SEF URLs dont work

SEF URLS dont work.

It is a hikashop issue.

I remember this problem from when i worked with hikashop last time, but that was like 6 months ago.

Basically when you hover over a category menu item link the url should yoursite/category/catname but is should go like yoursite/menuitemforcategorylisting100/category/catname or something like that, that menuitemcategory listing has to be in the url for it to work correctly, but I connected everything properly and it works without SEF but not with SEF.

How do I fix that?

you can check it at www.ultranetdesign.net/hika/ admin/admin

Tried both joomla 2.5 and 2.5.4

EDIT:

I just tried again on my localhost with a new installation, and same thing, it won't work with SEF URLs, without SEF URL it works. What is the solution to this? I can't be the only one with this problem.

OK, I'll keep the rebuild in mind, thanks.

Also, any idea why the hikashop content module (basically the category listing) disappeares when you actually click on one of the categories? It's set to display on every page in the same position, and works in the normal menu but not if you click on a category.

For example click on "Swatch", cart module will be there but category listing will not?

EDIT:

I set "syncronize with currently displayed item when possible" to NO in the hikashop content module (the one that displays the category listing) and it works, BUT I also get some stuff on top of the products in the main area. I guess i could make that disappear with css, but i'd really prefer if it just worked normally. Any ideas? Admin / pass are still the same if you have time.

Hey Nicolas,

I think you misunderstood me.

The category listing, or the "Watches Catalogue" menu on my site, disappears when you click on a category, even though it's set to display in the same position on every page.

Hikashop cart module (my cart) is always there, but the category listing menu disappears. Just click on any of the categories in teh Watches Catalogue and you will it won't be there when it displays the products from that category.

If i set synronize to "no" it works normally (i mean the category menu is alwys there) but i also get stuff in my maincontent area as well.

Just click on anything in watvhes catalogue and you'll see it disappears.

Thanks for helping.

If you simply clicked on a category on the site you'd see what happens. I guess it's easier that I upload 4 pictures than that you click once on a link.

SYNC ON:

SYNC OFF:



As you can see, with sync on (img1, img2), the category listing menu disappears when I click on a category, e.g. swatch, even though it's set to display on every page in the same position, as i already simply said.

If sync is set to OFF, the cat listing stays there when you click on a category, but I also get a different style listing of the categories in the main content area (img 3).

I set sync to NO now.

Backend access works, it's admin / admin.

Sync is set to NO now, but I think it should work normally with sync ON. Like I said, I can hide this extra category listing in main area with css, but i think it should work normally with sync on.

Solved. Thanks.\

One more thing:

If I search for swatch in the search box, I get the products nicely, but I also get a 'product category' result, and if you click on it it links to a blank page.

Can I make the search so it only searches products?

Also, if I click on a search result it opens in a new page, how do I make it open in the same page?

Perfect.
