Module category list gives 404 errors?

Hi setup a content module, put it in position 5, configured it like below.

Hi bluetonguedesigns,

Try to edit the file: "category / listing_list.php" in HikaShop > Display > Views.

And replace the line:

$link = hikashop_completeLink('category&task=listing&cid='.$row->category_id.'&name='.$row->alias.$this->menu_id);

$link = hikashop_completeLink('categories/category&cid='.$row->category_id.'&name='.$row->alias.$this->menu_id);

Hi, I found 3 copies of that line, and replaced them all, but it sill gives a 404 error

The "Wines" category link generates a link of...

index.php/categories/category/13-wines.html

Which still generates a 404.

When it does work, is the menu supposed to open and display the sub categories under Wines like a kind of tree view?

using the full business edition.

How was that accordion version in the demo store created?

Cheers

Try to disable the SEF in Joomla > Global configuration.
I think it will resolve your problem.

You can use the accordion version with the parameter: "Show sub categories" > "All direct sub categories" in the module edtion.

Hi, thanks, it does resolve the issue, but makes the site very unfriendly to google which is pretty important to these guys. Ideas on how to retain the SEF urls?

I got the accordian version working, a couple of questions...

How do I re-style that? it has boxes around it which I would prefer to loose.
The sub categories when they get exposed, don't just list one under each other, they try to fill the available width so menu items can end up 2 and 3 across, I need them just going down the page.
Top level categories, that don't have a sub category, don't do anything when clicked on, are they not supposed to display everything in that category inc sub categories?

Cheers

Hi, I found the option to enable links on the top level categories in the Accordion menu, sub categories link fine without SEF, main give 404's. I removed the suggested code to test that, no difference.

The main without SEF and with the original code return 404 ?

To re-style the accordion, you can use Firebug to see which classes are to edit, to remove the boxes, try to edit the class "panel".
To do this, go in HikaShop > Configuration > Display and edit the front-end css file.

Hi bluetonguedesigns,

You need to set the "menu" option in your module's hikashop options.
