-- url of the page with the problem -- : mdev.bgprod.co.uk/index.php/hikashop-menu-for-products-listing
-- HikaShop version -- : Essential 4.6
-- Joomla version -- : 4.1.4

Hi - I've constructed a simple shop, all good. On testing with some colleagues, they have suggested that a more obvious way of moving from the product screen to the cart would be a good idea. On some other websites, carts stay on-screen and update as new items are added I'm told.

So can I easily either: 1) set a cart to stay on screen permanently OR 2) Have the pop-ups as people 'add to cart' stay on screen OR 3) include a nice, clear link to the cart somewhere on the products display screen ?

Thanks for the advice! - Martin

Hi,

1. You can configure the HikaShop cart module, via the Joomla modules manager for that.
Note that the module's settings are numerous to configure how the module will display.

2. In the Joomla plugins manager, you can configure the HikaShop cart notification plugin settings to setup how the popup should appear and other behaviors after an add to cart event.

3. If you want to add static links inside pages displayed by HikaShop, you can create view overrides via the menu Display>Views. To find which view file is used where, you can activate the "Display view files" setting of the HikaShop configuration:

Thanks for your help, Nicolas. I've implemented the pop-up 'checkout/continue' option for the add to cart notification and it works much better.

Can I just clarify your other suggestion regarding a more permanent on-screen cart (like the one Cotswold Lavender built with HK - captures attached) - I can't seem to find any cart options for activating something like this. Are there in the 'Essential' version? Or is this within the 'Business' version upgrade or is it a Cotswold developer customisation?

Thanks for clarification - Martin

Hello,

Nicolas was speaking of using a permanent module Cart (see this documentation to learn more).
In this documentation you have a concrete example to see how to configure the cart module.

Hope this will help you to achieve this.
Regards

Aha! Many thanks, Philippe - yes that's what I need.

However, I tried a few different positions - some didn't appear on screen originally and now no changes I make with the positions function at all. Have I done something?

Or is the fact I've 3 columns of products set currently, say, ( mdev.bgprod.co.uk/index.php/hikashop-menu-for-products-listing ), meaning there is no room for the cart to appear in some places?

Thanks for any help, Martin

Hi,

No, the template will squeeze the main area to fit the sidebar if the sidebar needs to display any module.
So there must be a problem with the settings of the module if you don't see it.
It could be many things:
- the module is disabled
- the module is set to a position not used by the template
- the module's menu assignment is configured to not display on the pages
Note also that if you have some caching, you might need to clear the cache each time you change the settings of the module to see the changes on the frontend.

Many thanks, Nicolas - yes, lack of the some cart positions appears to be because they are not within the template.

I can work around using the options that do display - but, aargh, the quantity selector if higher than '1' is hidden, presumably because the font size is too big? Is there an easy solution?

- thanks, Martin

Hi,

The problem comes from the CSS of the template.
Add such CSS and it should fix the problem:

.hikashop_product_quantity_field {
    padding-left: 0px !important;
    padding-right: 0px !important;
    text-align: center;
}
