Hi all I am looking for e-commerce solution for Joomla 1.7 and Hikashop was recommended to me. I am a bit concerned as I am a novice, I would prefer starting out with a nice template that was designed to work with Hikashop. So far I haven't been able to find any, and in fact, the one place that had listed a Hikashop template in past, now says that they are no longer offering one. Without a nice template to get me started, i will probably have to pass on Hikashop for now... Can anyone recommend simple clean "fashion minded" template for Hikashop? many thanks

Scott

Hi,

Any joomla template can work with HikaShop.
It doesn't need to be "HikaShop" template to be used with HikaShop.

Hi and thanks for reply,

I thought that most ecommmerce template were designed for use with a specific ecommmerce component. For example, I have a "VirtureMart template" designed as an online store site. I assumed that the changes made to the template to make it work with VM might cause problems with other ecommerce components... am I mistaken? Since I am novice, It might be double hard to first undo VM tweeks to template before I must add Hikashop tweeks, no?

Thanks again for your support. I will look for best shopping template and attempt to test it out with Hikashop.

Only a few Joomla templates designed for use with specific e-commerce solution.
You definitely need to tweak your Joomla template for use with hikashop.
But it is very easy. But if you have troubles with html so you need to ask somebody else here.

You can use any Joomla template with HikaShop without any tweaks (except if there is a bug or some kind of incompatibility).
When a template is made for a specific extension, it usually means that some of the views of the extension are overridden by the template in order to adapt the look of the extension to the template. But you can still use any extension you want with that template.
On HikaShop's end, we tried to use CSS classes defined by default in joomla templates so that HikaShop adapts to your template. For example, the buttons in HikaShop will automatically use the styles of buttons defined in your template.

If you want to go further, you can of course customize the CSS to fit more to your template, but it's not required and not always needed.
