I am hoping I can get a link to the current Category showing at the top of the product details page, so that a viewer can just click on that to get back to a listing of product in the current category. Just seems to make sense, maybe it is already a feature but I have missed it.

Hello Gordon,

Why don't you setup the menu items to link to the category pages in EShop? Then use Breadcrumb module to display the link?

Sincerely, Giang

Ah. of course. If you had done this within eShop it would have just replicated what Joomla already does.

I did have breadcrumbs enabled, but they were not showing in the current template I was trying, so I was not even thinking along that line. Once they were assigned to a viable position though, they appeared, and of course it solves this completely.
The best answer is often the simplest, right? Thanks.

Oh, just a note to those of us like me who only configure Joomla occasionally, when you add a category to the main menu you have to make sure to assign that page in the breadcrumbs module or you will not see the trail. :-)

Hi again Gordon,

Once you setup the menu properly, you must not assign anything in the breadcrumbs module. The breadcrumb module find and show the items automatically based on the menu and EShop extension.

Just let m know if you need any other helps.

Oh, OK, I had not noticed that characteristic before. It is all functioning as it should though, thanks. Already had an online sale a few days after setting this up.
