Hello,

I'm new to Hikashop, decided to give it a try after struggling with virtuemart. Like it so far!

For my website i only need catalog mode.. I don't want people to actually order something (maybe in the future) and for the most items i dont want them to see the price.
My questions:

1) I've set the 'show price' to NO, howver, in my category, it still shows free at the products.. how/where do i remove this?

2) On your demo site, the menu hovers down, on my website every category is a link.

3) I'ver enables the breadcrumb pagination to 'top' , but it doesn't show anywhere..

4) On your demo site, for example the product page, everything is nicely arranged, with borders around it.. Where to set this?

5) Instead of a price, i would like my customers for an option: 'get more info about this product' and then they will get a contact page, automatically filled in with the product they were visiting.


Website: www.heatplus.nl

That's it for now, sorry to bother you :)

Thumbs up for Hikashop!

Regards,

Patrick

Hi,

1. Menus and modules have their own "show price" option that you can find via the menus Display->Content menus and Display->Content modules. That global option of the configuration is only used on the product page and for the default value of new menus and modules.

2. You're talking about the categories listing on the bottom left area. It's not menus. It's a categories listing module.
You can find its options there: demo.hikashop.com/administrator/index.ph...odules&task=edit&cid []=55

3. Maybe your template does not have a top position. The breadcrumb module is not something specific to HikaShop. It's a joomla module which is independent from any setting in HikaShop.

4. That comes from the CSS of the template of the demo website. If you want to have the same display, you'll have to change the CSS of your template: www.demo.hikashop.com/templates/hagane/css/template.css

5. You can do that with the option "Display a contact button on the product page" in the Display tab of the configuration in the commercial editions of HikaShop.

Thanks for the fast reply :)

However, i cant find where to change the view of the product page, and the product listing page.. I've searched the entire css you linked, but i think i've missed it.

If i'm correct, i have to change the 'frontend_custom.css' file, with the customization you've made?

Can help help me a bit more?

is there a demo of the 'contact us for more info' button with a product?
update: i've enabled the option on the demo shop, looks fine :)

Thanks again,

Patrick

Hi,

On our demo website, we didn't customize the HikaShop front end CSS. I've given you a link to the CSS file of the template of the demo website.
If you want, you can take the bits you want from it and add them to your CSS, in the front end CSS file of HikaShop for example.
For example, for the products description, you could use that CSS to have a border around it:
.hikashop_product_description_main{
background-color:#fff;
border:1px solid #ccc;
margin-bottom:10px;
margin-right:20px;
padding:10px;
}

You will need to use firebug to know what CSS you need to use to do what you want.

Hi nicolas,

I tried to find the code with firebug, but it looks like a big puzzle to me..

The code you suggested, where do i add this specifically?

i'm trying to add it to the front page css, but where should i do that?


Plus:

Is there a way to increase the other images at the product view? they are really small now..

Thanks!

Hi,

You should add it in the front end CSS file of HikaShop that you can edit via the Display tab of the configuration of HikaShop.

The mini images on the product page can be increased by changing that CSS in that file:
div#hikashop_product_left_part img.hikashop_child_image{
margin : 2px;
height:25px;
}

Thanks, works fine now :)

1) I wanted to change the size of the main_image.. But when i try to adjust the size in the configuration tab, i get the following error: (it works ok though)

Warning: file_put_contents(/heatplus.nl/public_html/media/com_hikashop/images/thumbnail_150x150/barcode.png) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /heatplus.nl/public_html/libraries/joomla/filesystem/file.php on line 359

2) Is it possible to add a 'next' and 'prev' button to the pop-up of the thumb? so that customers can scroll through the images?

3) I have several products with large names, and some with smaller names. as you can see at www.heatplus.nl/catalogus/categorie/13-herz , the boxes are not in line. Is there a way to fix this?

4) The download link is now located at the bottom of the product page. Is there a way to move this to the top-right position? And is it possible to change the link to a button?

Thanks so far!

How do i set the currency symbol (€) in front of the price, instead of behind it?

1. It means that the system could generate the thumbnail of the default image because it couldn't create the file in folder:
media/com_hikashop/images/thumbnail_150x150
Make sure that the folder exists and that the permissions allow Joomla to write files in it and you won't have the error.

2. You would have to use a shadowbox system like explained here:
www.hikashop.com/en/support/forum/4-how-...uct-pages.html#12261

3. You should force the height of the boxes with some CSS like that:
div.hikashop_subcontainer {
height: 250px;
}

4. You need to edit the file "show" of the view "product" via the menu Display->Views. There you need to move the block of code for files at the top (it starts with <div id="hikashop_product_files_main" class="hikashop_product_files_main">)

5. Go in the menu System->Currencies and edit your currency options.

Thanks again for the answers :) Hikashop really seems promising, but my site does not look exactly what i want it to be, so some more work to do before purchasing the full product.

most problem are fixed again, but:

1) When adding this code:
div.hikashop_subcontainer {
height: 250px;
}

My category menu also gets 250px buttons.. Isn't there another possibility to adjust these sizes? Or is there another code i shoulkd add for the menu items to stay the same?

2) I've managed to get the download button at the top of the page. Is it possible to have the simple link replaced by a button, specified in my joomla template?

3) The shadowbox you refered to is for joomla 1.5. I have seen other systems, like fancybox, and others.. Does it matter which one to install? And can you give support on how to enable this?
Is there a plan to inplement a system like this in hikashop? (for example Fancybox?)

4) The possibility to adjust the title of the products on the product page, with custom alignment and fonts.. Where do i do this?

1. Then, just use a CSS selector in the CSS code, like that:

.hikashop_products_listing div.hikashop_subcontainer {
height: 250px;
}

2. You would have to edit the file "show" of the view "product" and modify the code generating the link to make it into a button.

3. I had a quick look at fancybox and apparently the code from the other thread would be almost the same with rel="lightbox" instead of rel="shadowbox[GROUP1]"

4. The title on the product page can by styled with CSS like that:
.hikashop_product_name_main h1{
color: blue !important;
}
You can add that CSS in the HikaShop front end CSS file via the tab Display of the configuration.

2) Cannot get this to work, do you have a sample code for me, so i can give the download link a linked picture?

3) After adding this code, my child images don't appear anymore.. edited the code some more, but i can't get this to work..

4) After adding this code to the frontend css, nothing happens.. Tried the color red, but still nothing.. I simply want the title to be centered.

2.

It's this code:
$fileHtml = '<a class="hikashop_product_file_link" href="'.hikashop_completeLink('product&task=download&file_id='.$file->file_id).'">'.$file->file_name.'</a><br/>';

You could try that:
$fileHtml = '<input type="button" class="button" onclick="window.location=\''.hikashop_completeLink('product&task=download&file_id='.$file->file_id).'\';return false;" value="'.$file->file_name.'"/><br/>';

3. We made one override for shadowbox media player which is compatible with all joomla versions:
www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentatio...ox-media-player.html
Please use that.

4. Did you refresh your browser's cache before testing ? Did you select the custom CSS file and not the default one and then saved the configuration ?
