Hello there,

Do you know if there's a way to display categories for each product on Product Listing page?

For example, on my localhost Hikashop, there's a Test Product has several categories: Product Category, Men, and Women. So, on Product Listing, I want to see each product to display its categories.

I found a file that might be related to Product Listing, which included query.
It called: view.html.php
Location: component/com_hikashop/views/product/tml/. I'm kinda new in backend for Hikashop.

Sincerely,

Paul

Hi,

There is no option to display the categories of a product on the listing since usually you have only one category and a listing of products already bases itself on that category to display the products listing so you already know the category of all the products of the listing and they usually are the same.

So you'll indeed need to edit the view file which displays each product in order to load its categories and then display them.
First, to know which view file you need to edit and how you can edit it, I would recommend that you read this:
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/1...-display.html#layout
After that, if you're a developer, you should easily find how to get the product_id of the current product, run a MySQL query to load the categories of the product from the database and display that.
