-- HikaShop version -- : 4.2.3

How do I display instances of Hikashop content module with content type category in Tabs? Most Tab modules available like SJ-Ajax Tabs rush to display products but that is crap if u operate a big website like amazon. Its better to show categories so users easily identify where to go and browse through categories to find products. I have tried some plugins/modules that claim to display joomla content in Tabs but they seem not to work for Hikashop content.
Eg I want to have 3 instances of the module displayed under "Computers & Office Supplies" on this home page crazydealsug.com/ to be displayed in Tabs where each Tab has categories from a major category and you can click through the sub-categories to reach the products. I have looked around Hikashop but no such functionality seems to exist; is there something small I dont get? Any suggestions please. Thank You

Hi,

You should be able to do it with:
extensions.joomla.org/extension/tabs/
and:
extensions.joomla.org/extension/modules-anywhere/
So basically, first, you create one instance of the HikaShop content module for each main category and in each, you set the "main category" setting to the corresponding category. And you configure the module to display in an unused position.
Then, you configure an HTML module or a Joomla articles with the tab tags and the module tags so that each module displays instead the corresponding tab.

THANK YOU NICHOLAS. Perfect it works; I cant imagine how much time and money I wasted buying things that didn't work yet the all free "Modules Anywhere" just clicked right away. It is even so handy when you are using SP Page builder.
