Save function in product edit

[alexanderflr]

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can find Save classes for product price?
I'm looking for a way to stop Save button to save prices when I edit a product. I don't need the possibility to edit the prices because I created a software that does that and inserts the prices automatically in the database.

I'm using Joomla! 3.7.5 Stable, PHP 7.0.18, Virtuemart 3.2.2
Thank you,

Make an override for the view:

administrator/templates/isis/html/com_virtuemart/product/product_edit_status.php

Hi,
I checked that and is nothing to do with prices 

Thank you.

[Jörgen]

Sorry
Was a bit Quick, You will find the original files under
administrator/components/com_virtuemart/views/product/tmpl

and the override should be this file
administrator/templates/youradmintemplate/html/com_virtuemart/product/product_edit_price.php

Hi,

Thank you.

I tried to do that but if I change something else to the product and save, all of the prices disappear

Because the normal way in php is to load the form with the current values and to store the whole thing.

So when your system sets the prices, they should be there, when you edit the product and stored with the rest of the form. There is only one function working different, the toggle function. we update only the boolean, when you use the toggle function in the list (to publish or make a product featured). In all other cases, the form overwrites anything which is there. The same with the config. When you store the config, it starts with fresh data. It loads first the config file, then the all values get overwritten by the form. So any values stored in the config, which are not in the file or form get deleted.

Hi Milbo,

I understand what you are saying and makes sense but must be a way not to load them, will help me also not the have them at all in the product edit page...

Hi

I have been trying to do this on a website I am working on 2, we do not have as may prices as the original poster but we still have around 70/80 shopper groups and the load time is slow when editing each product.

What I have been trying to do is stop the "Product Pricing" section of the "Product Information Tab" from loading on open. I cant find the correct file that builds the product edit page? I can delete the code from the Product Edit page and it stops the pricing from loading but then when I save it deletes all the data. So my plan was to take out the product pricing from loading so when it saves the product pricing isn't there to save so it just does nothing!

Any ideas?

Thanks
Jack

YOu have a simple solution.
Hide the price container in ROOT/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/views/product/tmpl/product_edit_information.php
search : Product pricing
and replace <fieldset> (it's the second in the file) with

Code Select Expand

<fieldset style="display:none'>

If you need to quick modify products, you can Buy VM Be Pro and disable price column too in this component.

Hi Studio 24,

I done this before but the pricing is still loading even if is not visible. I have around 150 price groups, the loading time is not the best.

[Studio 42]

Problem is that VM does update all fields on save. So removing the field, remove the price.
If you really want remove it, then you have to modify the product model, so price is never saved.

Hi,

Thank you very much, do you know what lines must be modified? Thank you.

[Studio 42]

search in
public function store (

add
$data['mprices'] = null;
before
if (isset($data['mprices']['product_price']) and count($data['mprices']['product_price']) > 0){

add
$old_price_ids = null;
before
if (!empty($old_price_ids) and count($old_price_ids) ) {

should work (or comment all the codes about prices in this function)

Thank you very much, you are a star!
Works great, exactly what I needed.
