Title: is it possible to add some text to the catalog?
Post by: Gumx on February 28, 2012, 09:25:00 AM
hi i was wondering if it is possible to add text to the catalog so i can tell my costumers that the prices are updated once a month so the price may be diffrent than the price in the actual store (see print screen)


i'm using version 2.0.2 vm and 1.7 joomla

Hi,

If the catalog = category, you can add a text in a category description (Product Categories -> Edit or New Category -> Product Category Form -> Description). In the default template, the description will appear on top of the category view, like on the image attached. If you don't like this position (or want both top and bottom description positions) - modify the category view, or substitute one with your own template.

It is possible. Edit

components\com_virtuemart\views\category\tmpl\default.php,

or get it in your template, then edit. Any text you wish can be shown, wherever you need it))
