Landing page + Email content

Hi,

Thankyou for a fantastic product.


I have a few queries.

1.)how do I edit a 'landing page' after an action, for example:

If an order is processed and payment made, the user is directed to this page:

/index.php?option=com_hikashop&view=category&layout=listing&Itemid=72&lang=en. How can I change this to just be say, index.php?


2.)When a user registers and confirms registration they are taken to this page:

Username:
Name:
Email Address:
Password:
Confirm Password:
Back-end Language:
Front-end Language:
User Editor:
Help Site:
Time zone

I would rather they return to basket / checkout if items are present in basket, if not then index.php / catagory page?


3.) How can I change the content on an email sent to user. for example order creation confirmation. I can see the design layout in Hikashop/System/Email, but where can I edit the actual content?


4.)I have odd symbols in a number of database fields - Greece, please see attached. Although I am using Greece as an example here, it looks quite common.

1. For that page you can enter the URL you want in the "return URL" option of your payment plugin.
Excellent, thank you.

2. I suppose that you're talking about the registration which happens via joomla. If you want to change that, you will have to change that in joomla.

Ok, I will look into that.

3. If you want to change the text of the emails, you can use translation overrides:

Again, thank you,


4. That sounds like a problem of encoding format setting on your server. Please make sure that the default encoding of your server is set to UTF8 and you should not have that problem anymore.
I have checked on PHPmyAdmin and char set is UTF_General_ci - I am assuming this is correct?


5. I'm not sure about what you're talking about. Can you do a screenshot ?
Don't worry, managed to fix this.



I am trying to edit the user control panel - I would like to add remove items from this but cannot find where this is? As default you have:
Edit your account information Manage your addresses View your orders Show the carts Show the wishlists Access to the affiliate program

Where do I find this in the back end?


Thanks
A

4. I'm talking about you web server (Apache or Nginx or IIS) settings, not PHPMyAdmin or MySQL.
I included the following line in my .htaccess file : 'AddDefaultCharset UTF-8' - But this made no difference? Any ideas?


6. You can edit the file "cpanel" of the view "user" via the menu Display->Views and modify the $this->buttons array for that.

    foreach($this->buttons as $oneButton){
      $url = hikashop_level($oneButton['level']) ? 'onclick="document.location.href=\''.$oneButton['link'].'\';"' : ''; ?>
      <div <?php echo $url; ?> class="icon hikashop_cpanel_icon_div">
        <a href="<?php echo hikashop_level($oneButton['level']) ? $oneButton['link'] : '#'; ?>">
          <table class="hikashop_cpanel_icon_table">
            <tr>
              <td class="hikashop_cpanel_icon_image">
                <span class="hikashop_cpanel_icon_image_span icon-48-<?php echo $oneButton['image']; ?>" title="<?php echo $oneButton['text']; ?>"> </span>
                <span class="hikashop_cpanel_button_text"><?php echo $oneButton['text']; ?></span>
              </td>
              <td>
                <div class="hikashop_cpanel_button_description">
                  <?php echo $oneButton['description']; ?>
                </div>
              </td>
            </tr>
          </table>
        </a>
      </div>
    <?php }  ?>
  </div>
</div>
<div class="clear_both"></div>

Not sure, probably when I have copy and pasted from notepad / saved as no UTF8.


How do I go about reinstalling hika without losing all settings and database values? -EDIT I have just downloaded the latest release of Hikashop - 2.1.3 and have done the below, dropping the tables and then recreating with sql (slightly edited to include my prefix. Unfortunately when I install I get a 500 error. /EDIT

Can I not just run something like:

DROP Hikashop_zone
DROP Hiksahop_zone_link

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `#__hikashop_zone` (
	`zone_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
	`zone_namekey` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
	`zone_name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
	`zone_name_english` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
	`zone_code_2` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
	`zone_code_3` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
	`zone_type` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'country',
	`zone_published` tinyint(4) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
	`zone_currency_id` int(10) unsigned DEFAULT '0',
	PRIMARY KEY (`zone_id`),
	UNIQUE KEY `zone_namekey` (`zone_namekey`),
	KEY `zone_code_3` (`zone_code_3`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM /*!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci*/;

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `#__hikashop_zone_link` (
	`zone_parent_namekey` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
	`zone_child_namekey` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
	PRIMARY KEY (`zone_parent_namekey`(150),`zone_child_namekey`(150))
) ENGINE=MyISAM /*!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci*/;

Can you give a link to the shop so that we can see that popup to look at the html ?

6. For the affiliate program, it you don't want to use it, simply unpublish the affiliate plugin.

To remove the last element of an array you can use the array_pop function of PHP.
So you would add at the beginning of the file the code:
<?php array_pop($this->buttons); ?>

<form class="form-validate" autocomplete="off" name="userform" method="post" action="index.php">

Ok thank you, I will configure through Joomla.


Any idea why my update to 2.1.3 will be error 500? What would cause this? I have changed my prefix for Database tables. from # to custom, will this affect the update?

Thanks

Hi,

Where do you have changed this prefix ?
It's possible that it affect the update. In all the files we use "#_" and Joomla replace this in all the MySLQ requests with the database prefix set in the Joomla configuration.
So if you changed the "#_" Joomla will no more change the prefix automatically.
