Display Variant Name instead of Main Product Name

Hi,

I am trying to display the product's variant name instead of the main product name for products with variants.

I have tried changing product/show_default.php:

<span id="hikashop_product_name_main" class="hikashop_product_name_main">
<?php
if (hikashop_getCID('product_id')!=$this->element->product_id && isset ($this->element->main->product_name))
//echo $this->element->main->product_name;
echo $variant->product_name;
else
echo $this->element->product_name;
?>
</span>

Thanks nicolas - it's working great!

I also adjusted checkout/show_block_cart.php, cart/show.php and product/cart.php to make it look the same way:

echo $product->product_name;

if(empty($product->characteristics_text)) {
echo $product->product_name;
}
else {
echo $product->characteristics_text;
}

Hello,

since constant maintenance or making a plugin just for this aren't options, I used CSS to hide the variant name in these two cases. Not great, but it will do.

Concerning links: I was talking about the URL that is generated and stuck to product titles (for example in the cart/during checkout) or to search results. I am using the Joomla SmartSearch Extension.

I fixed these for the links generated by Hika by removing the product code from the Canonical URL. SmartSearch results still have this issue though.

Hika generated link (this always links to the main product, even from a variant in the cart):

SmartSearch generated link (links to the variant, which is probably where the issue arises):
