Inconsistences in newly created Categories

I am adding 5 new categories to our Product Catalogue. But the product displays in the new Categories are different from the those in the original 5 categories even though the Category setting are the same and they have the same parent category.

The problem is with the Characteristics display. It is set to Table in Configuration/Display but they show as "drop down" in the new Catagories. If I change the setting from Table to Radio, it changes the characteristics display in the original 5 categories but not in the new categories.

I've been fighting this for a couple of days now, but have not got anywhere.

Please can you help, I need to put the new categories on the Production site before Tuesday.

I am also have problems with thumbnail display on some pages
www.potluckceramics.ca/potluck2/index.ph...&category_pathway=31
The thumbnail is not showing, but the image itself shows when the placeholder is clicked. I have recrreated the thumbnails a couple of times, but that did not solved the problem/

Many thanks

Jim

Many thanks, Nicolas.

The customization of the View /Product/show file was to add this text

<div style="color: #000000; ">
Please click on image<br>for larger version
</div>

But the new file is very different from the earlier file and my attempts to add this code in the right position have not work. Please could you tell me where I should add this code?

Also, is there any way to have the characteristics display use radio buttons for a 1 characteristics product and table display for 2 characteristics?

You would have to change the line:
if($characteristic_display!='radio'){

to:
if($characteristic_display=='dropdown'){

in the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/types/characteristic.php

Thanks, Nicolas.
There is no $characteristic_display variable in the characteristic.php file.


ADDENDUM Tuesday Nov 13
I just reinstalled Version 2.0 of Hikashop because I ran into some syntax errors and when I looked again at the characteristic.php file I did find your code. (Odd - because I had done a search for your code string previously and did not find it!)

I made the changes and all is fine now.
