Show Product Weights and Dimensions in Product Details

[webzight]

This is another one of those questions I thought I had seen an answer for previously, but can't seem to find it doing a search.

Why doesn't all the product information show in the 'Product Details' view, i.e. product weight and dimensions, UOM, etc and is there a way to make this happen

My client has been harping on this ever since I started building her site as a necessary required function!!

If I have to hand code it in, I'll do that, but I was hoping there is an easier way

[Edit by Milbo: vm3.0.12 has the customfield type "Property" which allows to display a property of the product (for example the weight)], please read http://docs.virtuemart.net/manual/general-concepts/212-customfields.html

Grab default.php from /components/com_virtuemart/views/productdetails/tmpl and add

Code Select Expand

<?php //Product Weight
if (!(($this->product->product_weight)==0)) { ?>
<span class="product-fields-title" >
<?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_WEIGHT') ?>
</span>
<?php echo $this->product->product_weight ?>
</br>
<?php } ?>

<?php //Product Length
if (!(($this->product->product_length)==0)) { ?>

<?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_LENGTH') ?>
<strong>
<?php echo floor($this->product->product_length) ?></strong>
</br>
<?php } ?>

<?php //Product Width
if (!(($this->product->product_width)==0)) { ?>

<?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_WIDTH') ?>
<strong>
<?php echo floor($this->product->product_width) ?></strong>
</br>
<?php } ?>

<?php //Product Height
if (!(($this->product->product_height)==0)) { ?>
<span class="product-fields-title" >
<?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_HEIGHT') ?>
</span>
<?php echo floor($this->product->product_height) ?>
</br>
<?php } ?>

anywhere you want it to show

Thanks tzic your code does work

The line breaks </br> were not working, everything was run together on one line

Inserted <p style="text-align: left;"></p> between each element and that fixed it

Now I need to get the unit-of-measure (UOM) to display and I'll be happier than a hooker on payday

You may add the following row after <?php echo $this->product->product_length ?> - <?php echo $this->product->product_width ?> etc.

<?php echo $this->product->product_lwh_uom ?>

The UOM is the same for length, width and heigth so you have to repeat the same row three times.

Attention Tested only on VM 2.0.6

Thanks James for the info

The issue I am having now is the decimals are being truncated from the length and width numbers, i.e. instead of 24.375 it just displays 24

What am I missing here

I am running the latest "stable" versions of everything

You have to change <?php echo floor($this->product->product_weight)  ?>  for  <?php echo $this->product->product_weight  ?> this function returns a float value rounded to the next lowest integer.

Thanks to tzic for this.  Exactly what I was looking for. 

Serena18, excellent thank you as well although this info helped me to figure out something different.  The above gave me the weight with 4 decimals after (like 10.0000KG) which looked silly.  So I basically did the reverse
replaced <?php echo $this->product->product_weight ?> with <?php echo floor($this->product->product_weight)  ?>
and it returns the display to 10KG

Fab guys thanks
