I am sure I am not the only one but I couldn't find an answer to this.
I would like to simple have a add to cart button on the front page. I know how the template override works but don't know what code(s) to copy. I can I do this for joomla 2.5.4 and virturemart 2.0.6?
I have found the solution here. ;D

Update..
for vm 2.0.6
copy from /sites/pondies/dev/components/com_virtuemart/views/productdetails/tmpl/default_addtocart.php
<div class="addtocart-area">
<form method="post" class="product js-recalculate" action="index.php" >
<?php // Product custom_fields
if (!empty($this->product->customfieldsCart)) { ?>
<div class="product-fields">
<?php foreach ($this->product->customfieldsCart as $field) { ?>
<div class="product-field product-field-type-<?php echo $field->field_type ?>">
<span class="product-fields-title" ><b><?php echo JText::_($field->custom_title) ?></b></span>
<?php if ($field->custom_tip)
echo JHTML::tooltip($field->custom_tip, JText::_($field->custom_title), 'tooltip.png'); ?>
<span class="product-field-display"><?php echo $field->display ?></span>
<span class="product-field-desc"><?php echo $field->custom_field_desc ?></span>
</div><br />
<?php
}
?>
</div>
<?php
}
/* Product custom Childs
* to display a simple link use $field->virtuemart_product_id as link to child product_id
* custom_value is relation value to child
*/
if (!empty($this->product->customsChilds)) {
?>
<div class="product-fields">
<?php foreach ($this->product->customsChilds as $field) { ?>
<div class="product-field product-field-type-<?php echo $field->field->field_type ?>">
<span class="product-fields-title" ><b><?php echo JText::_($field->field->custom_title) ?></b></span>
<span class="product-field-desc"><?php echo JText::_($field->field->custom_value) ?></span>
<span class="product-field-display"><?php echo $field->display ?></span>
</div><br />
<?php } ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>
<div class="addtocart-bar">
<?php // Display the quantity box
$stockhandle = VmConfig::get('stockhandle', 'none');
if (($stockhandle == 'disableit' or $stockhandle == 'disableadd') and ($this->product->product_in_stock - $this->product->product_ordered) < 1) {
?>
<a href="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&layout=notify&virtuemart_product_id='.$this->product->virtuemart_product_id); ?>"><?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_CART_NOTIFY') ?></a>
<?php } else { ?>
<!-- <label for="quantity<?php echo $this->product->virtuemart_product_id; ?>" class="quantity_box"><?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_CART_QUANTITY'); ?>: </label> -->
<span class="quantity-box">
<input type="text" class="quantity-input js-recalculate" name="quantity[]" value="<?php if (isset($this->product->min_order_level) && (int) $this->product->min_order_level > 0) {
echo $this->product->min_order_level;
} else {
echo '1';
} ?>" />
</span>
<span class="quantity-controls js-recalculate">
<input type="button" class="quantity-controls quantity-plus" />
<input type="button" class="quantity-controls quantity-minus" />
</span>
<?php // Display the quantity box END ?>
<?php
// Display the add to cart button
?>
<span class="addtocart-button">
<input type="submit" name="addtocart" class="addtocart-button" value="<?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_CART_ADD_TO') ?>" title="<?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_CART_ADD_TO') ?>" />
</span>
<?php } ?>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
<?php // Display the add to cart button END ?>
<input type="hidden" class="pname" value="<?php echo $this->product->product_name ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="option" value="com_virtuemart" />
<input type="hidden" name="view" value="cart" />
<noscript><input type="hidden" name="task" value="add" /></noscript>
<input type="hidden" name="virtuemart_product_id[]" value="<?php echo $this->product->virtuemart_product_id ?>" />
<?php /** @todo Handle the manufacturer view */ ?>
<input type="hidden" name="virtuemart_manufacturer_id" value="<?php echo $this->product->virtuemart_manufacturer_id ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="virtuemart_category_id[]" value="<?php echo $this->product->virtuemart_category_id ?>" />
</form>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
to your desired override file and location. e.g. I put mine on the featured front page.
original... components/com_virtuemart/views/virtuemart/tmpl/default_products.php
overide/my desired override file... templates/yourtemplatename/html/com_virtuemart/virtuemart/default_products.php (note: this has to be created)
I didn't want the plus and minus signs so I comment that code out
<span class="quantity-controls js-recalculate">
<input type="button" class="quantity-controls quantity-plus" />
<input type="button" class="quantity-controls quantity-minus" />
</span>
For some reason in order for the minicart to show the product name I had to take out "this->"
<?php echo $this->product->product_name ?>" />
<?php echo $this->product->virtuemart_product_id ?>" />
<?php echo $this->product->virtuemart_manufacturer_id ?>" />
<?php echo $this->product->virtuemart_category_id ?>" />
That may or may not work for you.
check for missing divs and that's is it.
Thanks for the update! Is this solved? If so please mark [SOLVED].
