I am adding a link to the product category in the view product / show.php .

This link is a Menu item of the type Products listing, so it is also present in Hikashop Content menus:

Alias	Type	Link
example	product	index.php?option=com_hikashop&view=product&layout=listing

So, in the view I was expecting this code to work:

JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_hikashop&view=product&layout=listing'.$url_itemid.$lang);

But this returns:

/example/product/listing

Should it return the "/product/listing", since it is unecessary?
Is there a better way of getting only "/example" than doing something like this?

preg_replace('/\/product\/listing$/', '', JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_hikashop&view=product&layout=listing'.$url_itemid.$lang));

Thanks!

Hi,

That should indeed be the case if the option "Activate smaller url" of the configuration is turned on.

Maybe you can try with ctrl instead of view and task instead of layout as that's what we're normally using inside hikashop but normally it should also work with view and layout.

JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=product&task=listing'.$url_itemid.$lang);

gives the same result:

/example/product/listing

Took a quick look at /components/com_hikashop/router.php and it seems that the only menu types where the crtl/task or layout/view pairs are being unset are the category listing and product show.

So, the "/product/listing" part can only be avoided by adding:

else if($query['view']=='product' && $query['layout']=='listing'){
        unset( $query['layout'] );
        unset( $query['view'] );
}

which I won't add, at least until I further understand if I'm not ruining anything else.

Should HikaShop router better understand which menus correspond to its builded links, thus avoiding unecessary added segments?

Ok I see what you mean.

But no, if you want to have only the menu alias you should give only the menu itemid.
So I think that what you want actually is to use the code:

JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_hikashop'.$url_itemid.$lang);

Because joomla already knows that you want a products listing using the type of the menu of the itemid of the URL.

That's why the URLs of products listings don't have the product/listing part.
