax = 'return hikashopModifyQuantity(\''.$this->row->product_id.'\',field,1,\'hikashop_product_form_'.$this->row->product_id.'_'.$this->params->get('main_div_name').'\');';
}
$this->setLayout('quantity');
echo $this->loadTemplate();
?>
<input type="hidden" name="product_id" value="<?php echo $this->row->product_id; ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="add" value="1"/>
<input type="hidden" name="ctrl" value="product"/>
<input type="hidden" name="task" value="updatecart"/>
</form><?php
}?>
<!-- EO ADD TO CART BUTTON -->

If I can find a way to get around >> if($this->params->get('add_to_cart')){ (As there is no way to set this ones params) - as far as i know or is there an easier way?
