Different Category View

Hello,

First of all, my shop is up and running, bringing much more revenue than the previous one! Thanks for the nice component!

I am now polishing some views and I do need to have different layouts for "brands listing" and "product listing".

What I need is to have <products list> ABOVE and <category description> BELOW for my shop. However, I need to have vice versa: <products list> BELOW and <category description> ABOVE for brands.

I can see the view named CATEGORY / LISTING.PHP. In that view I can change the secuence of <products list> and <category description> with my minimum knowledge of PHP. However, if I change it, the change is applied to ALL my categories.
Is there a possibility to have a reverse view for some categories?

Thanks.

Nicolas, thanks for your nice and quick support (as always). I will try that solution.

I believe the best solution is to have two category descriptions at the backend: DESCRIPTION-1 on the top and DESCRIPTION-2 on the bottom. Such solution will allow to easily put text either on top or on bottom or both.

I think I will be unable to code that without hacking main code, because I will need to introduce a new table in database? (And I do not want to hack core component of Hikashop.)

Have a good week!

Hi Jerome,

That really works!!

Now, when I edit a category, I have an extra text field on the right.
However, that text field is not using my default editor (CodeMirror), but a simple textbox.
In other words, if I press ENTER key in that field, it will actually insert <BR /> teg.

Is there any way I can ibnstruct it to use my default editor?

I understand the following piece fo code is responsible:

                    <?php $onWhat='onchange'; if($oneExtraField->field_type=='radio') $onWhat='onclick'; ?>
                    <?php echo $this->fieldsClass->display($oneExtraField,$this->element->$fieldName,'data[category]['.$fieldName.']',false,' '.$onWhat.'="hikashopToggleFields(this.value,\''.$fieldName.'\',\'category\',0);"'); ?>

                    <?php 
                       $this->editor->content = @$this->element->descbottom;
                       echo $this->editor->display();
                    ?>

Hi Jerome,

Thanks for your quick respond. I have tried to modify the code as per your advice, but the behaviour of my system has not changed at all.

My current code is like this:

                    <?php
                       $this->editor->name = 'descbottom';
                       $this->editor->content = @$this->element->descbottom;
                       echo "--".$this->editor->name."--";                    
                       echo $this->editor->display();
                    ?>

It does not work for ma as well due to lack of my software engineering knowledge (actually zero level).

However, I have created a workaround using "if" condition, as recommended by Jerome. That basically fits my needs. Not a perfect solution, but that is enough for the time being.

Thanks for your support!
