I want my checkout pages to appear on the full width of a page, i have managed to achieve it by using a forced menu item with no side modules...

Only problem is, if a user decides to click on one of the items selected to purchase to have a second look they get a screen which only shows the product component with out any navigation...

Any idea of a work around (eg can the product details be forced into a new popup window)... or can I not use full screen for checkout as the site relies on side modules for navigation and layout when a user views a product...

Thanks

One easy solution is to remove the link to the product page in the cart.
You can do that in the file "cart" of the view "checkout" via the menu Display->Views by changing the line:
<a href="<?php echo hikashop_completeLink('product&task=show&cid='.$row->product_id.$url_itemid);?>" ><?php echo $row->product_name; ?></a>

to:
<?php echo $row->product_name; ?>


Otherwise, you would have to change the $url_itemid variable so that it uses the of of your products listing menu but it's a little bit more complicated.

How complicated is the second alternative of changing the $url_itemid variable.

I dont normally have a problem following code once I understand the structure...

You could try to replace $url_itemid by '&Itemid=99' (with the quotes). If 99 doesn't work, please try with the id of one of your hikashop menu.

Appreciate the response... :-)

I have a bsc(hons) in computing but am new to cms systems, first to admit in computing you never stop learning...

I an gradually pulling apart the pieces of the jigsaw that a cms system (eg joomla) is comprised of and how it works...

Can you recommend an article, paper or flow chart that steps through the structure and incorporation of the different components and programming languages...

Thanks

Thanks
