Search and Manufacturer modules: no CSS module class suffix field

[simbus82]

In the Virtuemart Seach Module and Manufacturer there is not a field to specify a CSS class suffix.

[simbus82]

In VM 2.0.2 with Joomla! 2.5.2

Without this css suffix is impossible to do some fine tuning to the graphic of these modules.

The backend of the modules included in VM AIO is different from module to module: can you uniform the admin for these modules?

This seems like a bug to me in virtuemart's search module:

I hacked it myself like this: (Joomla 2.5.4, Virtuemart 2.0.6)

Go to /modules/mod_virtuemart_search/mod_virtuemart_search.php

the 'hacked' beginning of the file should look like this:

Code Select Expand

<?php // no direct access
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access'); 

//Custom Hack(might get lost on next virtuemart-update!)
//appends virtuemart specific css to module, so this search module is stylable!
$document = JFactory::getDocument();
$document->addScriptDeclaration("
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$('div.search').parent().parent('.moduletable').attr('class', 'moduletablevmShopSearch');
})
");
?>

then u can add

Code Select Expand

div .moduletablevmShopSearch
{

}
to your template css.

Found out it has to do with a bug in the mod_virtuemart_search.xml file.

On line 81 just replace
       <fieldset group="advanced">
with
       <fieldset name="advanced">

Then you have the option to set the correct module class in the backend.

Hope the Development team will include this solution in the next release

I confirm this bug and I confirm that the proposed solution works fine.
