Post by: Manuelm on March 25, 2014, 20:01:12 PM
Hello forum. Thank you for the forum.

I have a challenge to make related products and categories in Virtuemart.
I searched and fetched themes and plug-ins or as many turns to categories and products, but can not find how.

What do I do? I put it captured image from another online store.

- A list of brands
- By selecting a brand, the products of this brand but the category is related

Does anyone know how this can be done? Should You be created, right?

I thought maybe they could use the brands as category and link one, the product subcategories appear.
But how to make the products look in the category listing?

Does anyone know of any plugin that make?

You can do this with a template override for the category view. Look through the vm coding to get products and build a product array arranged by subcategory. Then output it and style it with css.

Thank kkmediaproduction.

I have made ​​changes to the template from the list of products in a category. But do not know how to list several categories with their products, as in the picture. It is like mixing the category template and products template. Any idea of the code or some plugin?

It is necessary to recode the complete category view with PHP and HTML. This is not only a mixing of both views. Yes, I've the ability to write a template override for a view like your pictures. But this is not a 10 Min. job. This is only possible as commercial job. In this case please PM or Email.

Hi

You need a filtering application. Theses functionalities already exist in filtering extensions.
Check Custom Filters: http://breakdesigns.net/extensions/custom-filters

Then you can override the module's output to make it display the way you like
