Title: Category Page Fields for Templating
Post by: PRO on February 08, 2012, 19:42:18 PM

These fields are for use in the category view
For product page fields, look here http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=92756

Product fields that are not listed here can be used like this
<?php echo $product->COLUMN_NAME ?>

The difference between category and product page is $this
$this->product is for product page
$product-> is for product fields on the category page.

SO, to add weight to the category page. You can do
<?php echo $product->product_weight ?>

Category Name
<?php echo $this->category->category_name; ?>

Category Description
<?php echo $this->category->category_description ; ?>

Product Name with Link
<?php echo JHTML::link($product->link, $product->product_name) ?>

Product Details Link with anchor "Product Details"
<?php echo JHTML::link($product->link, JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_DETAILS'), array('title' => $product->product_name,'class' =>
'product-details'));?>

Order by list
<?php echo $this->orderByList['orderby']; ?>

Manufacturer Dropdown
<?php echo $this->orderByList['manufacturer']; ?>

Pages/Links/Pagination
<?php echo $this->vmPagination->getResultsCounter();?>
<?php echo $this->vmPagination->getLimitBox(); ?>
<?php echo $this->vmPagination->getPagesLinks(); ?>
<?php echo $this->vmPagination->getPagesCounter(); ?>

Short Description
<?php echo shopFunctionsF::limitStringByWord($product->product_s_desc, 40, '...') ?>

^^ Notice the 40 above. limitStringByWord strips the text to 40 characters. You can change the "40"
For full short desc
<?php echo $product->product_s_desc ?>

POP UP Product Image
<?php echo $product->images[0]->displayMediaThumb('class="browseProductImage" border="0" title="'.$product->product_name.'"
',true,'class="modal"'); ?>

Link Image to product page
<?php echo JHTML::_('link', JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id='.$product->virtuemart_product_id.'&virtuemart_category_id='.$product->virtuemart_category_id),$product->images[0]->displayMediaThumb('class="catImage" border="0"',false));
?>

Stock Level
<?php echo $product->stock->stock_level ?>

# Products in Stock
<?php echo $product->product_in_stock ?>

To display the product weight in a usable format:

// custom code to display weight
if ($product->product_weight <> '0'){
echo "Упаковка: ";
echo $product->product_weight;
// echo $product->product_weight_uom;
if ($product->product_weight_uom == "LB") echo 'мл.';
if ($product->product_weight_uom == "OZ") echo 'л.';
if ($product->product_weight_uom == "GR") echo 'гр.';
if ($product->product_weight_uom == "KG") echo 'Кг.';
if ($product->product_weight_uom == "MG") echo 'мг.';
// print_r($product);
}

Of course I could have dug a bit deeper into the source to find build in functionality to display the labels. To find more options, print_r is your friend :)

Hi,

I would like to display product_sku but when I use <?php echo $this->product->product_sku ?> it dosn't work.
What's the appropriate format ?

Thanks a lot
