$this-> VS $product->

[Stonedfury]

How can I load the current product into a module? I tried

Code Select Expand

<?php echo $this->product->product_name ?> I get no error but I get no module text either. The module shows the title shows but it just doesn't load a product name.

[Stonedfury]

I purchased a very crappy module that loads recently purchased products. I have been trying to clean it up and make it load better. I could truly use some help. I don't want to commandeer this post though. I was just checking to make sure I wasn't totally stupid. lol Ill start a new topic.

Hello,
I would show you a picture in the category when a product is not available.
I would use something like this:

Code Select Expand

<div style="padding:5px;">
<a><?php if ($this->product->product_in_stock == 0) {echo "<img src='http://mysite/images/red2.png' non disponibile' onclick=\"javascript:window.open('/legenda.html','legenda',')\"";} 
                ?></a>
</div>

I used this product in detail and it worked out great in the category but I do not know how to do.
can anyone help me please?

There is a place foreach one

The code that I posted it found around ilo web and it worked perfectly for product details.
I simply would like to know how should I modify it to make it work aqnche products in the category.
Can you help me please?

Product variables are called on the category page with   $product-> and NOT    $this->

SO, CHANGE
$this->   to $product->

Nope. I don't see original code. BTW the first pages of each of those two sticked threads about Template Overrides in this forum section could give you a hint.

Hello,

I have Joomla 2.5.14 and VM 2.0.18b. I used this solution http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=106732.0 to display related products prices on a product details page. But after I began to use different prices for registered and not registered users the prices of related products disappeared. There were "0" instead of prices. So, as I understand, I need to correct this code somehow:
$product = $model->getProductSingle($field->custom_value,false);
$price = $calculator -> getProductPrices($product);
echo $currency->priceDisplay($price['salesPrice']);
Can you help me with this?

[Maxim Pishnyak]

Version is outdated.
