Oh... English is not my native lang so excuse me.

For example:

I have custom group custom filed "Dimensions" and string custom fileds "Lenght", "Width" and "Height" - and they are childs of "Dimensions"
I would like to display it as follow:

Dimensions
   Lenght
   Width
   Height

what position is it set to?

"Normal" position

[PRO]

do you have the "normal" position in your template?


also, why not just use the length,width etc fields?

Yes, I have.

It's for example only. In a real it's a group of electrical parameters of generator as part of genset.

You cannot display a custom field of type "custom group"
This is used for internal classification and not for display.

You can do what you want by adding a header (e.g. Dimensions) above the custom field position that used to display these custom fields.
Ideally you have to create a unique position used only for the dimensions.
This has to be done to the product layout (components/com_virtuemart/views/productdetails/tmpl/default.php) or it's equivalent override in the template if exists.
The positions are declared in a code like:

Code Select Expand

shopFunctionsF::renderVmSubLayout('customfields',array('product'=>$this->product,'position'=>'ontop'));
