Hi

I am accessing the product information from another component to display in a scroller with certain effects not available on the standard one.

I have successfully got the product name and image loading, but wanted to know where to get the best code to use for fetching the price, which takes into account the currency and discounts.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

If you want to load an HikaShop product, the best is to use the HikaShop product class.

$productClass = hikashop_get('class.product');
$product = $productClass->get($product_id);
It will load the values from the different tables (product, product_price, etc).

The line $productClass = hikashop_get('class.product'); crashes the page.

Of course you need to initialize HikaShop before calling HikaShop functions.
You can initialize HikaShop with that line of code:

if(!include_once(rtrim(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR,DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'components'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'com_hikashop'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'helpers'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'helper.php')) return true;
