Your question is not clear. Exactly what do you want to change the Coose variant link to? Are you saying you want to replace it with an image?

Thanks you for your replay, i have VM 3.0.10 and i use the plugin "stockablecustomfields". When i press the "Choose a variant link" without to choose variants i want to open the product in details page.
The image of the product have the link, if i click to the image it opens the details page of the product. Is there a solution to change this link to have the same as the image?

You should not be using VM3.0.10 now. http://virtuemart.net/news/latest-news/473-security-release-virtuemart-3-0-12

To change the button action, assuming you use the default VM templates, you can edit and create an override for components/com_virtuemart/sublayouts/addtocartbtn.php http://docs.virtuemart.net/tutorials/templating-layouts/199-sublayouts.html

standard template? assume from the category page?

the choose variant button is rendered in

components\com_virtuemart\sublayouts\addtocartbtn.php

prob over ride the

Code Select

echo '<span name="addtocart" class="addtocart-button-disabled" title="'.vmText::_( 'COM_VIRTUEMART_ADDTOCART_CHOOSE_VARIANT' ).'" >'.vmText::_( 'COM_VIRTUEMART_ADDTOCART_CHOOSE_VARIANT' ).'</span>';

with something like

Code Select

echo '<a title="<?php echo $product->product_name ?>" href="<?php echo $product->link.$ItemidStr; ?>"><span name="addtocartxx" class="addtocart-button-disabled" title="'.vmText::_( 'COM_VIRTUEMART_ADDTOCART_CHOOSE_VARIANT' ).'" >'.vmText::_( 'COM_VIRTUEMART_ADDTOCART_CHOOSE_VARIANT' ).'</span></a>';

but only for cat page.. use a different over ride for details

or just delete it and keep the details button
