Change category list

[MichelR]

Hi there,

I just installed Joomla's Virtuemart. Now I want to customize the layout.
In index.php?page=shop.browse&category=&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=2 I would like to keep the page minimal by using pictures only (So no detailed information about manufacturer, price etc). Does anyone know where I can modify this?

Thanks a lot!

Hi, well as I read from your link info you're still on the first page, which to my knowledge only shows shopinfo, categories, recent and featured products. No manufacturer or price here?

Anyhow, if you mean the category listings, there are several threads in this forum covering parts of that topic. Kindly read those first to see if it is to any aid for you.

Yes, I have been looking around on the forum. I looked for the appropriate files in these directories /httpdocs/shop/components/com_virtuemart/themes/default/templates/browse/includes

But I could't find anything to remove the manufacturer, price, product details etc.
Are there any other directories I could look in?

Example:

If you chosen 'Flat list' layout in VM Backend you can edit this file:
browse_listtable.tpl.php

You can for example remove columns which I have.
I'm only listing the 1.image  2.Name  3.SKU  4.Price

Excerpt from browse_listtable.tpl.php

Code: [Select]

// Table header
$tableheader[] = $VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_PRODUCT_FORM_THUMB_IMAGE');
$tableheader[] = $VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_CART_NAME');
$tableheader[] = $VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_CART_SKU');
if( _SHOW_PRICES && $auth['show_prices'] ) {
$tableheader[] = $VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_CART_PRICE');
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------
As stated, the file you edit in this regard is decided by your choice in the backend.
The different choices in backend is governed by the contents in 'theme.xml' which updates the 'theme.config.php'

The 'theme.xml' selections and respective file:

Code: [Select]

<param name="productListStyle" type="list" default="browse/includes/browse_layouttable.tpl.php" label="Product List Style" description="Select the style of the product listings (=browse page)">
<option value="browse/includes/browse_layouttable.tpl.php">Product Listing with a table (default)</option>
<option value="browse/includes/browse_listtable.tpl.php">Flat Product List (fixed to 1 product per row, using a table)</option>
<option value="browse/includes/browse_notables.tpl.php">Product List (no table, div-based)</option>
</param>

Good luck!
