Title: Custom Fields
Post by: Topknotch on April 28, 2015, 13:22:52 PM
Virtuemart 3.06 joomla 2.5
Hi.
I have added custom fields on many many products , however I have just noticed on the frontend of the website that although the child variants show , when they choose one, only the default product is chosen and not the one from the dropdown.
ANy ideas on this ? could it be a template issue ?
Thanks

Could be template if you are using overrides. Switch to Beez and see what happens.

ok set to beez and the problem slightly changed.
You choose one of the dropdowns and the price changed but if you then chose another one of different price it didn't change again, it stayed the same as your first choice. If that makes sense
Thanks

sounds like a javascript conflict - check your js error console

I am using jquery easy and there doesn't appear to be any errors either on the page, although I would agree that it is most likely some conflict somewhere.
I am a bit lost with this so any further help will be greatly appreciated.

you don't really expect me to randomly try dozens of categories - most of which have no products - on the off chance of finding one with products and one of those products having custom fields??

Please try to put yourself in the other persons seat - esp. when your the one needing help.....  ;)

Information is power....

the template that it is on now is not doing anything - it isn't compatible  - compare it to the std. vm productdetails one
although all necessary js scripts seem to be loaded

my comment -> sounds like a javascript conflict - check your js error console

was for the one shot beez problem

Quoteok set to beez and the problem slightly changed.

Hi,
In admin virtuemart config, Disable ajax feature in vm 3.0.8. THis is bugged in category view and try to reload the full product. This resolved the bug for 2 users and certainly more.

I reported other bugs and missing for this javascript, but for now the script does not have all the fixes, perhaps this get updated if milbo want to make some changes.
Wait and see.... I'm in the same situation.

VM configuration->templates
'Activate Css Styles & Javascripts' section-> Use ajax for product content
