Product Detail / Add to cart

[david64]

Hello I am new to the forum and to Viteumart. However I have succsefully installed VitueMart to Joomla and I have done a lot of the configuration and set up a product. I have added the front page of VitueMart to a Menu option and this is all working well.

But what I would really like to do is rather than have all the products on my website in this on store (Which I can do if needed) is really have what is displayed if you were to select the product detail and you where then directed back to the product article but with the Vituemart Price, tax, and add to cart button.

I have seen a couple of commercial products on the web that claim to do this but with no ratings or review of the product.

Could someone please help me with advice on this or move this to the correct section of the forum.

Sorry the ones I have seen mentioned are listed below. I suppose I could try the free ones first but I really don't like installing software on to my computer that alone into Joomla where I really don't know how to uninstall  a plug in and make sure nothing is left behind to trip me up at a later date.

These plugins used to be called productsnapshot - you effectively can have a snapshot of the product in a Joomla article if you wish. There are some here in our third party developer forum: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?board=135.0

Thanks for your reply and I did search through this section but i am afraid with my level of knowledge of this at this point I couldn't find  anything that clicked with me.

What I want to be able to do is go from the article where all the detailed information, data sheets ect are about the specific product and have the price displayed and the add to cart button displayed.

Am I correct that I will still have to create all the products in the Vituemart categories as well?
Is there any way to import this information from the articles I have already written? I am not that fussed as the work to automate it might be harder than just slogging away at the data entry.

Categories & products must still be created in VirtueMart, with shipping/payment systems all set up. Once those are there you can use a version of productsnapshot like this one or  Products Anywhere with links to each product in your Joomla articles.

OK thanks that was actually one (second one in the list ) I was looking at. I also did see this in the discussion you pointed me to but discarded it as I thought I was looking for something different than what I had mentioned. Anyway thanks It sounds like you are giving this product your tick of approval. Which is what I was really looking for.
