Hi
Product Types gives same feature, it is not SEF compatible, but you can use CSVI for faster "parameters" setting.

I brought this and found it to be too complicated. Unistalled, cancelled subscription and wrote my own solution... Teach me to find a quick way round a solution.....

I find it hard to see its complicated

I mean

1) Create a search form
2) Create some search types (i.e. color and size)
3) Create some search options (i.e. blue, red and small, medium)
4) Associate your products to the options per search type (i.e. product1 associated to red and small).

Insert tag for searchform into any content in Joomla or VM and see your new productfinder in action.

Its basicly extremely simple to use - but perhaps your needs did not match what the component does.

Hi,

I'm using redVMProductfinder to have a better search form in my shop. Since this component doesn't use the flypage and the browse page that is configured in VM I had to change the template of the result page from the component. I succeeded for 90% but the last step is to add the 'Add to cart' box next to every result. In the template I use in VM I just had to add 'echo $form_addtocart;' to get this working but when I try this in the template of the component, nothing happens.
I guess this is because the variable '$form_addtocart' is empty (or not known) in this template.

So the question is... What do I have to do to be able to use 'echo $form_addtocart;' in the template? Do I have to include something? Do I have to copy lines of code?

This is the code in the results page:
