-- HikaShop version -- : 4.4.0
-- Joomla version -- : 3.9.24
-- PHP version -- : 7.4.14

We have created our Brands categories exactly the same way with our products categories because we need to have only the corresponding manufacturers of each product category when creating a product.
example....

Products categories
category 1
- subcategory 1-1
- subcategory 1-2
category 2
- subcategory 2-1
- subcategory 2-2

Brands
category 1
- subcategory 1-1
- subcategory 1-2
category 2
- subcategory 2-1
- subcategory 2-2

The problem is that when we create a new product, we see the product categories as a directory tree that we can browse and select from (this is fine), but in the Brand selection we see all the categories as links (including top level categories, subcategories, everything)

How can we have the same selection method for Brands as we have for product categories?





Thank you

Hi,

In the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/types/namebox.php, you have this code near line 40:

'brand' => array(
			'class' => 'class.category',
			'name' => 'category_name',
			'mode' => 'list',
			'params' => array(
				'category_type' => 'manufacturer',
				'filters' => array(
					'c.category_depth > 1'
				),
				'key' => 'category_id',
			),
			'url' => 'category&task=findList&category_type=manufacturer',
			'options' => array(
				'tree_url' => 'category&task=getTree&category_type=manufacturer&category_id={ID}',
				'tree_key' => '{ID}',
			),
		),
This code defines how the brands selector works. Change the mode to "tree" instead of "list" and it will display like the categories selector.

Thank you Nicolas!

This worked pretty nine for the backend.

In our case we are using both hikashop and hikamarket. Can we apply this solution somewhere so that vendors also see the "tree" mode in the brands selector when creating or editing a product (frontend)?

Forgive me for asking about hikamarket on a hikashop thread, but i really do not know which component this question is related to.

Hello,

You can try the same patch but for the "administrator/components/com_hikamarket/types/namebox.php" file instead.
