This Module setup is confusing as hell??????

Hi all,

Again VERY new to Hika Shop. I have the products set up and categories all woring fine. What I need to do is now set up the links to the store. I set up a main link on the top menu which then in the admin area says I have to set up a module for the categoires to show products somewhere or other, By the time I'm finished I have no idea where I am in the Admin area.

When I finally get something showing on the front end, the links dont go where they are supposed to go and I still cant navigate back and forth through the store.###SOLVED### There is an issue here with using SEF URLS on the Joomla Global Configuration.

Also, How can I get the modules to stay visible throughout the store only?? They all disappear when I click on the links toi the product, thus destroying the navigation

Is there somewhere a tutorial that can step me through how to:

Set up a list of Categories on the main page of the store that link to subcategories and product, WHILE STILL holding the main categories at the top of the page. Alternatively having a module with the main categories in the left column?

Like I said, being sent to page after page of settings is so confusing, especially when you don't know what the settings are and what they will do to your site.

This is a war stopper for me. If I can't figure this out, then I have to look elsewhere and I REALLY don't want to have to.

Any help here would be awesome
