Category Page Fields for Templating

[jey09]

hi
I tried to put the complete short description, but I cant, i put: Short Description

<?php echo $product->product_s_desc ?>

where before was
<?php echo shopFunctionsF::limitStringByWord($product->product_s_desc, 40, '...') ?>

but it still having the description with final "..." and stripping the text.

I use virtuemart 2.0.2 and joomla 2.5,
the php file that i'm modifing is \templates\ot_bicyclegreen\html\mod_virtuemart_product\default.php

what more can I do to see all the short description and manufacturer and product name in product list?

thanks

Sorry but I don't undestand what are you saying,
In my page when you click on a category, it displays a list of the products inside, this products in list, appears with only a photo and the short description (cut version) and the prize, but I want the whole description and the name, but it doesnt change

here a picture of it

THIS
\templates\ot_bicyclegreen\html\mod_virtuemart_product\default.php

is the product module,

NOT the category page

Hi, how do I call a products extra field in category view? My extra field is called Backup? I want to display my edit form type extra field that has html in it in my category view only as my product will not display this info.

Thanks.

Please, what is the name of the webpage file these category page edits should be applied to and where in the HTML directory might it be found?

It is not clear for me how to add full product description in category page. I want to have short product description with limit words and after that i need to get full product description. Yagendoo is template name wich i use, i tried to add  <?php echo $product->product_desc ?>. but it is not working. please help.

Don't violate Yagendo copyright.

Why you don't use such simple construction like this
<?php echo $product->product_desc ?>
?

Hello!

How can I get a direct url to thumb image in category page? (components\com_virtuemart\views\category\tmpl\default.php)

This code

Code Select Expand

<?php echo $product->images[0]->displayMediaThumb('class="browseProductImage"', false); ?>
creates an <img ... src="url to thumb image"...> tag.

I tried:

Code Select Expand



echo $product->category->images[0]->file_url_thumb;
or
echo $this->category->images[0]->file_url_thumb;
or
echo $this->product->file_url_thumb
or
echo $this->product->images[0]->file_url_thumb;

and a few more options. dosent work :(



This code works in product pages.

Code Select Expand

<?php echo $this->product->images[0]->file_url_thumb; ?>


Please help!
