HikaShop Filter Module help!

how can i implement the way the HikaShop Filter Module works as on the demo page demo.hikashop.com im stuck !

Hi there,

Just take a look at your joomla's module and you'll see that there is a filter module already prepared for hikashop (it's named 'Search').
Just configure this module by specifying a filter (that you can create in Display>Filters) and a menu (you have to write a menu id there) and publish it.

where do i find this module? i looked in extensions -> module manager but cant see any modules called search?
Thanks

That's the place. You may not have the last version of Hikashop.
Another option is to configure directly a filter. Take a look at the documentation

ive installed the latest version, the only search i see was in the plug in manager are you sure its supposed to be in modules? The only one in modules is Hika Shop Filter module. I have enabled the search in plugins it does work but it just shows a list, i was hoping to display the images as well as on the demo page

thanks for the reply

My bad, it's the right module you're seeing.
About the display it depends of the menu you linked to the module.
This module have to be configured to display the layout you want.

thanks thats what I need help with. I want a user to enter a search variable from the home page and it then searches for products and displays the results with the images. however im having difficulty setting this up

What the menu id you specified? Try to find this module and configure it to display product the way you want.
If you need more help, please give a screenshot of your filter configuration

the menu id is what is confusing me ? what is this for? here is a screenshot

That's it. The field is empty in your case. You have to look at your menu listing (in Hikashop) and select (or create) a menu with all of your products inside and with the layout you want.
Then, Just look at the id of this menu (on the right in the menu listing) and specify this id in the filter configuration.

thanks for that i allocated the menu id but now when i try to place the module on a page doesnt appear, ive tried different templates including the default joomla ones and tried various positions but it doesnt appear. I attach a screenshots. In hika3 png the module is supposed to be in postion 4 but as you can see its not there. It is enabled as shown in hika5.png

We're have problems with this too. We just want something that functions the same way as the demo. Actually, will be very happy with the software if we can get the same result as the demo.

hi
read few topics about filter but dont find or missing answer. my problem when i publish filter it publish in content but i dont need this.I publish module only for one menu but filter show in another places of site. how to remove filter copy from content?

Hi,

To remove that you have to disable the option "Display filters" in the menu / module settings.

tnx
its possible change this setting for 80 menus at "one click" ?)

upd. system-config-display-Display filters on product listing-No

Indeed, the option in your menu / module should be set on "inherit" so changing the value in Configuration > Display > Products > "Display filters on product listing" allow you to change the value at one click.
