(SOLVED)Customfields to Category (or browse) page - VirtueMart 3.

[tehribo]

Hello,

After 5 years I installed VirtueMart again. Everything is fine but I gone crazy trying to display the "customfields" in my Product list (category view).

I am selling electric motors and each of them have 2 basic parameters - Power and Speed.

I want to have them in a column in the Product lists.

It is a second day I am trying to do it, reading all the previous topics, but the things seems to be changed with VirtueMart 3.

Thank you in advance!

Best regards

Thank you for your answer: 

• Joomla version, 3.5.1.
  
• VirtueMart 3.0.16
• PHP 5.3

I have not installed any Virtuemart templates. Just downloaded the VM and installed it in my website.

The Joomla template which I am using is the free Joomlart - Purity III

"Show product customfields in browse views" is checked.

@Ghost, I tried also the example mentioned here: http://docs.virtuemart.net/tutorials/templating-layouts/199-sublayouts.html

Code Select Expand

<?php echo shopFunctionsF::renderVmSubLayout('prices',array('product'=>$this->product,'currency'=>$this->currency)); ?>

Can you please give me the exact syntax of including the customfields, instead of prices?

Thank you in advance!

There are no more Virtuemart templates. The Joomla template has to include the neccessary overrides for VM3. Try with the Protostar template as a starter.

1. Copy /components/com_virtuemart/sublayouts/products.php to /templates/purity_iii/html/com_virtuemart/sublayouts/products.php.

2. Add this inside the copied file, inside product loop:

Code Select Expand

echo shopFunctionsF::renderVmSubLayout('customfields',array('product'=>$product,'position'=>'normal'));

Hello,

I did it like this:

Code Select Expand

<?php echo "Customfields".shopFunctionsF::renderVmSubLayout('customfields',array('product'=>$product,'position'=>'normal'));
?>

Unfortunatelly this is the output:



Attached you will find also my products.php file.

[Jörgen]

Hello

Replace "Customfields" with the text You prefer.

Jörgen @ Kreativ Fotografi

[tehribo]

What do you mean?

The "Customfields" word, which you see on the picture is just echo-ed in the php line (<?php echo "Customfields"...), to show you where I was expecting to see the custom fields?

Thank you again for the patience!

Attached you will find the way I set them up.

[Jörgen]

Soory, but this was not so clear, You circled the Customfield and we do not speak russian.
Are Your customfields asigned the position  'normal' ?


Jörgen @ Kreativ Fotografi

[tehribo]

Actually I have not assigned them any position?
Maybe this is the problem?

But why I can see them on the Product page?



Edited:

I tried to setup Layout position "normal" , still did not fix it

[Ghost]

Normal is the default position. If no position is set, normal is used.

Make sure "Show product customfields in browse views" is enabled in VM Configuration -> Shopfront.

[tehribo]

This fixed it! I am sure it was checked yesterday!

Maybe in all my attempts I removed the check mark.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH YOU ALL!

After 5 years VM is even better.
