Showing Characteristics Drop down in Product listi

Hello, for the product listing page (I am using joomla menu, and in the menu I am putting the Hikashop Content Module, to show all the products I have.
For each product I have different Characteristics, on the individual product page I have a drop down so the user can select which characteristic to add to cart.

I would like to know if its possible to show that Characteristic drop down for every product that is listed in the Content Module product listing? So the user can just pick the characteristic and add to cart directly from product listing page. Currently the product listing page just has a button saying "choose option", i want to show the drop down in stead, and add to cart.

Thank You in advance.

Hi rockstaran,

This functionality is not yet available in HikaShop.
It imply many code modifications.

Thank you for both responses,
I thought about the custom field but that will not work since I do need to handle different prices/stock/information. Have any suggestions programmatically to accomplish this?



What if I place:
<?php
$this->setLayout('show_block_charasteristic');
echo $this->loadTemplate();
?>
In the Product Listing page so for every time the dropdown will show up?
Then I would have to figure out how to add the AddToCart button for each product instead of Choose Options.

Which file can I add the above code in? is it the listing.php file? I am using the Content Module to display the product listing

I found the file to edit, its listing_div.php
putting the code above did not produce the dropdown however, must be additional code that I need to grab from show_reversed.php. Any suggestions?
