[SOLVED]Related products shows current and related product

[diri]

Testing with Joomla! 3.6.5 and Virtuemart 3.2.1:

Related products are shown below product. That's fine so far.

Trouble is:
- I can't get language override working to get rid of standard phrases.
- In related products it shows name of current product AND name of related product.

In image attached AMS 125 ELIXIR CR is current product. Other ones are related.

Any help appriciated.

Forgot to mention:

Names displayed are stored in image description / name and the like at each product.

Ok, had a little time to think about problem with names shown:

Virtuemart stores meta information related to product images in _virtuemart_medias.

In case a manufacturer provides one image for several products and you "forget" to generate a separate copy of the image for each product but enter correct description at product level things get messed up.

Must find files to override image_desc and the like in whole virtuemart for this...

Problem with overriding language persists.

btw: Situation with image descriptions might be a problem with international shops as well.

to hide current product in related products (or to give it a style etc.):

1. add a unique css-class to product-page in MY_TEMPLATE\html\com_virtuemart\productdetails\default.php on first div:

Code Select Expand


<div class="productdetails-view productdetails product-container my-unique-product-class-<?php echo $this->product->virtuemart_product_id ?>">


2.  add unique css-classes to related-products in MY_TEMPLATE\html\com_virtuemart\sublayouts\related.php
and hide if match (customised related.php vm 3.0.18):

Code Select Expand


<?php defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');

$document = JFactory::getDocument();

$related = $viewData['related'];
$customfield = $viewData['customfield'];
$thumb = $viewData['thumb'];

$document->addStyleDeclaration('.my-unique-product-class-' . $related->virtuemart_product_id . ' .my-unique-related-product-class-' . $related->virtuemart_product_id . ' { display: none; }');

//juri::root() For whatever reason, we used this here, maybe it was for the mails
echo JHtml::link (JRoute::_ ('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=' . $related->virtuemart_product_id . '&virtuemart_category_id=' . $related->virtuemart_category_id), $thumb . $related->product_name, array('class' => 'my-unique-related-product-class-' . $related->virtuemart_product_id,'title' => $related->product_name));
if($customfield->wPrice){
$currency = calculationHelper::getInstance()->_currencyDisplay;
echo $currency->createPriceDiv ('salesPrice', 'COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_SALESPRICE', $related->prices);
}
if($customfield->wDescr){
echo '<p class="product_s_desc">'.$related->product_s_desc.'</p>';
}

gogo32, thank you very much.

Here is a proof of concept to show problem with international shops when product name has to be translated (no matter images are for one or multiple products):

update j25_virtuemart_medias
join j25_virtuemart_product_medias on j25_virtuemart_medias.virtuemart_media_id = j25_virtuemart_product_medias.virtuemart_media_id
join j25_virtuemart_products_de_de on j25_virtuemart_product_medias.virtuemart_product_id = j25_virtuemart_products_de_de.virtuemart_product_id
set j25_virtuemart_medias.file_title = j25_virtuemart_products_de_de.product_name,
j25_virtuemart_medias.file_meta = j25_virtuemart_products_de_de.product_name,
j25_virtuemart_medias.file_description = j25_virtuemart_products_de_de.product_name;

Switch to another language (not german) than.
