Dear People,

update done to newest hikashop - same problem

Hey Nicolas,

Thanks for your mesage. I have create a ticket for them. I hope i get fast response. After reply i will answer the answer overhere. Thanks for your time You are coming to Holland i see?

Kind regards,
William

I have write done 2 tickets and no reply yet. Is it hard to reach them?

Hi,

No idea, sorry.

Hi all,

same issue on my website.
I also purchased SJ Mini Cart Pro and without any customization it shows the result attached.
In case a product does have characteristics the product will be displayed twice:
- One with a quantity of 0
- Another one with the chosen quantity but with characteristics in the product description mentioned 3 times

The support is poor. Their forum is nearly unsupported. You can raise a ticket and most times you don´t get a reply and if you get one the only answer is "please provide your admin details". Some admins may have their problems in providing their account (me as well).

Also the link to the pictures is not working (although located in the default folder) and the prices are displayed without tax. At least for the last issue you can find a solution in the forum.
The module itself is simple and quite good. But it does not work.

I would expect that Hikashop comes with such a feature in the basic configartion or as a separate module that can be purchased.
I also would ask you not to promote this module (it´s mentioned in the integration list as part of your documentation) as long as it does not work in the standard configuration and the service is that poor as described by many users.

Maybe someone in this forum can give some answers to the issues above.
I really appreciate all hints!
Thanks.

Just to complete the story of errors with this module:
- If you click on a products' link in the mini cart or on its' picture it leads you to nowhere as the a "0" will be attached to the link of the product automatically
- On all product listing pages the mouse over event does not work. So if the user moves the mouse to the mini cart it does not slide in.
Very poor situation in case the only checkout button is located in the slide in section of the mini cart...

Hi Nicolas,

thanks for your intervention. I also hope that this could be solved somehow because the Mini Cart itself seems to be a good option and it´s comfortable to customize.

I found out today that the characteristics will not be displayed in the Mini Cart three times in case the Hikashop option "Append characteristics value to the product name" is turned off (see attachment). But the rest of the errors retain.

I also tried the mtense extension. This module does not seem to be developed any longer. See this post from Aaron dated September 2014:

Unfortunately, I am very behind on the latest versions. I had hoped they would add this functionality into the product. Anyway, I will be upgrading this fall. I will add comments here when I have a version that works with the latest version. Cheers.

The mtense extension also causes an error during the installation (see attachment). So it seems right now there is nothing really working available for Hikashop.

Anyway I really would appreciate if you would integrate such a Mini Cart option in the Hikashop configuration or as a separate module to be purchased as an option. I guess you are one of the developers that take their job more serious than others.

Thanks.

Tru! I like the Samen idee of Cart in hikashop as man component. I reqoust me money back but paypal doesnt allow it. No support no nice cart with nice vat prices or normal showup.

Any news?

Seems you are experiencing the same like many users before.
One more reason you should think about to add such a module to Hika by default

I now got the solution regarding the issue that products with charakteristics will be diplayed twice:

In the downloadfolder there are two different files:
mod_sj_mini_cart_pro_for_hikashop_j3x-res_v1.0.0
and
mod_sj_hk_minicart_pro_j3x_v1.0.1

Although the second file is not titled "for hikashop" you need to use this file to get rid of the error that products with characteristics will be displayed twice. There have been some changes made in the file helper.php.
Simple issue but I guess many users will have the same problem as no one expects that the second file will be the right one to install for hikashop due to the missing naming.

Hey Nicolas,

I'm curious about the status of the cart of HikaShop. Anny progress to create this feature into Hikashop?

Kind regards,
William
