How does Hikashop work for mobile phones?

i guess it will be this week then

I'm new to Hikashop and very interested in the Mobile Phone option.

Has any progress been made in regards to this?

Thanks

y, this is what i am waiting as well, ....this is a must, because android tablets these days are almost in every household

I've just finished a site www.cedarwindowsonline.com.au which has a responsive template and Hikashop works very well on android phones with this. The only issue is related to image sizes which results in a very minor alignment problem.

If you could provide some quick work around for the product display boxes which are currently set to scale to 32% of the screen size, perhaps a set pixel width that would work for the iPhone that would be great. I really need a solution and have invested in your product and am trying to use it with a dynamic template.

Maybe offer an option to make product boxes the width of the iphone screen.

I need your help please.

Thanks.

it has been quite a while ......any latest news regarding this subject?

My experience has been that Verson 2.0 combined with a good responsive template (try any of the Bootstrap based templates from www.joostrap.com for example) works well on mobiles.

Indeed the last version of Hikashop now use Bootstrap and is responsive on the back and front end!

Sorry I'm trying the last bussiness version 2.1.0, but it doesn't. Should I configure some things?

what if i use responsive template which doesn't use bootstrap?

to bad, because we non-programmers are in the same situation again, nothing new for us, considering vast majority will still continue to use joomla2.5

for now you should only be compatible with joomla2.5 as a priority, since joomla3.0 isn't recommended for production, this is not said by me, rather by joomla.org them self, as they stated they don't recommend joomla3.0, but you force it.....i see this a big minus for hikashop

from my point of view, the minus is conditional usage of responsive feature only if bootstrap is present, not everyone uses bootstrap, .....however regarding responsive behavior, hikashop should have independent css code for responsive behavior, because after all, "responsive" it is only behavior that reacts on user resolution......


my two cents

The issue of compatibility here is really about what the template can do. Joomla 2.5 itself is not responsive. There are various template developers who have developed responsive (many are actually only "semi" responsive) templates, some using Bootstrap and some using their own framework. It is unreasonable to expect Hikashop developers to try to be compatible with every new framework that pops up as these are effectively forks from the Joomla path. Given that Joomla has adopted Bootstrap as the future path and Joomla 3.5 production version is only months away it is really up to template developers to make their templates compatible with that path.

An ecommerce extension like Hikashop is a massive project in its own right. I have used another ecommerce extension (Tienda) that tried to be everything to everyone only to bog the project down with excessive and buggy code. That project has now collapsed and left website developers like me many thousands of dollars out of pocket, having to redevelop all of our clients sites. I for one an very happy that Hikashop is focusing on core Joomla compatibility.

Having recently had the misfortune to inherit a Virtuemart website project I can attest that Hikashop is without doubt the best ecommerce solution for Joomla bar none and more and more template developers will be developing specifically for Hikashop compatibility, which is the way it should be, not the other way around.
