I was wondering if, in the product information Tab where you select a category, can it also show the category id. Just not great at php so I am not sure how to get the category-id to show after the category name.
I see in the code where the category_tree is being called but I am not sure if the id is available.?
Thanks,
Bobby

I see the ids in the option values but I need them to show for the client after the name of the category. See attached.

HERE is the solution, thanks to PRO for the light bulb in the dark.
Thanks for your help, PRO.
in administrator/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/shopfunctions.php
Where your code above says:
} else {
$categoryTree .= '<option ' . $selected . ' ' . $disabled . ' value="' . $childId . '">';
$categoryTree .= str_repeat (' - ', ($level - 1));
$categoryTree .= $category->category_name . '</option>';
}
REPLACE WITH
} else {
$categoryTree .= '<option ' . $selected . ' ' . $disabled . ' value="' . $childId . '">';
$categoryTree .= str_repeat (' - ', ($level - 1));
$categoryTree .= $category->category_name . "-" . $childId .'</option>';
}
works like a charm!
Yeh it would be intersting to add to your code a perm check, so that only admins see it.
Hey Milbo thanks for the reply,
I placed this in this file.
administrator/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/shopfunctions.php
It's not showing in the frontend at this point so I think that the perm check is not necessary.
Thanks,
