i have a cart selling different pound ranges of turkey 10-12, 14-16 etc

the main name of the product is say

joes turkeys (3.99lb)

we didnt want the variations to show with the name because then you come into a page that says:
joes turkeys (3.99lb) - 8-10lb

which is confusing since there are many size options. so i named each variant "joes turkeys (3.99lb)"
so when you pick a variant it always says that.

BUT then when you go to the cart it doesnt show which variant the person chose.
is there a way to grab that info in the cart?

thanks, Liz

so if i turn on add characteristic to title .. that passes the value to the cart and then i can hide the charactersitic in the name on the product page with CSS. BUT there is a : in the name...
joes turkeys: characteristic.

where can i edit that colon out??
thanks!

Indeed you found the solution.
For the : at the end, the only solution for now if you don't want it is to change the code:
$variant->product_name = $variant->main_product_name.': <span class="hikashop_product_variant_subname">'.$variant->characteristics_text.'</span>';
to:
$variant->product_name = $variant->main_product_name.': <span class="hikashop_product_variant_subname">'.$variant->characteristics_text.'</span>';
in the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/product.php

We'll look at a solution to avoid modifying directly the file for next release.

Hello Nicolas,

This "problem" seems to be remaining. Indeed the code is the same line 1051 and I see no solution but removing manually the ":" in product.php.
Unfortunatly, I guess that next Hikashop update will remove this hack...

Can't you add a language string for the separator instead of the colon ?

Thank's in advance for your attention.

Hi,

If you edit the view product in HikaShop > Display > Views, then you will not lose your changes when updating.
But I keep in mind your need.

Hi Xavier,

Could you please tell me the exact name of the view you're talking about, because I can't find it.
Thanks in advance.

The view is "product / show_default" but there is no more ":" to separate the main name and the characteristic.

Xavier,

Je ne suis pas sûr que nous nous comprenions bien.

Vous dîtes que les deux points n'existent plus dans la vue que vous me suggérez d'éditer.

Pourtant, ces deux points existent bien en front end dans la vue panier si je ne les supprime pas dans le fichier administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/product.php
Est-il possible d'overrider cette vue ? Et dans le cas contraire, j'en reviens à ma suggestion de départ, d'intégrer une variable langue à la place des deux points en dur dans une future version d'Hikashop.

Hi,

I modified the class product like Nicolas has suggested.
Here's the code

$separator = JText::_('HIKA_VARIANT_SEPARATOR');
if($separator == 'HIKA_VARIANT_SEPARATOR')
	$separator = ': ';
$variant->product_name = $variant->main_product_name.'<span class="hikashop_product_variant_subname">'.$separator.$variant->characteristics_text.'</span>';
This modification would be include in the next package of HikaShop.
