Product prices not updating in Category View

[cjsmiff]

Hi,

I have a problem in that the price does not update on the Category View page when an option that costs more than the base price is selected.

Product Page.. everything works as expected.

Any idea how I can fix this on the Category View page please?

I have only 2 template overrides (Sublayouts - products_horizon.php and products_slim.php) and have tried removing these. I have also tried changing my template to the Joomla default and the problem is the same.

I am using VM 3.4.2 with Joomla 3.9.3.

Kind Regards
Claire

you have a huge number of change events attached to the select and the ajax call doesn't fire at all

on standard vm I only see 2 -- vmprices and jq

try disabling customfields for all and your menu

why have all that js junk for a simple dropdown menu? .. just use some css

[cjsmiff]

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. The menu came with the Joomla template but the price changes don't work using the default Joomla template either.

I have just done a test using a string custom field and disabled the custom fields for all but the result is the same. The prices do not update on the product listing pages, they do update on the actual product page.

The tests you suggested I had already performed before posting here.

Have you selected "Cart Input" for your custom field configuration?

[cjsmiff]

Hi Jenkinhill,

Yes, customs fields have cart input set.

You have an template error, You are missing the class "product-container" in your category view.

Looks to me like the old 'Forte' template by Shape5, bundled with some third-party-addons of which some are dating back as far as 2012.
Did you get your template here? https://www.joomlart.com/member/downloads/shape5/free-joomla-templates/s5-forte

Bingo! Thank you! 

Except! That I can't figure out where to put it in the category/default.php file, everywhere I try it makes the prices update but it changes all other product prices to the same price too.

Any ideas where I should put it please?

Hi JJK,

Many thanks for you reply. Yes, you are right but my initial problem here is now solved.
Thanks again 

[Jörgen]

Glad You could solve it.

  Unfortunately this isn't fixed, I couldn't find the right place to put the class "product-container" in category view. All my attempts ended up changing all of the prices on all of the products on the page to the price selected.

I have tried various different templates including Joomla's included Beez3 & protostar, plus a couple of paid templates but the problem persists! I'm not sure that it is template related having tried so many other templates.

Any more ideas please?

Have a look at http://demo.virtuemart.net/  - this uses a styled version of Beez and VirtueMart default templates. Product prices update as expected.

The complete installation as used in the demo is available at http://dev.virtuemart.net/attachments/download/1159/com_virtuemart.3.4.5.10040_package_or_extract.zip

Does this shed any light? It doesn't for me!
I'm just about to try overwriting the core files with the files from the download link you supplied, again Thank you.

[cjsmiff]

Installed the package as per your link jenkinhill and now using vmbeez3 for the shop template, category template and main Joomla template but still no joy: https://www.cooksroom.co.uk/3demo/cornell-classic-alabaster/high-line-base-units-c-1.html

Curiously!!! I have set 2 of the products to be Featured Products on this page and the prices update as they should do in the Module!! So, what is wrong in my component display area? I have nooooo idea!

Cache problem ? Turn off cache and joomla cache plugin and clear cache to test.
