Responsive Hikashop

Hi
Wondering if there are any plans to make Hikashop work in with responsive templates so that Hikashop will adapt to smart phones and tablets. My template is a responsive one but Hikashop is not good for those with smart phones, and is only just ok when viewed on a 7 inch tablet (haven't tried a 10 inch as yet).
Cheers

I'll have a look when I get time and the website live. From a quick glance it looks like its the tables that are causing problems. Might be just a case of using percentages instead of fixed width - not sure.

Responsive is getting very big out there now. Most of the good template designers are making them.

I think that we'll come to it yes.
For now, the demand is quite low for "responsive" design so we are still focused on features in HikaShop like you will see in next release, but you should already be able to do a lot with templates options to display HikaShop pages properly on your website. That depends actually on the template...

The "Quite low demand for responsive design" has now changed to a must. All sites in my orderbook just has to be responsive. People don't want a site that do not work with almost half of all webtrafic. So whats the situation? Is Hikashop a good webshop in a world that has become 100% responsive?

Haven't had a chance to see if I can make Hikashop responsive for my site - no time - but this is important. There is no way I would look at creating a website now or using a template that is not responsive. You have lost a large chunk of customers by not making things user friendly for smart phones and tabs.

Are any of the Joomla shops responsive?

Gavick have successfully made responsive templates for Virtuemart demo.gavick.com/joomla16/jun2012/

Thanks Nicolas. I'll try an adaptation of the Gavick template to Hikashop.

Hi - It's interesting to see there's going to be a responsive HikaShop in the near future. I am currently developing a Joomla 2.5 site with Hika Shop for a customer and will probably be using a responsive template (not sure which one yet).

Does anyone know if the responsive element of HikaShop will work regardless of what template is used for Joomla, responsive or not?

Many thanks,
Mark

There are templates now for Joomla 2.5 that use the Twitter Bootstrap library, so would it be possible for Hikashop to utilise this in Joomla 2.5 f the template is using the library already?

I agree with the comments above - responsive design is a must now.

For Joomla 2.5, I use Warp6 + HikaShop 2.0. And it's very very easy to create ideal full responsive site/shop, if you know a little bit Warp 6. But the use of frameworks in Joomla 3.0+, such as Warp 6 + HikaShop 2.0, gives a lot of CSS bugs. Therefore, developers need to create a function in HikaShop, use boostrap or not.

For example, for Joomla!3.0 + Warp6 + HikaShop2.0, paste code in
/templates/yoo_master/layouts/template.config.php in line 12
after
include($this->path('layouts:template.config.php'));
insert code:

// Load Bootstrap css
JHtmlBootstrap::loadCss($includeMaincss = true, $this->direction);
// Add JavaScript Frameworks
JHtml::_('bootstrap.framework');

Hi, eyescream!

It's a long story, it's easier to show. Well, if there is a little patience, I'll post later you a responsive template yoo_master (Warp6) for HikaShop. As well as working on integration with Widgetkit .
A little patience.

p.s. Sorry for bad english

Hi Viocassel,

It's kind !!

For now, i've installed and modified Micasa template, and my hikashow is set for 1 columndisplay (like that it's ok on smartphones)
Because i've just 6 products to show not more
My preference would be a 3 columns and to be responsive with 1 column on smartphones.

Thanks, I can be patient

Don't worry for your english, i'm French and understand you perfectly

Any update on this ?

I use Joomla 2.5.8, Hikashop business, and Yootheme nano2 template(Warp6

I need my online store to be responsive as well so it looks good on Ipad and Iphone !

For Joomla 3.0 it's responsive automatically without doing anything since HikaShop 2.0.

I don't know where @viocassel is with his proposal.
