Category Page Fields for Templating

[PRO]

Dears,

How we can display an image in the category view when a product is special?
We use the code for the product page:

Code Select Expand

<?php if ($this->category->product_special == 1) { ?>
                  <div>SALE ITEM!!!!! </div>
               <?php    }?>

But that doesn't work for the category page!

Can anybody help me out?

Thanks in advanced!

Hi all

I'm trying to add button Order (Order=Ask Question) in Category, but cant write correct $url for this case:

$url = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&task=askquestion&virtuemart_product_id='.$product->virtuemart_product_id.'&virtuemart_category_id='.$this->category->virtuemart_category_id.'&tmpl=component');

My problem - product id:
virtuemart_product_id='.$product->virtuemart_product_id.' - it does not work

Is there someone out there who can help me? Thanks!

I want to edit price font in Category view, so I found out using Firebug that I need to change some file in ...\components\com_virtuemart\assets\css\ folder.

Is it ok if I change css settings there? Is new VM update going to rewrite those settings?

hi

i was trying to write for some help but than i realised how to help myself

in the /com_virtuemart/views/category/tmpl/default.php 

// Show Category
            ?>
            <div class="category floatleft ..... 

  but class="category" does not display category    elements like the class  "product"

in order to display category right like   I I I (the per row number) i changed  category with product

// Show Category
            ?>
            <div class="product floatleft center<?php echo $category_cellwidth . $show_vertical_separator ?> ">
               <div class="spacer" >

i'm using this to display an icon on a featured (special) product.

Code Select Expand

<?php  if ($this->product->product_special == 1){
$image_class='special';}?>
<div id="<?php echo $image_class ?>">

and it works perfectly in product details view

i'm trying to do the same thing in category view.
it shows the image but...over the wrong product! what's happening? thank you.

How would I go about changing it so that when I click on a Category Image it takes me to the Sub Category Page, and then so on until the Product Listing.

I have tried this code...

<?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="catImage" border="0"',false));
                  ?>

On these files with no change...

template/html/com_virtuemart/virtuemart/default.php
template/html/com_virtuemart/virtuemart/default_categories.php
template/html/com_virtuemart/category/default.php

components/com_virtuemart/views/category/tmpl/default.php
components/com_virtuemart/views/virtuemart/tmpl/default.php
components/com_virtuemart/views/virtuemart/tmpl/default_categories.php

Hi,

how can I set product thumbnail (from category page, not from product details) to link to URL specified in product information?

Link Image to product page
   <?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="catImage" border="0"',false));
                  ?>

<?php echo $this->category->category_name; ?>

Almost three days trying to do this. Could somebody help?

<h1><?php echo $this->category->category_name; ?></h1>

here is the default code in the default.php

sounds like you may be putting it inside of something you should not

Tnaks PRO for comment. Like you said, I was trying to put it in wrong places
