ok, works for the checkout/cart page (meaning no select state shown) but still getting an unwanted select state when returning to the shop page.

ok, works for the checkout/cart page (meaning no select state shown). Does nicely show category after selecting product from checkout page (nice!)

However, still getting an unwanted select state when returning to the main shop page (Category view page, none selected).


Edited - Actually, the wrong category (last category) is showing after selecting product from checkout page

Unfortunately, these are a lot more complex to handle as you would have to do mysql queries to load the information: the category of the current product being displayed, or the default category of the current product/category listing.

You would actually have the same problem if you had 1 menu item per category displayed by joomla with a joomla menu module.

Yes. Thanks for all the efforts, I know you've spent a bunch of time on this already.


I think my best option would be a combination of the edits you have already given me and some css. At this point that's what I'm implementing, my only problem I have is that my default shop page is showing the previously selected category state! There must be some way to clear this, and only set it if selecting a category or product.


I'm trying to figure how to pass another variable to my templates index.php page to stick to the body tags class.

something like:
<?php
$menu =& JSite::getMenu();
$active = $menu->getActive();
$params = $menu->getParams( $active->id );
$class = $params->get( 'pageclass_sfx' );
?>

<body id ="<?php echo $class ? htmlspecialchars($class) : ''; ?>" class="my_category">


I can hard code the css to work based on that. Not sure which variable exist and how to grab them though, I figure it's possible with the already generated variables being used by hikashop. I guess I would need to globalize it though?

My categories are unlikely to change, so if my shop page had <body id="shop" >and category pages/item pages were like <body id = "shop" class = "mycategory">
it would be doable to set the category menu based on that.

There is already a unique id which is set around the category listing. That is done with the line:
<div id="<?php echo $this->params->get('main_div_name');?>" class="hikashop_category_information hikashop_categories_listing_main">

in the file "listing" of the view "category" of the front end. Is that what you're talking about ?

Do you have the final listing_list.php (category) ready? I saw it was not included in the latest version of the shop.
And the above attachment listing_list-20111116 is not complete right?
