Display All Product Variants, Brand Name In Cart, User Menu

-- HikaShop version -- : 4.7.3
-- Joomla version -- : 4.3.2

Hi there,

1) If I have more than one variant for a product, when I go to the page only one is visible. The other variant only shows when I make a selection from the one that is showing. I would prefer if they are all visible. How do I do that please?

2) The Brand name does not always display in the cart. I copied the code below to, checkout > show_block_cart.php and placed it above <p class="hikashop_cart_product_name">. The Brand name only displays if the product does not have a variation, but if it has a variation the brand name does not show.

<div class="product-brand">
<?php $class = hikashop_get('class.category');
$manufacturer = $class->get($product->product_manufacturer_id);
echo $manufacturer->category_name; ?>
</div>

3) In the user account, is it possible to have the menu to remain on the left no matter what option you click on. When you click on any option the menu disappears, it would be nice if it was always in that location so it's easy to access.

Hi Nicolas,

1. Change the "Characteristics selection method" setting to "List" in the HikaShop configuration and you'll see all the variants as a list on the product page.
Please see attached what happens when I change the selection to List, it moves them in a totally different location. I'm using radio buttons, as per attached (characteristics-selection-method-radio-button.png), can I not continue to use radio buttons but have them display all characteristics.

1. Ok, I think I understand what you want to do. Change the setting I talked about back to radio and instead, turn off the "Characteristics dynamic display" setting.
OK. That's better. Thanks!

3. Thank you for your feedback. Maybe what you could have is to enable the Joomla breadcrumbs module ? It would help users to navigate back to the control panel main page, and know where they are in it.
This will do for now but hopefully the suggestion I made will be implemented at some point.

Hi Again,

How do I remove the word "Brand" from in front of the Brand Name on the detals page?

I had removed it in the language as per below, but I put it back because it also removed it from the backend.

MANUFACTURER="Brand"

This is the code I'm using to display the brand on the product details page.

<?php
if($this->config->get('manufacturer_display', 0) && !empty($this->element->product_manufacturer_id)){
$categoryClass = hikashop_get('class.category');
$manufacturer = $categoryClass->get($this->element->product_manufacturer_id);
if($manufacturer->category_published){
$menuClass = hikashop_get('class.menus');
$Itemid = $menuClass->loadAMenuItemId('manufacturer','listing');
if(empty($Itemid)){
$Itemid = $menuClass->loadAMenuItemId('','');
}
$categoryClass->addAlias($manufacturer);
echo JText::_('MANUFACTURER').''.'<a href="'.hikashop_contentLink('category&task=listing&cid='.$manufacturer->category_id.'&name='.$manufacturer->alias.'&Itemid='.$Itemid,$manufacturer).'">'.$manufacturer->category_name.'</a>';
echo "<span style='display:none;' itemprop='brand'>". $manufacturer->category_name ."</span>";
}
}
?>

Thanks!

Thank you

Hi Nicolas,

How do I add the URL that takes the user to the brand. These are the codes I have for each section:

The Cart Page:
<div class="product-brand product-brand-cart">
<?php
$class = hikashop_get('class.category');
if(!empty($product->product_parent_id)) {
$productClass = hikashop_get('class.product');
$parent = $productClass->get($product->product_parent_id);
$manufacturer = $class->get($parent->product_manufacturer_id);
} else {
$manufacturer = $class->get($product->product_manufacturer_id);
}
echo $manufacturer->category_name; ?>
</div>


The Listings Page
<!-- BRAND NAME -->
<div class="product-brand product-brand-listing">
<?php $class = hikashop_get('class.category');
$manufacturer = $class->get($this->row->product_manufacturer_id);
echo $manufacturer->category_name; ?>
</div>
<!-- END OF BRAND NAME -->

Thanks!

Hi Nicolas,

Neither worked. Did I do something wrong?

The Cart

<div class="product-brand product-brand-cart">
<?php
$class = hikashop_get('class.category');
if(!empty($product->product_parent_id)) {
$productClass = hikashop_get('class.product');
$parent = $productClass->get($product->product_parent_id);
$manufacturer = $class->get($parent->product_manufacturer_id);
} else {
$manufacturer = $class->get($product->product_manufacturer_id);
}

$menuClass = hikashop_get('class.menus');
		$Itemid = $menuClass->loadAMenuItemId('manufacturer','listing');
		if(empty($Itemid)){
			$Itemid = $menuClass->loadAMenuItemId('','');
		}
		$categoryClass->addAlias($manufacturer);
		echo '<a href="'.hikashop_contentLink('category&task=listing&cid='.$manufacturer->category_id.'&name='.$manufacturer->alias.'&Itemid='.$Itemid,$manufacturer).'">'.$manufacturer->category_name.'</a>';

 ?>
</div>

<div class="product-brand product-brand-listing">
  <?php $class = hikashop_get('class.category');
  $manufacturer = $class->get($this->row->product_manufacturer_id);
  
$menuClass = hikashop_get('class.menus');
		$Itemid = $menuClass->loadAMenuItemId('manufacturer','listing');
		if(empty($Itemid)){
			$Itemid = $menuClass->loadAMenuItemId('','');
		}
		$categoryClass->addAlias($manufacturer);
		echo '<a href="'.hikashop_contentLink('category&task=listing&cid='.$manufacturer->category_id.'&name='.$manufacturer->alias.'&Itemid='.$Itemid,$manufacturer).'">'.$manufacturer->category_name.'</a>';

  ?>
</div>

Hi Nicolas,

I've attached a screenshot of the views and where the code was (I removed it as it was causing errors).

Checkout Show Block Cart

Hi Nicolas,

I get the below error for both.
