Is it posible to use loadposition ( docs.joomla.org/How_do_you_put_a_module_inside_an_article%3F ) in a hikashop view?

No. The loadposition plugin of joomla only works in specifically design areas like an article, the description of a product or a category, etc.

If you want to load a module anywhere on your website, you should use the extension called modules anywhere which does exactly that:
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/core-en...embed-a-include/6402

Hi Nicholas - I'm attempting to place a hikashop content module (Related Products) inside a Joomla Article, using {loadposition ????} .. The module is not displaying. I decided to bring this issue to you because it actually involves another issue which, if resolved, would ideally not require load position at all.

The main issue is the need for a Related Product display when specific JOOMLA ARTICLES (opposed to Hikashop Product Items) are displayed. Because, we have both Fine Art, and products associated with those arts, on our site. It appears that the hikashop related product module does not allow for selecting Joomla Article Content categories as triggers for its substance. Our goal is to write the content for the Artwork(s) themselves, and allow the user to go to related merchandise without confusion when they see the product description of the similar-image in the store-view.

First question: Is there some method or module which can act like Related Products, but specifically, show products which relate to Joomla Content Articles or Categories? Every google search I do shows nothing but the usual related-product-module to Hikashop Products. No help.

Second: Does {loadposition} work with the Related Content Module INSIDE of a Joomla Article? Asking so maybe the answer, if no, will save us some trouble shooting time.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

The "related products" module display the product related to a displayed HikaShop product.
It has not been design to display related products for a joomla article because it's not possible to link a joomla article with products.
The product related is the information that you store in the product configuration ; so it is really something inside HikaShop.

I will more recommend you to display a classical product listing module for different HikaShop categories.
You can use hidden categories (a unpublished category) in order to regroup several products together and have the possibility to display them in a same product listing module.

The other solution if you really want to link products with article is to create your own product listing module which will display a product listing for a specific HikaShop category depending the article you're currently displaying.
