Is it possible to add attributes to products in Virtuemart 3

[GJC Web Design]

simple solution - forget the @ -- cheese is + 2 quid - what is the "at" for?

[AH]

GJC the @ enables the drop variants to be "exploded"

IN the dropbox plugin

You can use any other character for this

But you need to change the code to something that works for you 

Here

plugins/vmcustom/drop/drop.php

Code Select Expand

$valueWithPrice = explode('@', $valuesWithPrice);


AND here

plugins/vmcustom/drop/tmpl/default.php

$valueWithPrice = explode('@', $valuesWithPrice);

Note that the XML file explanation will also be incorrect if you use a different character so you could change that too.

Ok thanks a lot, could you give me the file path to the xml file please?

[jimleeder123]

The whole of the "drop" folder has its permissions on the server stuck to not being able to write so I can't edit any of the files. The server is using Plesk 10.3.1. Any idea how to fix?

[AH]

Change in the zip file and re-install!

The xml ile is in the zip - just look in there

[jimleeder123]

I'm doing this now (since I decided to do all other design parts done first) so what should I edit in the XML file if I change to symbol to "/"?

exploding cheese?   Not touching this plug then...

[jimleeder123]

Wheres the cheese come from?

On a more serious note, Hutson where do I need to edit the XML file?

I tried editing the drop.php file and default.php files so instead of "@" its now "/", zipped it up and reinstalled it. I did nothing to the XML file. However it's still appearing. I think its going to show the "exploder" sign no matter what.

Hutson - do you know how to fix this or is there a character that won't show like this?

[jimleeder123]

I have also seen that editing those 2 files stops it working if I change "@" to "/". Does the XML file definitely need editing and if so where please?

[AH]

Hold on - I see from your original post that the variables were separated correctly and the the "funny" characters were next to you currency symbol

Go check in Vm admin and look what is set in your GBP currency symbol!

I think the problem comes from there - NOT this plugin!!

[jimleeder123]

The currency symbol is set to "£" as expected, doesn't look like anything is wrong there.

[jimleeder123]

I've tried changing the "£" to "$" and it fixes it. However I need to be a pound sign since this is an English website.

[AH]

Ok I think this is breaking it

plugins/vmcustom/drop/tmpl/default.php

Code Select Expand

}
// $selects[] = array('value' =>$valueWithPrice[0], 'text' => $text );
$selects[] = array('value' =>$valueWithPrice[0], 'text' => htmlentities($text) );
}

change to

Code Select Expand


$selects[] = array('value' =>$valueWithPrice[0], 'text' => $text );
// $selects[] = array('value' =>$valueWithPrice[0], 'text' => htmlentities($text) );
