Moving Product Description to Under Price on Product Details View

 I was wondering if anyone knows how to move the product description to under the price area?

Like so:


Hope someone can help out a noob

Hello,

Please make an override for the file default.php file for product details. This file is located under your_joomla_folder\components\com_virtuemart\views\productdetails\tmpl\default.php, to create a template override just copy that file under: your_joomla_folder\templates\your_joomla_folder\html\com_virtuemart\productdetails\default.php if the folders com_virtuemart and productdetails does not exist, you create them.

Now, edit the file default.php in out new location. Around line 253 you will find the following code

Code Select Expand

<?php
// Product Description
if (!empty($this->product->product_desc)) {
    ?>
        <div class="product-description">
<?php /** @todo Test if content plugins modify the product description */ ?>
    <span class="title"><?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_DESC_TITLE') ?></span>
<?php echo $this->product->product_desc; ?>
        </div>
<?php
    } // Product Description END

Move that part of the code around line 207, after add to card button code area ... or after availability if you want (where you like, just take care not to break any <?php ?> ...

Hi,

for me it did not work, but when i copied a longer part:

Code Select Expand


<?php
// Product Description
if (!empty($this->product->product_desc)) {
    ?>
        <div class="product-description">
<?php /** @todo Test if content plugins modify the product description */ ?>
    <span class="title"><?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_DESC_TITLE') ?></span>
<?php echo $this->product->product_desc; ?>
        </div>
<?php
    } // Product Description END

    if (!empty($this->product->customfieldsSorted['normal'])) {
$this->position = 'normal';
echo $this->loadTemplate('customfields');
    } // Product custom_fields END
    // Product Packaging
    $product_packaging = '';
    if ($this->product->product_box) {
?>
        <div class="product-box">
    <?php
        echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_UNITS_IN_BOX') .$this->product->product_box;
    ?>
        </div>
    <?php } // Product Packaging END
    ?>


And put it between "Add to Cart Button" and "Avalivility Image" like this:

Code Select Expand


<?php
// Add To Cart Button
//  if (!empty($this->product->prices) and !empty($this->product->images[0]) and $this->product->images[0]->file_is_downloadable==0 ) {
// if (!VmConfig::get('use_as_catalog', 0) and !empty($this->product->prices['salesPrice'])) {
    echo $this->loadTemplate('addtocart');
// }  // Add To Cart Button END
?>
<?php
// Product Description
if (!empty($this->product->product_desc)) {
    ?>
        <div class="product-description">
<?php /** @todo Test if content plugins modify the product description */ ?>
    <span class="title"><?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_DESC_TITLE') ?></span>
<?php echo $this->product->product_desc; ?>
        </div>
<?php
    } // Product Description END

    if (!empty($this->product->customfieldsSorted['normal'])) {
$this->position = 'normal';
echo $this->loadTemplate('customfields');
    } // Product custom_fields END
    // Product Packaging
    $product_packaging = '';
    if ($this->product->product_box) {
?>
        <div class="product-box">
    <?php
        echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_UNITS_IN_BOX') .$this->product->product_box;
    ?>
        </div>
    <?php } // Product Packaging END
    ?>

<?php
// Availability Image
$stockhandle = VmConfig::get('stockhandle', 'none');
if (($this->product->product_in_stock - $this->product->product_ordered) < 1) {
if ($stockhandle == 'risetime' and VmConfig::get('rised_availability') and empty($this->product->product_availability)) {
?> <div class="availability">
    <?php echo (file_exists(JPATH_BASE . DS . VmConfig::get('assets_general_path') . 'images/availability/' . VmConfig::get('rised_availability'))) ? JHTML::image(JURI::root() . VmConfig::get('assets_general_path') . 'images/availability/' . VmConfig::get('rised_availability', '7d.gif'), VmConfig::get('rised_availability', '7d.gif'), array('class' => 'availability')) : VmConfig::get('rised_availability'); ?>
</div>
    <?php
} else if (!empty($this->product->product_availability)) {
?>
<div class="availability">
<?php echo (file_exists(JPATH_BASE . DS . VmConfig::get('assets_general_path') . 'images/availability/' . $this->product->product_availability)) ? JHTML::image(JURI::root() . VmConfig::get('assets_general_path') . 'images/availability/' . $this->product->product_availability, $this->product->product_availability, array('class' => 'availability')) : $this->product->product_availability; ?>
</div>
<?php
}
}
?>


Then It worked

Hope this helps someone
