Hi all,
in older versions of VM I had made showing second image in the category view.
code:
if(isset($product->images[1])){
echo $product->images[0]->displayMediaThumb('class="browseProductImage MoreImg"', false);
echo $product->images[1]->displayMediaThumb('class="browseProductSecondImage"', false);
} else {
echo $product->images[0]->displayMediaThumb('class="browseProductImage theOne"', false);
}
but in new versions this code not working. $product->images return only one image.
my question.
$product->virtuemart_media_id return all media resorces. But how should I do this so that the function displayMediaThumb returns a thumb link?
I try luck with $product->virtuemart_media_id[1]->displayMediaThumb('class="browseProductSecondImage"', false);, but this no work.
I know how to make it "drastically", but I'd like to have it sorted out nicely. If it does.
any idea?
here is not nice solution, but for me is quick and works.
1. override template com_virtuemart/sublayouts/products.php
2. paste function on beginning of the file (function return link to thumb of second image):
function secondImage ($id_1,$file_0_title,$thumb_path,$thumb_0_title){
$db = JFactory::getDbo();
$query = $db->getQuery(true);
$query
->select($db->quoteName('file_title'))
->from($db->quoteName('#__virtuemart_medias'))
->where($db->quoteName('virtuemart_media_id') . " = '" . $id_1 . "'")
->setLimit('1');
$db->setQuery($query);
$result = $db->loadResult();
$explode_title_0 = explode('.',$file_0_title);
$suffix = str_replace($explode_title_0[0],"",$thumb_0_title);
$explode_title_1 = explode('.',$result);
$link_1 = $thumb_path . $explode_title_1[0] . $suffix . '.' . $explode_title_1[1];
return($link_1);
}
3. add <img src=""> tag, for example like this:
// this is original VM thumb
echo $product->images[0]->displayMediaThumb('class="browseProductImage"', false);
// this is second image
echo '<img src="'. secondImage($product->virtuemart_media_id[1],$product->images[0]->file_title,$product->images[0]->file_url_folder_thumb,$product->images[0]->file_name_thumb) . '" class="browseProductSecondImage">';
You can use VM core, add in your file JOOMLAROOT\administrator\components\com_virtuemart\virtuemart.cfg
prodimg_browse=2
then 2 images are loaded and you can use
<?php
echo $product->images[0]->displayMediaThumb('class="browseProductImage"', false);
?>
<?php
if(!empty($product->images[1] ))
echo $product->images[1]->displayMediaThumb('class="browseProductImage"', false);
?>
yop, this is elegant solution. but update rewrite this, right?
No, if you do an overrdie in your template folder, then the PHP code is not modified on Virtuemart Update.
virtuemart.cfg is never modified as i know you have a virtuemart.default.cfg used on install firts time.
But you need to edit VM config and save, so the settings get saved in the Vm config table.
perfect, thx very much
doesnt work :(
Your VM release is ?
Have you try using protostar ?
I have own template. VM 3.2.14
try to print_r($product->images);

jop, your solution works perfect. thx for help :)
Not working in the latest release VirtueMart 3.4.2, any solution?
I found a solution:
in "\components\com_virtuemart\views\category\view.html.php"
change
"$imgAmount = VmConfig::get('prodimg_browse',1);" to "$imgAmount = VmConfig::get('prodimg_browse',X);"
where X is the number of images you want to display
Then recall these images in the category layout
Will the solution be overridden when updating the VirtueMart version? Any other ways with custom template overrides in VirtueMart?
Yes, this will be overwritten. You can instead add the option to virtuemart.cfg.
