[isalcedo]

Hello Folks, Virtuemart have (by Default) with

Code Select Expand

<?php echo $this->orderByList['orderby']; ?> a layout "looks like" a Drop Down <select> Menu, but is a lots of Divs with style and Javascript, is there a way to turn it into a <select><option> Blah </option></select>? My Client is a Huge Fan of MacOs and is freak out about that menu doesnt looks like the others Drop Down <select> menus. Sorry if i cant explain me well, i speak english but not at this level.

yes there is, you are going to have to code it yourself. (ITS easier doing it with a module) Unless you want to hardcode it in the cat template

Not that hard though. I make my own dropdown with css only.

Just turn off sef, and view source for the parameters. Then build the urls with JRoute
like this
$bestsalesurl=JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id='.$dropcatid.'&Itemid='.$item.'&order=DESC&orderby=product_sales');

You could write a small function to wrap each in the <select>

$orderByList .= '</div>';

This is Great, Looks Great and same style in all Browsers, Off course, if is a error there, tell me.

[PRO]

thats hacking the core. we do not support it.

Just as easy to do in the template overrides

[isalcedo]

Oh! How can i override a model from Template? I know how to override modules and other stuff but, models, how?

[PRO]

you do not override the model. You build the form yourself like I said above

* Get the Order By Select List
*
* notice by Max Milbers html tags should never be in a model. This function should be moved to a helper or simular,...
*

Can you remove html code from model, please?
Because of this, many people have to create such inconvenient constructions:

Code Select Expand

<?
if (!empty($this->orderByList["orderby"]))
{
$order_html = $this->orderByList["orderby"];
$order_html = str_replace(array('title="-/+"','title="-/+"'), "", $order_html);
$order_html = str_replace("-/+", "<i class='fa fa-angle-up'></i>", $order_html);
$order_html = str_replace("+/-", "<i class='fa fa-angle-down'></i>", $order_html);
echo $order_html;
}
?>
