Category page layout

[gofer123]

Sorry if this a real dumb question but I'm a bit confused, how do I get VM Product Category to look like this: (please see attached image) and how do setup the capability so the viewer can add any product to "My favourites"
Appreciate some please, I'm using VM 2.0 + Joomla 2.5
Thank you.

Hello,

First upgrade to vm2.0.16d. You have to create some template overrides for that, for example for category view just copy the file from
joomla_root_folder/components/com_virtuemart/views/category/tmpl/default.php
to
joomla_root_folder/templates/your_joomla_template/html/com_virtuemart/category/default.php

Also adjust your CSS styling. As you understand you need some CSS/HTML/PHP knowledge to create and adjust your template files. Also keep in mind that vm2 uses the same template system.

Use firebug to examine you site code and css styling: https://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=102850.0

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I've created a second template that has all the styling and has a centre content area where all VM content goes. So at the moment if I click on Prom Ball gowns it appears in the correct template but it displays only small thumbnail images rather than the original size of the image which is 249px x 400px. My thinking it's just something in the VM settings that I have stuffed up.
Cheers
