Help needed from VM Developers to fix Themler Product Variant Ajax Issue

[bigrich66]

Hi All

I have spent a year battling Themler(Billion Digital) to fix an issue with their Themler Template builder software. They state on their website that Themler is fully compatible with Virtuemart.

https://themler.io/Features

However, it turns out Product Variants do not work in Product listings when using a Themler Template like they do in the default Virtuemart template. They have turned around and admitted they do not have a solution to this issue and are not going to provide one. 

I originally posted on this Forum as below to request how to fix the issue and was informed it was a template issue not a VM issue. I have decided to start a new post because it is now a development issue not a bug/question etc

https://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=139001.0

I then posted the following thread in the Themler Forum

http://answers.themler.io/questions/150261/missing-virtuemart-variant-functionality-in-product-listings?order=Newest

You can clearly see from the thread, myself and others are desperate to find a clean working solution as we use Themler to build Joomla/Virtuemart Templates that are now in live sites. I have already lost a customer though this and have another customer with a website 95% complete (see Themler Thread)

As the Themler developers have decided to give up, my next port of call would be freelancer.co.uk but before that I would like to ask the Virtuemart Developers if they wish to try and give this a go by offering a paid plugin and/or a solution?

Here is a quick demo of the problem

See the product called JAMES & THEDIN DROP MIRROR on the page below

https://antiligatureshopdirect.com/index.php?virtuemart_category_id

• =29&Itemid=229&option=com_customfilters&view=products
  
  Try to select a variant. The "add to cart" button will not present itself
  
  Click the actual product however to go to the Product detail page and select a variant. The "add to Cart" button works
  
  
  
  Many Thanks

it looks like the selected product is not loading, only in product detail view.

Yes it should be working like the page below

http://demo.virtuemart.net/

but Themler developers are refusing to add the necessary js or do not know how to do it?

Chrome Console is reporting the following

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'substring' of undefined
    at Object.Virtuemart.findContainers (cvfind.js?vmver=1dfff776:39)
    at HTMLSelectElement.Virtuemart.cvFind (cvfind.js?vmver=1dfff776:58)

You can contact me, if you need a developer but the problem is not in Virtuemart but in com_customfilters because Virtuemart.container is set to .product-field-display but the container is .vm-product-item
And Virtuemart.containerSelector is undefined
I mean its not hard to do, only some template override and all should work.

Thank you for your reply. I have contacted Break Designs who supply the Custom Filters extension for their advice.

Hi Studio 42

I have received below from the Custom Filters Pro developer even after offer of payment.

"Unfortunately i cannot help with any issue regarding a template or something outside our code.
If you have any question/request about our extensions i am glad to help.

Kind Regards,

Also just for clarification, the same will happen also in the VM category pages.

I think it's much easier for someone related with templates and layouts to solve that.
Since i have seen that you are using themler. I have no any experience at all with that.

If it generates, normal layout files, i can check it but that's the ultimate solution.

Can you please propose a solution?

Thanks

Check in Virtuemart config > Templates TAB
in
Activate Css Styles & Javascripts
> Use ajax for product content
Have to be checked

[bigrich66]

Everything ticked except "Use external google jQuery library"

[Studio 42]

I think that the template do not load all Virtuemart codes, compare original files and template files is the only solution.
If you try this link : https://antiligatureshopdirect.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=25&template=protostar
It use protostar and work.

Yes It does work to some extent but still does not bring up the variable prices and/or "Add to cart" button like it does on the Product details page below

https://antiligatureshopdirect.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=201&virtuemart_category_id=25&template=protostar

[Studio 42]

in all you have 2 problems, but this is in your template and Virtuemart config.
I already explained you all. If you need a développer, you can contact me or any other from this forum.
