Is it possible to display certain products via modules on the frontpage of joomla...

I have various modules but they only display, random/featured and so on.. I actually want to choose what to display.

Thanks

Isn't that what featured products is? You select which products are featured and they show up in the module.

zapiy, im sure someone will create a "show product" module for 2.0.

There is not one available yet
I would keep a look out here

I dont see any option within this module to select a certain product.

Thanks for the link and info.

zapiy, I started making a module after this post. It should be finished tomorrow

It has

Header Text
Name
Image
Price
Footer Text

It is a manual module, so you have to fill in the price, name, and link it to where you want.

Fantastic, cheers

It works on J1.7 only. It shows 1 product.

Thanks

arggg, it can. It will take a couple days though. Its not hard, its just a matter of changing the xml file

Thank you soooo much fella, total noob with this program..

Thanks

Wondered how this was progressing fella.

Thanks

Give a me until tuesday

ok, its updated to work on j1.5 (i think) I dont have 1.5 on my development server, so you gotta test it.

I get this install when i try and install it.

Error! Could not find a Joomla! XML setup file in the package.

Thanks for doing it.

you have to unzip the file, and then the installer is inside.

and there is a small css file, that you need to copy and place in your template css.

Yeah i did mate i extracted mod_show_virtuemart_product and used the extension install manager and it fails.

try it now

Installs now but get this when editing the moduley JFolder::files: Path is not a folder.

its fixed,

the problem is in the xml file. The part in bold was capitalized.

<params addpath="/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/elements">
   <param   name="layout" type="filelist" label="MOD_SHOW_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_LAYOUT"
                description="MOD_SHOW_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_LAYOUT"
                directory="/modules/mod_show_virtuemart_product/tmpl"
                default="default" hide_default="1" hide_none="1"
                stripext="1" filter="\.php$" exclude="^_" />

Cheers for this fella, sorry for being for a better word a Noob. Where do i put the CSS file exactly?

in your template.css   file

So i modify the template.css file and add it to the bottom using notepad ++ or something similar?

yes

Cheers mate, can i add a border around the module, pref a rounded corner one?

I forgot to add this to the css file

.border {border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius: 6px 6px 6px 6px;}


wait, you mean for the single product and not the category feature layout?

if so, add this

.showproduct {border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius: 6px 6px 6px 6px;}

Thanks a lot for this.

I just updated the module and added a "banner" field for the category feature layout

Nice one fella, will take a look.

Hi!

Could you give a link to site where this is so that I could see what it looks like?

thanks

Hello
I recently installed this module (Joomla 1.7, VM 2.0.0),  http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension-specific/virtuemart-extensions/virtuemart-products-display/18639 (http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension-specific/virtuemart-extensions/virtuemart-products-display/18639) has considerable potential.
How to work horizontally can be seen http://www.termaltrade.si/trgovina (http://www.termaltrade.si/trgovina)
Vertically it http://www.termaltrade.si (http://www.termaltrade.si) left position.
Shows: product image, name, brief description, and link more.
You can select a specific category, selected products ....

Best regards Show LiFE

First to say that this is a handy module  :)

The only think I would sujest is the addition to the xml file of the following two parts

<params group="advanced">
<param name="cache" type="radio" default="0"
label="Enable Cache"
description="Select whether to cache the content of this module">
        <option value="0">No</option>
        <option value="1">Yes</option>
</param>
<param name="moduleclass_sfx" type="text" default=""
label="Module Class Suffix"
description="A suffix to be applied to the css class of the module (table.moduletable), this allows individual module styling" />
<param name="class_sfx" type="text" default=""
label="Menu Class Suffix"
description="A suffix to be applied to the css class of the menu items" />
    </params>


and

    <fieldset name="advanced">
<field name="cache" type="list"
default="1"
label="COM_MODULES_FIELD_CACHING_LABEL"
description="COM_MODULES_FIELD_CACHING_DESC"
>
            <option value="0">No</option>
            <option value="1">Yes</option>
</field>
<field name="moduleclass_sfx" type="text" default=""
label="COM_MODULES_FIELD_MODULECLASS_SFX_LABEL"
description="COM_MODULES_FIELD_MODULECLASS_SFX_DESC" />
<field name="class_sfx" type="text" default=""
label="Menu Class Suffix"
description="A suffix to be applied to the css class of the menu items" />
    </fieldset>


in order to be able to use the template overides.

Excellent work and I belive this is going to be need alot.

You should be able to paste the source code in the description.

MAKE sure your JCE editor parameters allow it
