REMOVE icons in Shopping Cart

[K2VD4X]

I want to remove 'update quantity' and 'delete from cart' icons in the cart. How do I do this? I think the default icons in Virtuemart 2 are terrible and look more like a recycling icon and a glass of water. Not very intuitive. I would prefer to simple text links 'update' and 'remove'. How do I go about doing this?

I've even tried removing the actual icons in the virtuemart assets folder to no avail which left me nonplussed.

Which php file do I have to change to achieve this?

Versions:
Joomla! 2.5.6
VirtueMart 2.6.12

Many thanks,
Rowan

The icons are part of the sprite image vm2-sprite.png  To change from sprites to text you should edit the template file at components/com_virtuemart/views/cart/tmpl/default_pricelist.php around line 215 - look for COM_VIRTUEMART_CART_UPDATE and COM_VIRTUEMART_CART_DELETE to get the right code area.

Use you edited file as a template override. http://docs.virtuemart.net/tutorials/33-templating-layouts.html
You may also need to override some css.

If your Joomla version really is 2.5.6 then you are seriously out of date and using an insecure version. Current is 2.5.27

I had problems with a couple of the default sprites so I edited the sprite file to change the icons -

Then replaced the existing sprite file
Remember to replace the file after an update as it will get overwritten

@ jenkinhill
Thanks for your suggestions. I worked out the solution to this problem and thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I already had a template override for default_pricelist.php and the solution was simple in the end (for those who read this later and want to know how):

in default_pricelist.php

For the update quantity icon:

Code Select Expand

<input type="submit" class="vmicon vm2-add_quantity_cart" I just added to the 'value' attribute.


For the remove item icon:

Code Select Expand

<a class="vmicon vm2-remove_from_cart" I simply added text to the link tag.


NOTE: for both you will need to remove the background because the icons are images called in CSS. I also had to reset width and height attributes so as not to clip the text.

That was it.

Forgive me, do you Joomla versions count backwards? The backend reports that Joomla is up-to-date.

The backend reports that Joomla is up-to-date.

it may do but it is wrong!!!  latest - as a quick look on Joomla.org will tell you -  is 2.5.27

have you updated your DB tables - > extensions -> extension manager ->database

if out of date will often show the wrong Joomla info
