I used this code and it works beautifully... however I really need someone to help with a slight modification:

Using the code as is, the button is available to anonymous viewers - I need this disabled when unregistered viewers are browsing the store and visible to registered visitors.

I am using VM 2.0.8a on Joomla 2.5.6
Help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I need this too, basically for the store to function as a catalog for unregistered users and with store functionality for registered users.
I used the code provided and it works fine but I need to know how to hide the form (code) from unregistered visitors - not a php coder so I'm really stuck... Can anyone help with this?

Using same versions of joomla and vm as quoted.

Many thanks.

Hi, outthebox:

It's better for you to afford a download for the file you talked about. If we can download and have a look at the file you talked about, we may do a comparison and make things much easier. Thank you very much...

Hi Pei

The file I edited is: [yoursite]/components/com_virtuemart/views/category/tmpl/default.php
 - From what I have read in these forums, it seems there is a way to use a template for this instead of editing this default file but I haven't got to that yet - I'm far more familiar with VM 1 and still getting used to VM 2.

As for what was originally on line 284, it's and end div tag for the price display. The code (form) goes between that and the next line of code which is for the product details button. I have attached my default.php file so you can see what I mean.
 - You should be able to simply replace the one that's there with this one.

Hope this helps.

Mike

I just wanted to add my solution to this problem as I did not modify any of the root virtuemart code and it includes the custom fields.

It seems to work fine, should not be overwritten if you update virtumart and it is easy to revert to the original virtuemart later.

These are the steps
1 Create a folder rootOfYourSite/templates/yourTemplate/html/com_virtuemart/category
Files included in this folder will have higher preference ("overwrite")  than the orginal virtuemart files

2 Copy default.php to the folder created in step 1
This is the original virtuemart file from components/com_virtuemart/views/category/tmlp/default.php
ecxept for lines 288 where I include addToCartCategory.php and line 291 which is commented out.
In line 252 I included the full description instead of short description of the product

3 Copy addToCartCategory.php to the folder created in step 1
This is the original virtuemart file from components/com/virtuemart/views/productdetails/tmpl/default_addtocart.php
except I did replace all $this->product with $product

Hope this is useful for someone

Would also like to thank the virtuemart team for making these modifications so elegant

Edit: Fixed typo in path and some clarification

[jiapei100]

3 Copy addToCartCategory.php to this folder

....

It seems the above address is wrong. Should be
components/com_virtuemart/views/productdetails/tmpl/default_addtocart.php
instead of
components/com_virtuemart/views/productdetails/view/default_addtocart.php

Are you sure, just by "uploading such a folder with 2 files in this folder" would work?
It seems, nothing happened on my product categories.

Sorry you were right about the path, I had to write all the text twice as the first time the forum
system didn't accept my attachments so I was a little bit sloppy maybe the second time.

I was maybe not very clear about it in my post (modified it now) but everything should be put into
the folder that you created in step 1.

This works fine for me, have not found anything drawbacks. I'm using custom fields on some of my products
and it works like a charm.

Just wanted to say thanks for this great hack!

My question is:

How can i redirect the button "add to cart" to the same page?

Guessing i'm at page 12 of X category . . when i add a product at cart (and pop up print the sentence "Continue shopping" and we do click on the button), this send me to the first page of category ¬¬

If someone has the answer.. please, help me!!

Thanks and have a nice day

I can't seem to get this to work in IE 9 only, can someone take a look? It works in browser compat mode (though the popup needs to be restyled in CSS)
