Category Page Fields for Templating

The Falang incompatibility is already reported here: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=97880

[hollywooood]

Good to know this now but I don't think anyone would know the affect it would have to pinpoint that it is in fact Falang.  Perhaps putting "causes product display errors" in the title might make it easier to find the associated problem.  Maybe I'm nitpicking here, not sure, spent a lot of time trying to sort that out.

Suggestion for Forum management:

There is a HUGE amount of information here on the board and identified bugs may be pretty difficult to discover, even with search.
However, a simple solution of moderators tagging all relevant messages (similar like sticky) which contain such identified bugs or other important messages would be an excellent mean to reduce a huge amount of duplication and frustratin for both moderators and users.

Like the faq and the sticky, this would be one of the first places for everybody to rapidly find solutions or at least identify known issues... Virtuemart is growing fast and I guess this solution would be beneficial for everybody.

I disabled image popup function in category page. But I want the image to link to the product page so I

Deleted below lines

<?php /** @todo make image popup */ echo $product->images[0]->displayMediaThumb('class="browseProductImage" border="0" title="'.$product->product_name.'" ',false,'class="modal"');?>

and replaced with this below but not working...

<?php echo JHTML::_('link', JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id='.$product-
>virtuemart_product_id.'&virtuemart_category_id='.$product->virtuemart_category_id),$product->images[0]->displayMediaThumb
('class="browseProductImage" border="0"',false)); ?>

What did I do wrong?

Thank you-:)

what is it doing?

What code should I use to measure the length, width and height to display in the category page?

Can I translate units (GR, M, etc.) to another language without PHP fixes?

Hi. It's possible to have a Normal Manufacturer List (like a menu) instead of a Dropdown list ?
<?php echo $this->orderByList['manufacturer']; ?>

[PRO]

lipes, ofcourse.

The only difference is the css

[lipes]

its possible to call some php code function like:
<?php echo $this->orderByList['manufacturer_product_categories']; ?>  or <?php echo $this->orderByList['mf_categories']; ?> or <?php echo $this->orderByList['categories']; ?> ?
When we are in a Manufacturer Page Users Could see the Available Product Categories of that Brand ...

In fact I dont know what php name could call Product Categories on the specific Manufacturer ...
Or we have to have this option first: http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/7343/60507342.png 
to do that ?

Thanks!

no,

I just did this
<?php print_r($this->manufacturer) ?>

and did not get the data you were looking for


You could always use modules to add extra stuff to pages

[lipes]

http://localhost/mp5/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_manufacturer_id=3

I'm trying to see in Manufacturer Id 3 ( or any other Manufacturer ID )... but cant find a solution to print all the possible commands

I've tryed to insert this <?php print_r($this->manufacturer) ?>  in my template folder /html/com_virtuemart / manufacturer / default.php

but dont work

Maybe could be related with this code in Module VM Category
$category->childs = $cache->call( array( 'VirtueMartModelCategory', 'getChildCategoryList' ),$vendorId, $category->virtuemart_category_id );

to get all Child Category Listing in the Manufacturer brand ?
But i dont know how to do it.. :/

$this->manufacturer
http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=100696.0

^^ ONLY works on    details
$this->   REFERS to the CURRENT object, which can be identified by the   ID in the url

Product Page  $this->   refers to the product that the product id is in the url
Category Page $this-> Refers to the category that the ID is in the URL
Manufacturer Page Detail $this-> Refers to the manufacturer that the ID is in the url

[lipes]

yes i already know that precious rules. But I'am in Module Manufacturer List View that comes with this url attached (index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=manufacturer&Itemid=131)

and with the link in One Manufacturer Brand (id 2) ( index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_manufacturer_id=2 )

is different that comming from the normal Product Categories the url ( index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=2 )
............................
In that Manufacturer (ID 2) Category (or Categories View i dont know the difference because i think this is working bad) the page doesnt show to me the Header Title of Manufacturer too... only displays this in html: <h1></h1> .. no title Name of Manufacturer!! :|
