Add to cart button for futured products on the home page.

[Jerome]

I am sure I am not the only one but I couldn't find an answer to this.

I would like to simple have a add to cart button on the front page. I know how the template override works but don't know what code(s) to copy. I can I do this for joomla 2.5.4 and virturemart 2.0.6?

I have found the solution here.

Update..

copy from /sites/pondies/dev/components/com_virtuemart/views/productdetails/tmpl/default_addtocart.php

Code Select Expand

<div class="addtocart-area">

    <form method="post" class="product js-recalculate" action="index.php" >
<?php // Product custom_fields
if (!empty($this->product->customfieldsCart)) { ?>

    </form>

    <div class="clear"></div>
</div>

to your desired override file and location. e.g. I put mine on the featured front page.
original...    components/com_virtuemart/views/virtuemart/tmpl/default_products.php
overide/my desired override file... templates/yourtemplatename/html/com_virtuemart/virtuemart/default_products.php   (note: this has to be created)


I didn't want the plus and minus signs so I comment that code out

<span class="quantity-controls js-recalculate">
      <input type="button" class="quantity-controls quantity-plus" />
      <input type="button" class="quantity-controls quantity-minus" />
       </span>

For some reason in order for the minicart to show the product name I had to take out "this->"

<?php echo $this->product->product_name ?>" />
<?php echo $this->product->virtuemart_product_id ?>" />
<?php echo $this->product->virtuemart_manufacturer_id ?>" />
<?php echo $this->product->virtuemart_category_id ?>" />

That may or may not work for you.

check for missing divs and that's is it.
