Mini cart href

When using the mini cart, the anchor href is <?php echo hikashop::completeLink('checkout'.$url_itemid); ?>, which ends up being mysite/component/hikashop/checkout.html

This is causing me a bit of trouble because I am using a separate template for checkout.html. This was accomplished by adding a checkout link to a hidden menu and selecting that menu item when assigning the template.

That works if the URL is mysite/checkout.html, but not with mysite/component/hikashop/checkout.html

Is there a better way to do this?

I changed the anchor href to just "/checkout.html", which works OK until the user clicks on a product from with in the check out cart page. At this point the URL should be "mysite/component/hikashop/product/show/cid-2.html", but instead becomes "mysite/checkout/product/show/cid-2.html"

I'm not sure if it is an SEF issue or a hikashop issue. It worked OK in an earlier version of Hikashop, but at that point a form was being used to submit the min cart and not just an anchor. I was then able to use this, "<a href="#" onclick="document.hikashop_cart_form.submit(); return false" class="hikashop_product_price">"

What would solve it, is if my Checkout menu item would link to "mysite/component/hikashop/checkout.html" instead of "mysite/checkout.html," but I'm not sure how to make that happen, or if it is even possible.

I'm just not sure how to proceed.

Using a direct link as a URL menu type isn't working with the template assignment. Only the checkout internal link is being assigned the different template.

Is there a way within my template index file to sniff out if the user is in the checkout process?

I've done similar things to see if a user is logged in or not.

There is probably another way to do this, but here is what I did...

I added this to my template index.php file:

<?php $u =& JURI::current();
if (strstr($u, 'checkout')){do stuff};?>



I needed to do this, because I'm using the Joomla login module, not the Hikashop login. However, I only want the login module to show during the checkout process.

This has got me going again.

Sorry nicolas,

its about the url when you use a shopping cart module when people click the proceed to check out button you get this url

mysite/component/hikashop/checkout.html

i need to be able to point this to a proper page in the menu so i can attach and remove modules...

cheers,
dan.
