Hi techmodule,

perhaps I'm missing something???? but doesn't IMAGES already show when you open the ABC product by default?

If you want to learn how to create modules, you can read all about it (with examples for you to follow and download) over on the Joomla! site.

http://docs.joomla.org/Creating_a_Hello_World_Module_for_Joomla_1.5

It's pretty much the same for 2.5

Good luck.

Hi techmodule,

Your code won't run because it is not well formed.
Firstly we're working in PHP, and technically the only files that should contain any HTML elements in the VIEWS file, which means the first line of most of your code should read <?php and not <html

You should also name your modules so that they are easily recognisable, this is just a rule-of-thumb. You have "mod_medias", better if you called it "mod_virtuemart_medias"

Anyway... here's how you do it : (code is provided for anyone else wanting a solution ;D )



File Structure :

|- [mod_virtuemart_medias]
     |-- [tmpl]
     |     |- default.php
     |     |- index.html
     |-- helper.php
     |-- index.html
     |-- mod_virtuemart_medias.php
     |-- mod_virtuemart_medias.xml



mod_virtuemart_medias.xml
Code Select

mod_virtuemart_medias.php
Code Select


<?php
defined('_JEXEC') or die; 

require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/helper.php'; 

$id = JRequest::getInt('virtuemart_product_id'); 
$images = modVmMediasHelper::getMedias($id); 

require JModuleHelper::getLayoutPath('mod_virtuemart_medias', $params->get('layout', 'default')); 



helper.php
Code Select


<?php
defined('_JEXEC') or die; 
class modVmMediasHelper {
  
 static function getMedias($id) { 
 $productModel = VmModel::getModel('product');
 return $productModel->getProduct($id);
 } 
}  



default.php
Code Select


<?php
defined('_JEXEC') or die; 

echo $images->images[0]->displayMediaThumb('', false);
echo '<br>';
echo $images->images[0]->displayMediaFull('class="medium-image" id="medium-image"', false);





That should be enough to get you started. Good luck.
