Hi All,
Done a search on the forums with no applicable results, so hopefully I'm not reposting an existing question.
My VM2 Store, by default, lists my categories Horizontally. Perfect!
Unfortunately, Related Categories and Related Products list themselves vertically for some reason, wasting a lot of screen space. :o
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
My addition: I run latest VM 2.0.20b
When I add multiple related categories to an article, these are positioned tightly beneath each other. See attachment. How can I position them three in a row like the view of categories on the page. Thanks so much for your help.
Regards, Fred
[attachment cleanup by admin]
Do you have a link to your site? Is this your own template? Maybe you must adapt the css.
Yes, the new site I am working on is http://new.keyboard-centrum.nl and I created the example product with related categories:
http://new.keyboard-centrum.nl/nl/winkel/keyboards/at-3-detail
I can even create super user account for you if needed :) I can copy the template css in the the thread or send it. Thanks so much for your help and for your fast reply!!
Regards, Fred
insert the following in your template css file:
product-field product-field-type-Z {
width: 33%;
text-align: center;
margin-top: 20px;
}
product-field product-field-type-Z img {
margin: auto;
}
Best Regards,
Maik
I added the css and it didn't work. So I tried
.product-field product-field-type-Z {
width: 33%;
text-align: center;
margin-top: 20px;
}
.product-field product-field-type-Z img {
margin: auto;
}
And it also didn't work as you can see at http://new.keyboard-centrum.nl/nl/winkel/keyboards/at-3-detail
Thanks anyway for trying to help.
By the way I added it in the template.css where I copied also the virtuemart css
Regards, Fred
I can't find it in your template.css
and you must use this
.product-field.product-field-type-Z
.product-field.product-field-type-Z img
Thanks! Now it works!!!
Great!
Well, one little cosmetic issue left. Can you tell me why the first category on page
http://new.keyboard-centrum.nl/nl/winkel/keyboards/at-3-detail
doesn't align with the other two? Thanks again in advance for your fast reply
Your image has another heigh.
Hi Maik,
Yes I found out and edited the image by square out the canvas. Thanks again so much for your kind help. Have a good time.
Regards, Fred
Since you could help me so easy, which code is needed for related articles (sub-articles). On http://new.keyboard-centrum.nl/nl/winkel/keyboards/tyros-4-xl-detail?showall=1#accessoires you can see they are now also positioned vertically. Thanks again for your great support.
Kind regards, Fred
same thing with
.product-field.product-field-type-R
You can use firebug to find the css classes
Hi Maik,
Wow, how fast your response. Although after midnight here, I tried and copied the following in the css:
.product-field.product-field-type-R {
width: 33%;
text-align: center;
margin-top: 20px;
}
.product-field.product-field-type-R img {
margin: auto;
}
But is didn't have any effect.
Tomorrow new day for fixing :)

Thanks so much Maike, that did the trick.
Next I have a problem with Embedding youtubes, but I will write a new thread about it.
Regards, Fred
For embedding YouTube you can use my plugin:
http://extensions.virtuemart.net/products/youtube-detail
Hi Maik,
For example on the following detailed page I have embedded youtube using Nonumber Sourcere plugin:http://new.keyboard-centrum.nl/nl/winkel/keyboards/arranger-keyboard/tyros-4-xl2012-12-15-16-39-10-detail?showall=1#multimedia
However the problem is when I have to change anything, e.g.update the price and save again, the multimedia is disappeared. Can I avoid such things using your plugin. Will it also work for Joomla 3? I might purchase you plugin when it easy and stable keeps multimedia embedded.
Regards, Fred
Can I position the youtube via your plugin also into the multimedia tab of the tabbed dialog ?
Regards, Fred
It works fine and you have a lot of settings for the player layout. Look at the demo on
http://extensions.virtuemart.net/products/youtube-detail
This is a tutorial video ... and it is implemented with this plugin
make a custom field position for the video and it will be ever on this position on product detail page
here another example: (choose the trailer tab ... it is this, what you like)
http://www.vp-masberg.de/en/shop/dvds/aikido/aikido-von-a-bis-z-grundtechniken-vol-3-detail.html
atm vm is only for joomla 2.5, but I will update the plugin for new vm versions
When I purchase the plugin, can I make the position the Multimedia tab? This tabbed dialog is created by the tabber plugin and using 'code':
{tab=Description|grey}
{tab=Specification|grey}
{tab=Accessories|grey}
{tab=Multimedia|grey}
{source} "youtube embed code" {/source}
{/tabs}
So the position I want is "{source} "youtube embed code" {/source}"
How can this be done?
Fred
On my site I use the Nonumber Tabs plugin. If you can tell me how to define the psotion for multimedia, then I will purchase the extension.
When for an article there is no multimedia it will be like:
{tab=Description|grey}
{tab=Specification|grey}
{tab=Accessories|grey}
{/tabs}
In case I want to add one or more youtubes I will add:
{tab=Multimedia|grey}
{source} "youtube embed code" {/source}
So {tab=Multimedia|grey} is the position.
Thanks for further help.
The normal way is with PHP:
<?php
$this->position='trailer';
echo $this->loadTemplate('customfields');
?>
and in Custom Fild settings set the position "trailer" or what you want
but wait, atm I make a new version of the plugin and I hope I can upload it tomorrow
have you tried it with the position?
the new version of my plugin is ready and I hope the extension shop upload it today
Hi Maik,
I have not had time to get to this issue. I am still very busy entering articles and building the website. It has all to be done in private time during evenings. But I will await your new version. And then I will see to go on after purchasing the plugin. My client was willing to buy the pluging, but I told him that I can better do it, since I have to download it to my PC anyway and install it.
Where, in which php-file must I put the code? I might need some help. But first will dig in it myself.
Hi,
the new version is ready to download:
http://extensions.virtuemart.net/products/youtube-detail
The code must in the template respectively in the multimedia tab, where you have added the youtube code.
Hello Maike,
I just purchased the plugin and will go to watch the video in the mean time. Your final sentence is not clear to me. But maybe once I installed it I will find out
Regards, Fred
Hi Maike I installed your plugin and watched the tutorial video. However there is a difference with my use case. My product detail pageas often have a tabbed dialog like e.g. http://new.keyboard-centrum.nl/nl/winkel/keyboards/gw-8e-gw-8l2013-04-07-20-34-59-detail
And sometimes there is a tab "Multimedia" like http://new.keyboard-centrum.nl/nl/winkel/keyboards/tyros-4-xl2012-12-15-16-39-10-detail?showall=1#multimedia
So I want the custom field of your plugin positioned iunder this tab when it is present for the article. Above you see the code of these tabs. Thanks for your support.
Regards, Fred
