Title: Custom Fields Not Showing Up In Product Custom Fields Area
Post by: DavidMalton on August 20, 2013, 01:19:09 AM
The Problem that was stopping the Custom Field from showing up was a Jomsocial plugin or component. Thank you all for your help. Hope anyone else who has this problem finds this thread. Thank you VM community! Woot Woot

My Work Around - For anyone who has this problem the azrul plugin for joomsocial was causing this. You don't have to get rid of Joomsocial. Just turn the plugin off, make your product changes, then turn the plug in back on. That seems to be working for me. Thanks Everyone for your help with this.

Trying to figure this out, I watched the video above which would seem very helpful. When I click on products/myproduct/Custom Fields/ click on the "Keen Pan Sizes" nothing shows up as it shows up in the video at time point 5:37


Here is the Video of What I am doing http://youtu.be/NeLP_q22B7U
if anyone can help me I would appreciate it. Maybe there is some option in configuration I need to set. Maybe there is some plug in that I did not install, not sure...


My size does not pop up ...

Can anyone help with this

attached is the set up for my custom field.

Iv also tried

Choose;10;12;14;16

in the default field

I should'nt have to purchse a plug in for this to work, but if I was going to it would be the Breezy Forms Plug,

But I should not have to purchase a plugin to make ths work.

I was talking about the 3rd party plug in that was mentioned above.  I am new to VirtueMart and just cant figure out what I am doing wrong. Dont know if this is a bug in virture mart or my fauilt for not having something set correctly. Do you need a 3rd party plugin to ad cart atrributes?  According to the guy in the video he makes no mention of needing one...

Hi

This should work out of the box without using another plugin.
But i have tested exactly the same custom field and seems to be loaded in my case.

Are you getting any js error when you select "Keen Pan Sizes" ?
Also try to clean your browser's cache
Title: Re: Custom Fields Not Showing Up In Product Custom Fields Area
Post by: DavidMalton on August 21, 2013, 21:19:32 PM
No there are no Java Script errors that pop up, and I have cleared my browser catch, Tried Firefox and IE both show same problem. I updated my cart to 2.0.22b today and that did not fix the problem either. Is there any plug in or setting anyone can think of that needs to be turned on or turned off that could effect this?

Does this happens only with cart variants and only with lists?
Can you try other combinations to check if it works?
Title: Re: Custom Fields Not Showing Up In Product Custom Fields Area
Post by: DavidMalton on August 22, 2013, 09:46:16 AM
Give me an example and I will try it. Like it says I'm new it took me a few days just to figure out how to add a list.  Write down what I can try and I will try it...  Appreciate the help.

I don't think that its a bug.
It seems to work smoothly for anyone.

Try with a different browser and let us know.

I have installed the Latest Version 2.0.22B  Joomla 2.5.14  PHP V5

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1P_G7Z-E9k (this video Show What I am Trying To Do)

These lower 2 Videos are Showing whats happening in my cart...
http://youtu.be/NeLP_q22B7U 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2m5gd-wPp8

The two videos above show what I am trying to do and the problem.  I am trying to add custom fields to my products. Gold Pan Size 10 inch, 11 inch... I can create the Custom Field but when I go to Products/Custom Fields and select the Custom Field it will not pop up or show up as you can see from the videos.  I have tried to change templates, Browsers, Turned of Plugins, Removed Plugins. Tried to try diffrent Custom Fields and I get this same problem. Been on the Forums asking for help and no one has a clue so I am now hoping that its a bug that you can tell me how to fix.

Thank you.

Dave

You said that you removed plugins.

But you didn't report what specific 3rd party plugins were removed.
On video I saw Jomsocial (its azrul plugin is known for making conflicts with VM) and cache cleaner (nnframework from its developer could influence VM in Joomla backend area too).

Not able to play to resolve plugins fest? Send me pm with access then.

Also

Did you post url to your page with issue?

I'm for sure wouldn't join thread where I see that experienced member of our forum (Balai) is trying to help you.


So report if you still have problem in your already created thread and don't spam forum by creating another thread with the same issue.

Hehe, you're welcome! VM Team told Jomsocial guys about this issue. Jomsocial team could already have fix for their azrul plugin.

I have the same problem.
Installed plugins Acymailing, Akeeba backup, JCE editor, SEBLOD 3.x, widgetkit, jQuery Easy.
Are any of those plugins known to cause this problem?
jQuery Easy was installed because before virtuemart backend didn't work at all.
All plugins are recent version.
Title: Re: Custom Fields Not Showing Up In Product Custom Fields Area
Post by: Maxim Pishnyak on November 11, 2013, 21:21:42 PM
JCE editor?
Title: Re: Custom Fields Not Showing Up In Product Custom Fields Area
Post by: abc123 on November 12, 2013, 02:44:29 AM
I didn't understand the answer, is JCE known to cause problems or unknown to you?

Title: Re: Custom Fields Not Showing Up In Product Custom Fields Area
Post by: abc123 on November 18, 2013, 18:50:25 PM
Yes i did but it still doesn't work.
Any other suggestions?

I had some time to look at the problem and has now solved it.
It seems that widgetkit, jQuery Easy caused my problems, i'm not 100% sure that it was only them since i cleaned DB and uninstalled seblod (since i no longer had use for it).
To make it work i turned of  jQuery Easy (since it was only installed to help with jquery problems) and then disabled virtuemart > configuration > configuration > templates > Using the VirtueMart jQuery.

I hope that disabling "Using the VirtueMart jQuery" won't cause any problems, is there any known problems with disabling it?

EDIT: cart stopped working so i guess wm doesn't support the same version of jquery, so i need to replace widgetkit with something else.
Enabled jQuery Easy and > Basic Site Options > Enable jQuery > jQuery, then choose Version jQuery v1.8 for both jQuery and jQuery UI and now everything works even widgetkit.
I stll had problem with TOS (terms of service) not showing but solved it with jQuery Easy  Advanced Site Options (Expert users only) > Disable In Pages > *com_virtuemart*
