VM 3: Multi-variant don't load new product details page of child product

[arneeuh]

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to just stay on the same page when selecting a variant on the parent product-page.

That way, all reviews are bundled on the parent product page. The only thing that should change is the price, when selecting a child product.

I have to use multi variant, because of stock-control.

Kind regards

You can perhaps fake the product review form ?
This work only when you have only one level child product

in YOURSITE\components\com_virtuemart\views\productdetails\tmpl\default_reviews.php
Add:

Code Select Expand

if($this->product->product_parent_id) $id = $this->product->product_parent_id;
else $id = $this->product->virtuemart_product_id;
(before the following code here )

change

Code Select Expand

<form method="post"
  action="<?php echo JRoute::_( 'index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id='.$this->product->virtuemart_product_id.'&virtuemart_category_id='.$this->product->virtuemart_category_id, FALSE ); ?>"
  name="reviewForm" id="reviewform">

  name="reviewForm" id="reviewform">

and

Code Select Expand

<input type="hidden" name="virtuemart_product_id"
   value="<?php echo $this->product->virtuemart_product_id; ?>"/>
to

Code Select Expand

<input type="hidden" name="virtuemart_product_id"
   value="<?php echo $id; ?>"/>

If you have more then 1 level, then you have to write a php function to get the first product parent id.

Thanks for the reply, I'll try it!

But, this line:

Code Select Expand

if($this->product->product_parent_id) $id = $this->product->product_parent_id;
else $id = $this->product->virtuemart_product_id;

Where exactly should I place it? Right before:

Code Select Expand

<form method="post"
  action="<?php echo JRoute::_( 'index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id='.$id.'&virtuemart_category_id='.$this->product->virtuemart_category_id, FALSE ); ?>"
  name="reviewForm" id="reviewform">

This line?

Thanks!

Yes before, in the same file.

Tried changing it but ended up in not being able to post reviews anymore. This is the file.

Could you perhaps correct it? Thanks!

If you have set your shop, to only allow user have buy the product  to post review, it's sure, this Hook cannot work.
